The Unapologetic Fat Girl's Guide to Exercise and Other Incendiary Acts by Hanne Blank

5.0

I think this book has forever changed my relationship to exercise, my body, and moving through the world. I started reading it after my neurologist suggested aerobic activity to help alleviate a migraine condition I was developing. Having consumed a lot of Healthy at Every Size and Fat Activism content on the internet, I was uncomfortable starting an exercise program out of a sense that it was a thinly veiled attempt to make me lose weight. But this book made me feel in charge of my own wellbeing, helped me figure out what kind of movement makes me feel good, and confirmed the value of exercising* for the sake of how I FEEL in my body in the world, not how I look. <3 <3 <3 it big time.

*I actually use the term body practice instead of exercise in my own life, following a suggestion in this book.

**If you don't agree with any of what I've said, that's toooootally fine, but I'm not really interested in debating about it! Thanks!
