You Don'T Want To Lose Your Girlish Figure: A Struggle With Childhood Obesity - 9781543471946

The book gives a real-life example of how people view a person who is overweight, especially women, when they expect you to look a certain way for your age and gender. Being female in American culture puts a lot of pressure on girls and adult women to present themselves physically as slim and attractive. In my case, I present my childhood experience of obesity and how it impacted my life and what women around thought about my physical appearance as a way to inform and help people become knowledgeable about the stigma people put on obesity.
