Fat!So?

A SizeWise.com Book Recommendation

What can you say about Marilyn Wann and her in-your-face, hilarious, insightful book Fat!So? except for the fact that it is "flabulous!" Marilyn is just one of those people you can't hold back. Without even seeing a photo of her, you know that this woman has bright pink hair and a smile that doesn't quit. Her book is a healthy dose of activism presented with such warmth and humor that you will find yourself coming back to it over and over again.

"Fear of fat does nothing for you except get in your way. I know from experience. Being afraid of fat won't impress a date or advance your career or balance your bank account or cure depression. I guarantee that worrying about your weight won't make you look better in your clothes or out of them. Fear of fat is like a cloud over your head. It's not attractive. Ask yourself, what has body anxiety done for me lately? Nothing good, right? So why not get rid of it???"

Based on Marilyn's 'zine of the same name, Fat!So? includes several of the same features. Anatomy Lessons is a series of photos of body parts (butt, belly, chin, and upper arm) as they appear in real life - not on Kate Moss. You'll love the paper dolls, Aunt Agony's advice column, the Gab Cafe success stories, and a wonderful collection of fat facts articles.

Do yourself a big favor. Grab a copy of Fat!So? for yourself and a couple more for friends. If your local bookstore doesn't have a copy, ask them to order it for you. Or, if you like, have it delivered to your door by ordering it through Size Wise and our Amazon.com affiliation by clicking here.
