This book changed my perspective on so much. As I try to break down my unhealthy relationship with food, this book felt like a casual, but informative, conversation with the gals. I felt like I was hanging out with my best friends sipping red wine, chatting about the unrealistic standards put on to women.

This book completely changed my perspective on food and helped me reshape my day-to-day approach to eating and working out. Her message is blunt and in-your-face, yet compassionate. Definitely recommend to anyone struggling with diet culture and looking to break free of it.

I've been on many diets since I've been a child... Yes, since I've been a child, this sounds so horrible to me right now, that as a child I was encouraged to diet, to lose weight, to restrict my food, because my body was bigger than what my parents were willing to accept. Later on in my life, I was trying diets on my own, following plans found in glossy, 'health' magazines. I attended two different weight loss programs, and it all didn't end up well for me. I gradually developed an eating disorder, that was getting worse, and worse. I still battling it to this day and now I'm ready to start doing something about my eating, more than just not thinking about it, and not caring for what I'm eating, not because I was eating intuitively but because I was rebelling against my own body and expectations that are put on it.
The very personal note above is to present how important this book is for me, and for many people who have similar experiences. I read [b:Fat Is a Feminist Issue|468872|Fat Is a Feminist Issue|Susie Orbach|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1347643236s/468872.jpg|457211] that touches on the same topics and talks about intuitive eating, but Just Eat It is written in so much more friendly tone, it's easy to follow and entertaining, but at the same time delivering very powerful message - fuck the diet culture, stop spending all your energy on dieting. The delivery of the message is perfect for our times and culture, it is not a medical text saying how fatphobia and weight stigma impact our health, it delivers those messages in insta-friendly quotes, references modern pop-culture and feels like it was written by your friend. The thing I didn't like though is that after some time the book felt a bit too repetitive, some topics could be combined or shortened.
Just Eat It is the anti-diet book of our times ladies, and I encourage you all to read it!
