*by N***A on Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2018*

Here are my bullet points about why I've enjoyed this book and recommend it for folks of ALL SIZES to read.*Body liberation is what's up, whatever your size.  I learned about the importance of body liberation vs body positivity and am on board 100%, read the book to understand why.*Her honesty is fresh and empowering.  If you've ever wondered if you're the only one who's had (fill in the blank thought/experience), Jes Baker is willing to open up and share her own experiences so that you know you're not the only one.*Representation is important.*She's done a lot of critical thinking on weight, body image, health and any other number of related topics... this is one hell of an opportunity to really understand these issues through the mind of someone who has put a copious amount of time, intelligence and energy into understanding and navigating these controversial and necessary subjects.Read this book.  Thank you Jes Baker for your vulnerability!

    Wanted to like it more
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2020*

The last two chapters are what I hoped the whole book would be like. However, for me, it took an inordinately long time to get there. The encouragement early on to simply go with your impulses and damn those who don’t understand may be fine for plus size people but is hugely dangerous for those with diabetes,morbid obesity or other serious medical issues. I’ve worked with people who have had multiple amputations as a result of not being able to control their diets and it’s not pretty. So much of the book struck me as irresponsible and self-aggrandizing.Additionally I believe this would have been a much better book with a better editor. Sadly it reads, to my mind, as a if the author was putting together a rushed term paper on loads of coffee and uppers. Bloggers need to understand that blogging is not the same as producing a good nonfiction book. A much better book from my perspective is Judith Moore’s Fat Girl which seemed a more coherent and well thought out treatise on struggling with weight.I understand that many will disagree and find the book enlightening and edifying. Sadly I am not one of those.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Fun and Insightful book!
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2018*

I took my time reading this book, so I could really understand the author's point of view. It started off as a funny, breezy book, and Jes described her life with asides that made me smile. Then she dug in deep to the nooks, crannies and shadows of her experience in a larger body. I really appreciated her honesty, vulnerability and candidness. She brings up some questions I'm not sure if we're going to be comfortable answering for ourselves in our own hearts, which is what makes this book worth reading.
