Whether
you’re overweight or over dieting, Wendy
Shanker and The Fat Girl’s Guide to Life
will help you drop insecurity instead of pounds.
Wendy
Shanker is a fat, healthy, beautiful girl who
has simply had enough. Enough of family, friends,
co-workers, women’s magazines, even strangers
on the street, all trying (and failing) to make
her thin. She finally decided, “If I can’t
take it off, I’m going take it on.”
With
a mandate to change the world—and the energy
to do it—Wendy shows how media madness,
corporate greed, and even the most well-intentioned
loved ones prey on our shrink-to-fit minds, if
not our shrink-to-fit bodies. She invites people
of all sizes, shapes, and dissatisfactions to
trade self-loathing for self-tolerance, celebrity
worship for reality reverence, and a carb-free
life for a guilt-free Krispy Kreme donut.
Wendy
explores dieting debacles, full-figured fashions,
and feminist feelings while guiding you through
exercise clubs, doctor’s offices, shopping
malls, and even the bedroom. She believes that
you can be fit and fat, even as the weight loss
industry conspires to make you think otherwise.
The Fat Girl’s Guide To Life asks you to
step off the scale and weigh the issues for yourself.
