You Have The Right To Remain Fat: A Manifesto

by Virgie Tovar - £7.99  Melville House UK (2018)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781911545163 | ISBN 10: 1911545167

An inspiring feminist manifesto calling for the end of oppressive diet culture - and embracing and accepting bodies of all sizes.
 
Growing up as a fat girl, Virgie Tovar believed that her body was something to be fixed. But after two decades of dieting and constant guilt, she was over it — and gave herself the freedom to trust her own body again. Ever since, she’s been helping others to do the same.
 
Tovar is hungry for a world where bodies are valued equally, food is free from moral judgment, and you can jiggle through life with respect. In concise and candid language, she delves into unlearning fatphobia, dismantling sexist notions of fashion, and rejecting diet culture’s greatest lie: that fat people need to wait before beginning their best lives.
