From celebrated author and illustrator Debbie Tung comes My Perfectly Imperfect Body a frank
honest and deeply vulnerable graphic memoir that chronicles the author's journey of overcoming
body-image struggles throughout her youth and young adult years. Debbie Tung has a simple and
gentle message: your body is worthy of being treated with kindness and love at any size.
Illustrated in her unique personal style Tung shares the experiences of her teenage years and
how growing into a mature body combined with teenage angst vulnerability and the pressure on
girls to be thin and pretty spiraled her into disordered eating. She became obsessed with
exercising and dieting but no matter how much weight she lost it was never enough. She spent
the next few years trying to heal her eating habits learning about self-love and finally
making peace with her body. My Perfectly Imperfect Body is her story and one she shares with
many survivors of a thin-obsessed media. She hopes her gentle comics provide a safe space to
rest on whichever healing journey you find yourself on as you read.
