“You Just Need to Lose Weight”: And 19 Other Myths About Fat People by Aubrey Gordon

---

This is an important read. Everyone should take steps to confront their own biases and this is a great place to start. That said, take care. Do it when you’re in a good head space and mentally prepared to do the work. There is a lot of data presented and questions for self-reflection at the end of each chapter. It’s written by a fat person but it’s not about her experiences specifically, it’s about the general experience of being fat and corresponding research on the topic.
