Brittany Doth Protest Too Much. I thought this book was hilarious and fun, although it got tiresome after a while that Brittany kept beating herself up with shame and self-loathing. She seems to exaggerate the alleged defects of her various body parts. She's a beautiful woman, which made this live-and-don't-learn self-abuse act grow tiresome toward the end. She looks great, and size 18 is not obese. I thought, okay, that's just her schtick. Then she got super preachy at the very end about fat-shaming, which was an odd turn after she spent most of the book shaming herself. I also take issue with her riff that if you're not a doctor, you can't say that obesity generally is unhealthy; although it's true that you can't evaluate a stranger's current health just based upon their weight. A disease process takes time. The fact is that obesity does over-tax the cardiovascular system and causes diabetes; and estrogen in fat makes cancer more likely. I may not be a doctor, but my doctor at the Mayo Clinic told me that. It's on every reputable health web site you can think of. She takes no responsibility for eating too much, or eating really disgusting foods like Chicken McNuggets, which were at the center of a recent health controversy. She blames fat-shamers for her binges on fattening, nutrition free foods. Her bulimia is a disorder, as is her body dysmorphia. And nobody made her take diet pills until she got sick and keeled over. That was her decision. I agree with her that popular culture generally is too wrapped up in women being young, sexy, and a size 2. That standard excludes just about everybody. But "fat shaming" is just one particular form of rudeness, which is not exclusive to obesity. Women who are older get it. Women who deviate from uniform concepts of attractiveness get it. So, overall, this was a pretty fun, funny, and honest book, right up until the end, treating obesity like a civil rights issue, when in most cases it is a self-control issue. Which still does not give people carte blanche to be rude to strangers. If you're happy being fat, stop hating yourself and enjoy. If you're not happy about it, take action. But assessing blame for your obesity on others' reactions to it well into adulthood is just buck passing.

Amazing and so relatable!. Most of us have the normal average childhood story that may not have been pleasant. This book was great, Brittany is hilarious and she tells you her story without holding anything back. You will thoroughly enjoy this book and wish there was more as you come to the end!

BEST BOOK EVER. I love how raw and open she is. Hilarious. Strong. Inspiring. Couldn't put it down!

Amazing Woman shares story. Brittany Gibbons and her stories make so much sense to this overweight, sometimes depressed, former Catholic who happens to be married to an overweight wife. In a few ways this book let me get to know me better and my wife better too. My heart breaks with some of the stuff you shared. I went thru some of the same junk. I'm going through some of it now. Thanks for being an Internet hero and someone that communicates back.

Loved this book and it made me laugh!. Brittany wrote from the heart and I read her book like we were having a phone conversation. I definitely feel empowered!

READ THIS...NOW. This book left me laughing until I cried. It struck a chord and a nerve and I felt like she was writing about me. I can't wait until she writes another book. I highly recommend women and men of all sizes to read this.

Brilliant and real. I felt like I was reading my own thoughts, fears, emotions, rationalizations... Brittany is every woman who has ever struggled with her physical image. So basically, she's every woman, ever. It's real and sweary and funny and honest and naked (pun intended). I loved it and can't wait for more.

Beautiful, Funny, Right on the mark.. This book is easy to read, and hard to read for all the right reasons. I hoarded it so I wouldn't be done too fast and still finished in three days. She is painfully honest in a way that makes you brave just for reading it. And by brave I mean "wow if she can say that maybe I can feel like that too!" Not because it's a scary book. Buy this.
