As someone who has struggled with diet culture and body acceptance I found this book very relatable. It's very conversationally written and pulled me in and sustained my interest.
A great book to help you adjust your attitude towards your body and self image. Her Instagram is also great (bodyposipanda).
I love this more than words. It felt so very personal, but it was so very important. I will honestly cherish this book forever. I love Megan so much, and she is one of the brightest lights in this world.
Love love love! She is amazing and this book is amazing. I feel like it was written for me. The sad thing is so many women feel this way and we shouldn’t. Megan is an amazing role model and I would recommend this book to anyone that has ever had issues with their body.
This title archived the day after I was approved, so I had to buy it in order to read and review it. That said, I am so happy I bought the book because it’s one I will treasure. It’s positive, supportive, and enlightening, and the author is an endearing and motivating person. I hope everyone reads this book!
I follow Megan Crabbe on Instagram and enjoy seeing her posts. I was thrilled when she came out with a body-positive book. It gave me the confidence to do yoga in a studio where everyone is skinnier than me. Megan's book compliments her Instagram account and goes more in depth of how to love your body and assures you that where you are now is beautiful.
Society has always made those that lack the perfect body feel out of place and ashamed of who they are, but the author of this book wants the reader to love who they are no matter what size they are! I really enjoyed the positivity of this book! It is much needed for women of all ages!
This is one of those books that when you read it, it leaves a bigger mark on you as a person and as a women. I even recommended this book to my teenage daughters to read. I thought this book was fantastic and to me I think it should be a book that everyone should read. Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read and write about this book.
What a great book! I love the message that we should all be proud of ourselves regardless of our size or appearance.
I haven't highlighted and shared this many quotes from a book in a looooong time. Megan Jayne Crabbe has a way with words, and really smart way of seeing things.
While this book covers some of the same ground that other recent body-positive books do, it also goes a lot deeper and deals with difficult but really important issues like eating disorders, mental health, and what to do if those you love participate in body-shaming you. I also really, really appreciated that Crabbe explicitly included people living with disabilities and chronic health issues, one group that is often left out of these conversations.
This is one of those books that I just want to buy 100 copies of and leave them places so that people will find them and read them and maybe we will start to change the world.
Positive message in a sweet, approachable tone. The author shares her personal journey to loving her own body, and offers encouragement for readers tired of dieting, weigh-ins, and the constant media onslaught to be Barbie-thin. I look forward to getting this into the hands of young women and patrons of all ages.
This book is going to change lives. It should be a must-read for every young woman. Interesting topics and even more interesting story from the author’s personal life. Loved every second of it. Didn’t want it to end!
I have never read a book so powerful and so inspiring. Megan awed me with her wit, story telling, and just amazing things to say. I am now a huge fan of hers and will read anything she writes!
This was a bit repetitive at times and didn't necessarily present much new information, but Crabbe did a good job of representing a variety of people, when most similar books focus on cisgender white women only. This isn't a must read, but it is worth reading if you're interested in feminism or body positivity.
