Fat isn't the problem. Dieting is the problem. A society that rejects anyone whose body shape or size doesn’t match an impossible ideal is the problem. A medical establishment that equates "thin" with "healthy" is the problem. Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight by Linda Bacon, PhD, presents a well-researched, healthy-living manual that debunks the weight myths and translates the latest science into practical advice to help readers forever end their battle with weight.

I have been learning about Health at Every Size and the Fat Acceptance movement and am thus trying to read it's canon of literature. The basic idea is that dieting and self-loathing are equally bad for you and one can take better care of oneself by eating and exercising in ways that feel good. This book and others like it are making me more of a feminist and more compassionate to the bodies of others and to my own body.

This is definitely a book I will credit to spurring me further in my body acceptance journey. It'll be very hard, due to the many misconceptions about weight which this book debunks, but I think this was a book I needed to read at this point in my life. The way it was written, in a compassionate and understanding tone, was also excellent in allowing me to take its message without hating myself for being swayed by damaging weight loss campaigns I've been exposed to throughout my life. I know now that I am fine the way I weigh at this moment and will focus on intuitive eating as this book suggests. I definitely recommend this book to people struggling to accept their fat bodies.
