About this title

Synopsis

The author, herself a size 24, exposes discrimination in all its forms and reveals that this is far more threatening to a woman's physical and mental health than the health risks associated with being fat. She puts tough questions to Harley Street surgeons, dieticians and others with a vested interest in women wanting to be thinner, and talks to doctors who confess that prejudice, not science, makes them condemn fat women as unhealthy.

From the Publisher

Targeting society's fat taboo and unrealistic view of body image, Shelley Bovey offers a new battle cry for "fat girls" everywhere: Don't lose weight--lose guilt and inhibition!
