You Are Not a Before Picture: How to Finally Make Peace with Your Body, for Good by Alex Light

informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

This is great for straight sized people who are starting out on their journey to improve their body image. It gives you a nuanced overview of the history of diet culture and fatphobia and raises awareness of their origins.

For fat people, it may not be the right book to start your journey. You can tell it‘s written from a straight sized person‘s lens (and there‘s nothing wrong with that, obviously!) and it may not be as helpful because of it.
