I Do It with the Lights On: And 10 More Discoveries on the Road to a Blissfully Shame-Free Life | Whitney Way Thore

pick

If you have ever struggled with your weight, you will identify with a lot of Thore's experiences growing up with the complexities of diet culture, stereotypes, unrealistic expectations, self-confidence, and a slew of other issues faced by those of us who don't live up to society's standards for perfection. Her message comes across loud and clear, that you can and should love yourself; your worth and humanity are not determined by how you look.

I LOVE this book! āļø¸āļø¸āļø¸āļø¸āļø¸ If you already have a fondness for Whitney- her smarts, her humor, her feminism and her No Body Shame campaign, you will enjoy this book immensely. If you don‘t , it‘ll intensify whatever feelings you have about her message (and her laugh). ā¯¤ļø¸ā¯¤ļø¸ā¯¤ļø¸

@toddred29 and I are traveling back to Iowa from South Dakota for his side family Christmas. Roads are clear, the countryside is beautiful and Whitney‘s #Audible is keeping us laughing. ā¯„ļø¸āļø¸ā¯„ļø¸

tracey38 Have a good trip! 6y

staci.reads Where in Iowa are you? The roads around us in Northern Iowa aren't too bad, but my parents drove home from southern Iowa yesterday and it was treacherous! 6y

BlameJennyJane Thank you @tracey38 ! We had a great trip and made it home safely. š 6y

BlameJennyJane @staci.reads when I took the pics we were in the middle of South Dakota, then there was barely a dusting ā€til Omaha... but after that it was snow covered all the way home. We live in the Des Moines metro and were lucky enough to get home after the roads were all but dry. Glad your parents made it safely! 6y

I‘ve been in a bit of a non-fiction reading slump lately but Whitney is bringing me right out of it. I just love her. She doesn‘t pretend to be perfect. She doesn‘t have a chip on her shoulder and she never gives up on striving for the kind of life she wants. š’—š’—š’—

I went into this without any real expectations having never seen her show, and I was pleasantly surprised. This book was much more intelligently written than I assumed it would be just based on the title. It was a thoughtful look at one woman‘s journey through health and weight struggles to feminism and self acceptance. Body positivity is important for everyone, and I love that she makes that point crystal clear.

This book is much more intelligent, and more serious than the title suggests.

I‘m starting this one now. I don‘t have very high expectations for this one, but I tend to like memoirs and it was $1.99 so... š¤·š¸»ā€¨ā™€ļø¸

LeeRHarry I watch My Big Fat Fabulous Life mainly because of my love for Babs, Whitney‘s Mum šš’• 7y

GypsyKat @LeeRHarry I‘ve never watched it. I‘ve seen maybe five minutes of the show a few years ago and that was it. But I‘ll often read memoirs of people I‘m not familiar with and end up loving them, so who knows? š™ 7y

So relatable. Just because you believe in acceptance doesn't mean it's always easy - or that you are ought to be positive one hundred percent of a time

He knew that if I lost weight, I would get my due. I wouldn't have to deal with asshole boyfriends and prying eyes and nasty judgements. I'd have my pick of men who deserved me. I could stop watching my old dance videos and actually perform the routines instead. I could live up to my potential.

Really enjoying this book so far. The author makes a very clear case that it is body image and the society's obsession with thinness, not body shape in itself, that negatively influences people. And now I must watch those Fat Girl Dancing videos, because, to my shame, I haven't seen them before #fatacceptance #fatpositive #bodypositive #feminism

This is where I am now. Growing up, everyone around me had extremely toxic self-images. I struggle to resist. So I have to give myself pep talks. I'm going to the beach next weekend with some family. They're worried about what to wear. I told them that this fat girl is wearing a bikini! Lol

"When will we stop insisting that inside a fat woman exists a thinner, better version of herself just trying to claw her way past the belly flab to get out?"

This book was amazing. Whitney is just as witty and wise in print as she is on tv. This book is a beautiful ode to body positivity.

Fuck. Yes. I've had this book for a little over 48 hours and I've read it twice now. It's an excellent resource for fat women (or any women) who aren't sure how to love their body.
