Telling yourself you won’t eat carbs until you get a date with Channing Tatum (hands off him, he’s mine). Or it could be a full-on restriction of calories in order to starve your body into supermodelness. I am here to tell you why I will never go on a diet again, because my friends…that shit is fucked.

Into a confident and courageous Fierce Fatty who loves her fat body unapologetically, is relaxed around food, a best-selling author, and TEDx speaker. I went from one extreme to the other, so if you want to change your relationship with your body and food, you SO can!
