YOU JUST NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT - AUBREY GORDON TA...

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER  AN INDIE BESTSELLER    “One of the great thinkers of our
generation . . . I feel fresher and smarter and happier for sitting down with her.”—Jameela
Jamil  iWeigh Podcast  The co-host of the Maintenance Phase podcast and creator of Your Fat
Friend equips you with the facts to debunk common anti-fat myths and with tools to take action
for fat justice   The pushback that shows up in conversations about fat justice takes
exceedingly predicable form. Losing weight is easy—calories in  calories out. Fat people are
unhealthy. We’re in the midst of an obesity epidemic. Fat acceptance “glorifies obesity.” The
BMI is an objective measure of size and health. Yet  these myths are as readily debunked as
they are pervasive.  In “You Just Need to Lose Weight ” Aubrey Gordon equips readers with the
facts and figures to reframe myths about fatness in order to dismantle the anti-fat bias
ingrained in how we think about and treat fat people. Bringing her dozen years of community
organizing and training to bear  Gordon shares the rhetorical approaches she and other
organizers employ to not only counter these pernicious myths  but to dismantle the anti-fat
bias that so often underpin them.  As conversations about fat acceptance and fat justice
continue to grow  “You Just Need to Lose Weight” will be essential to ensure that those
conversations are informed  effective  and grounded in both research and history.
