Welcome to Litsy!

This could be slow at times, and it could be hard at times to hear how obsessed the author was with weight for most of her life. Overall though I enjoyed this book and the little fact snippets throughout. Do you mind if I wait to send this to you @Hooked_on_books until I finish another book I need to mail? I'm pregnant and trying to limit my trips out. @Wife @BookishBelle #lmpbc

@BookishBelle @Hooked_on_books @Shadowfat @suvata I really enjoyed this book about the author‘s struggles with body image. The difference here is that she does research on the topic for her job as a health and fitness writer. Many interesting footnotes about the history of dieting and body image. My takeaway: Don‘t diet. Just eat healthy foods when you have hunger. The “standards” for weight are unrealistic. Period. 3/5👙s Mailing to you Molly🌹

I am so dreadfully behind in posting my reviews. Life comes at you fast sometimes. I read this awhile ago and thought it was alright. Maybe just not my cuppa tea? I can appreciate it as something I wouldn‘t have chosen to read and therefore, something that has broadened my horizons. Anyway, to my #lmpbc ladies, this is headed to @Wife this afternoon. I‘m so sorry it‘s so late! @Hooked_on_books @Shadowfat

Kim Miller has not only dieted her entire life but worked as a writer for diet and fitness articles. In her memoir, she blends her own story with diet research and good humor. It‘s a good exploration of body dysmorphia/poor self-confidence without ever using those terms. Hopefully the rest of the group enjoys it as well. #LMPBC #memoir

This is one of the three books I am reading and it is speaking to my heart. As a serial dieter I am loving the history she is giving behind diets all while talking of her personal experience! #beautifulbodies

I managed to read twelve books this month. The one not pictured is Beautiful Bodies which was on my kindle. February was a little library heavy, but I still read seven of my own books.

Interesting read. I enjoyed the research aspect of this book and the way she mixed in her personal stories in between. Every body is a good body at the end of the day!

I really enjoyed this memoir relating to the author‘s history of poor body image, a lifetime of dieting, and finding peace in her body. I‘ve followed Kim‘s writing since her Elastic Waist days, and her first memoir, Coming Clean, is unforgettable.

I‘d recommend this book to anyone who liked Courtney Martin‘s “Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters” and vice versa.

This the author and her little family. This book!! It was like reading my own life story, with all the tears and laughter, mostly tears. Well done, Ms Miller👏🏻. I recently read her other novel Coming Clean. 💕

Another honest and super readable memoir from Kimberly Rae Miller (hope she keeps writing them!). This one tackles body image, diet obsession, and identity. Not quite a deep dive into their sociocultural underpinnings, but interesting connections to historical and biological data. Like her previous memoir, Coming Clean, this was well-written, funny, and makes a valuable contribution to the larger discourse on these topics.

Intrigued by this one...

Beautiful story of one woman's journey towards health and loving herself. Loved the balance between historical ideals of body image and the memoir tone as the author tells her own story. #NetGalley find - I think this one is out in July.
