Pound Cake



Read My Hips: How I Learned to Love My Body, Ditch Dieting and Live Large
Kim Brittingham
Memoir

Don’t get all excited (or annoyed) thinking this is a diet book. It’s not. It’s just a memoir of a woman who is sick of all the mixed messages and judgements our society hands down about overweight people.

Ms. Brittingham grew up obsessing about her weight, like a lot of women. She tried all sorts of diets and crazy ways to lose the pounds. It was only when she reached full adulthood that she finally realized it was time to let go and be happy with who she is. So she started a blog and suddenly became a semi-celebrity, then wrote this book. The best part of Read My Hips are her comments on how we treat overweight people, women especially. It’s pretty sad.

If you’ve ever had weight issues at all, you’ll like this book.
