The Book of Body Positivity

Have you ever been bullied for being overweight? The reality of being a plus-sized person isn't that every moment of your life is about being plus-sized-it's that you're trying to live the same kind of complicated, exciting, fun, beautiful and difficult life as everyone else. The only problem is that at every turn, society says 'you should apologize for just living in your body'. This antagonistic messaging is pervasive across our media and culture, in ways that are both subtle and blatantly, cruelly overt. As obesity rates skyrocket, so does the shaming of those affected by it.
