Summary:
"From the star of the TLC reality TV show
My
Big
Fat
Fabulous
Life
comes an empowering memoir about letting go of your limitations and living the
life
you deserve. Whitney Way Thore stands five feet two and weighs well over 300 pounds, and she is totally, completely, and truly happy. But she wasn't always the vivacious, confident woman you see on TV. Growing up as a dancer, Whitney felt the pressure to be thin, a desire that grew into an obsession as she got older. From developing an eating disorder as a teenager, to extreme weight gain in college, to her ongoing struggle with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), Whitney reveals her fight to overcome the darkest moments in her
life
. She opens up about the depths of her depression as well as her resilience in the face of constant harassment and mistreatment. Whitney shares the steps she took and the powerful message behind her No Body Shame campaign. How Whitney finally discovered her fabulousness when she stepped off the scale and into her
life
, embracing herself unconditionally"--Provided by publisher.
