Fatty Fatty Boom Boom: A Memoir of Food, Fat, and Family by Rabia Chaudry

emotional informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

I appreciate when an actual fat person talks about what it's like living as a fat person. This book spoke to me as someone who is fat and struggled with their weight their entire life. Rabia Chaudry speaks on a wide range of experiences, from shame eating to realizing she was the biggest person in the room, to that feeling of the waistline of your pants gradually getting tighter, but not being able to stop eating. She also discusses her relationship with food as an immigrant from Pakistan, and how her family's chasing of the American Dream correlated to her weight gain and relationship with food. Fatty Fatty Boom Boom is honest, real, and relatable. If you know a fat person, are a fat person, or love a fat person, read it immediately.
