Full of Myself: A Graphic Memoir about Body Image
Full of Myself: A Graphic Memoir about Body Image | Siobhan Gallagher
2 posts | 2 read
Author and illustrator Siobhán Gallagher's humorous and heartfelt graphic memoir details her journey from being anxious and unhappy to learning to love herself as she is. "I'm proud of the person I've become because I fought to become her." At the age of 30, Siobhán Gallagher looks back on her teenage years struggling with anxiety and diet culture, desperate to become a beautiful, savvy, and slim adult. As an actual adult, she realizes she hasn't turned out the way she'd imagined, but through the hard work of self-reflection--cut with plenty of humor--Gallagher brings readers along on her journey to self-acceptance and self-love. Through witty comics and striking illustrations, Full of Myself is a highly relatable story of the awkward, imperfect, and hilariously honest teenage best friend readers will wish they had had--and the awkward, imperfect, and hilariously honest woman she becomes.

A sometimes painful memoir of obsession and self-harm, made bearable through whimsy, humor and eventual self-knowledge. Unlike a lot of the graphica I'm seeing lately, the author/artist really makes use of the format to make her simple words instantly relatable.

I particularly enjoyed her layouts of fashion styles for different periods of her life. (From which I learned that my personal style seems to be stuck in 2000-2003.)
