Pickpick

This book is a great look at all sorts of issues from body image, to intimate partner abuse, the Princess lie, the invisibility of black women, “fat” people with eating disorders, and even sex. It was funny and lighthearted, but didn‘t hold any punches when it came to these heavy topics. It was refreshingly real and honest (even about the downsides of a vegan diet). 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics She covered food deserts and the shockingly low standards of American food. She talked about double standards for women and how those double standards are more like triple standards for black women. She even got into show business and plastic surgery. This woman knows what she‘s talking about, but doesn‘t rub your face in it. Her tone is exactly what you want for such serious topics all together. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 (edited) 4y
GingerAntics I seriously hope I can see her stand up the next time she can actually do gigs. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 4y
GingerAntics My only real complaint is that after all the self love, body positivity, she talked about how she‘s found her equilibrium on the scale and in life, summing it up with “I‘m not gross. I‘m not perfect either.” So suddenly fat is “gross” and skinny is “perfect.” 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 4y
GingerAntics Maybe I misunderstood, but this seems to throw body positivity, self love, and self acceptance (the messages of this book) right out of the window. Still totally worth the read, but avoid that bit. #ChloeHilliard #FckYourDiet #audiobook (edited) 4y

Here, she was talking about how her weight has fluctuated (sometimes to extremes) throughout her life, but how she‘s found an equilibrium. So skinny is “perfect” and fat is “gross”?! So much for body positivity.
This is the one and only thing I didn‘t love about this book.

Oh my god, this message needs to be front and center of EVERYTHING!!! It‘s not perfect. It can be better. It should be better.

She‘s got a point here. We take their land (some just taken, some paid for), then we screw them over in trade, then we vilify them for being forced to look elsewhere for liveable conditions.

She was refreshingly honest (in a humorous way) about the down sides of a vegan diet.

She was really honest about her eating disorder. It was nice to hear from someone else with an eating disorder that wasn‘t so skinny it was obvious. For some reason, people don‘t think disordered eating (or lack of eating) is a problem if you‘re still fat, even if you do feint.

Lightening things up a bit before bed, because who doesn‘t want a popcorn bra with a cookie?!

GingerAntics @Branwen right? Probably not very supportive, but convenient for binge watching a good show. 🤣😂🤣 4y
