I will endlessly support women lending their personal hardships and putting themselves in the public firing line to enhance and widen the world for others. Much like the original suffragette crusaders we still need voices to speak up like Lindy’s to break down prejudices especially those with weight issues to not be ignored and like it or lump it fat people exist and aren’t here to cause you personal grief. Believe it or not they are human people and should be treated with respect and dignity like everyone else is afforded.

This is an emotionally charged read in fact it’s a travesty to hear the amount of ire and anger, and not just hate spew but out and out threats of violence Lindy receives daily simply by being an outspoken unapologetic fat person in the public eye and the worse crime of all she has an OPINION. Wow!

To read this book and realise I had some of my own deep seated prejudices was confronting, I’ve awkwardly laughed at rape jokes because you know comedy, believing they are meant to be “funny� they are not, but also I was so humbled by the story that I will endeavour to make amends for past judgements and indiscretions, when a book challenges your stance and makes you accountable for your own unhealthy thinking or behaviour then I think this is a such a valuable and important book. Everyone can learn something from this.
