Mini Audiobook Review:
**I will not be rating Non Fiction books as it is based on real events and real experiences.**

"Fat hasn't become a bad word because fatness is somehow inherently undesirable but because of what we attach to it. We take "fat" to mean unlovable, unwanted, unattractive, unintelligent, unhealthy. But fatness iself is simply one aspect of our bodies - and a very small part of who each of us is."

As someone who has always had a larger body and has had a rollercoaster ride of how I feel about my body, this book was a hard book for me to listen/read to.

I ended up feeling even worse about myself & just was a reminder of the discrimination that those of a larger body go through.

I do not think Gordon had that intention while writing as I think it just hit me differently because I understood all the points she was making and at one point in my life felt what she was describing.

I am glad that I read this & want to go back and eventually read What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat. I just don't think I am in the right mind space to consume the information presented. Perhaps when I am in a good spot with my relationship to my body I will. 

I have a book club discussion coming up in June on this and I'm very anxious to hear what is discussed during the meeting. 

The myths that stood out for me the most & that I feel everyone should read were towards the end:
Myth 14 - "I don't like gaining weight but I don't treat fat people differently." 
Myth 15 - "Fat people shouldn't call themselves fat"
Myth 16 - "People who have never been fat have internalized fatphobia"
Myth 17 - "No one is attracted to fat people. Anyone who is has a 'Fat Fetish'"
