Summary

Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls is a manifesto and call to arms for women of all sizes and ages. With smart and sassy eloquence, veteran blogger Jes M. Baker calls on women to be proud of their bodies, fight against fat shaming, and embrace a body-positive worldview to change public perceptions and help women maintain mental health. With the same straightforward tone that catapulted her to national attention when she wrote a public letter addressing the sexist comments of Abercrombie & Fitch's CEO, Jes shares personal experiences along with in-depth research in a way that is approachable, digestible, and empowering. Featuring notable guest authors, Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls is an invitation for all women to reject fat prejudice, learn to love their bodies, and join one of the most progressive and life-changing revolutions in the world.

This is intelligent, well written and inspiring. A thought provoking, feel good read, with sound psychology and valid political points.

Good stuff! Not just for plus size girls!

Straight talking, to the point book however I felt it was a tad conflicting.
Starts by declaring "being healthy is the new skinny" and (from what I picked up) this is inherently the wrong thing. Later in the book they refer to feeling bad as a direct result of not training and making poor food choices, so they train and eat better, which to me is being healthy.
I realise there are frustrations which I cannot understand but this felt at times more of an "attack everyone else" instead of a "self love" book.
Again, I'm aware I don't have the understanding as a skinny white man.

This is a book which, although may have a target audience in the title, every’body’ should read it. Jes doesn’t hold back and the world could use more people like her. Since it is narrated by the author the words have belief and sincerity in them.

Not just for fat girls.
