I read this book in one setting, and wasn't willing to put it down until I was finished. For the record, I have been thin half of my life and overweight half of my life - it doesn't matter which one I am today - but I can tell you from experience, people treat you different depending on what size you are. This fact is shameful!

For anyone who is familiar with Whitney Thore's television show, this book is a deeper insight into her life - before the show. She describes having to deal with body shame since pre-school age - even though she wasn't a "fat child". It broke my heart to hear the way other human beings treated her simply because they saw her different than themselves. No one should ever be made to feel "less than", as we are all - every single one of us, we are all "more than enough"!

Whitney is beautiful - inside and out, and I wish her all the best in life! (And, her family and friends are pretty amazing too!)
