As a survivor of an eating disorder, where I was sure that controlling calories would help me control everything, I am very sensitive to discussions about fat.

Let's face it, we all know that today, fat is more of a political topic than a health one. And that is why we keep getting larger.

My mother always struggled with her weight. And she needed a partner. I was dragged to every WW and OA meeting, forced to eat ice milk and drink diet soda, and always took off half a burger bun.

Guess what? I wasn't fat. In no photo am I fat.

But later on in life I did gain weight, and realized that the way I looked was how I pictured myself my whole life.

This book tells the stories of the victims of Fat fear and fat talk. It's important.
