Fat Girl's Guide to Life

Wendy Shanker is a fat girl who has simply had enough-enough of family, friends, co-workers, women's magazines, even strangers on the street all trying (and failing) to make her thin. With a mandate to change the world-and the humor and energy to do it-Wendy shows how media madness, corporate greed, and even the most well-intentioned loved ones can chip away at a woman's confidence. Written in Wendy's wonderfully funny and candid voice, The Fat Girl's Guide to Life provides thought-provoking insights, statistics, and body-image resources intended to restore a realistic standard of beauty to the 68 percent of American women who wear a size 12 or larger, inviting you to step off the scale and weigh the issues for yourself.Shanker, Wendy is the author of 'Fat Girl's Guide to Life', published 2005 under ISBN 9781582345536 and ISBN 1582345538.
