This book is about challenging the fatphobia in our everyday culture with Gordon's life story in-between a lot of data. All content warnings are expected since it's in the title of the book.

adventurous emotional hopeful informative inspiring sad medium-paced

As others have said, this should be required reading for anyone with a body. 

It’s achingly hard to get through but also wonderfully validating who experiences anti-fatness. It is a powerful indictment of our medical and diet industries and a call for truly re-examining and dismantling the harmful and deadly bias of anti-fatness.
