This quote resonated with me so hard. When I got diagnosed with an iron deficiency and gestational diabetes (and later severe preeclampsia) while pregnant, I was so upset and hurt. It took me a while to understand why: I had been so proud of my pregnancy bc it finally showed me that my body could do something RIGHT. These physical problems put me right back at feeling inadequate, like my body was always doomed to be less than others'.

I found this book so damn relatable it hurt. Jes is one of the people at the forefront of body positivity online,and this book contains a lot about how being fat shaped her identity and the way she interacts with the world all of her life. She makes so many good points, but there's also a lot of humor intermingled with the seriousness. Definitely recommend
