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.
