A hilarious memoir in essays about love, sex, marriage, motherhood, bikinis, and loving your body from the acclaimed blogger and body image advocate.Brittany Gibbons has been a plus size her whole life. But instead of hiding herself in the shadows of thinner women, Brittany became a wildly popular blogger and national spokesmodel—known for stripping on stage at TedX and standing in Times Square in a bikini on national television, and making skinny people everywhere uncomfortable.Talking honestly about size and body image on her popular blog, brittanyherself.com, she has ignited a national conversation. Now in her first book, she shares hilarious and painfully true stories about her life as a weird overweight girl growing up in rural Ohio, struggling with dating and relationships, giving the middle finger to dieting, finding love with a man smaller than her, accidentally having three kids, and figuring out the secret to loving her curves and becoming a nationally recognized body image advocate. And there''s sex, lots of it!Fat Girl Walking isn''t a diet book. It isn''t one of those former fat people memoirs about how someone battled, and won, in the fight against fat. Brittany doesn''t lose all the weight and reveal the happy, skinny girl that''s been hiding inside her. Instead, she reminds us that being chubby doesn''t mean you''ll end up alone, unhappy, or the subject of a cable medical show. What''s important is learning to love your shape. With her infectious humor and soul-baring honesty, Fat Girl Walking reveals a life full of the same heartbreak, joy, oddity, awkwardness, and wonder as anyone else''s. Just with better snacks. - Häftad, Engelska, 2017

The New York Times-bestselling author of Fat Girl Walking delivers a sartorial follow-up that once again deep dives into the world of the curvy woman.As body acceptance spokesmodel and blogger Brittany Gibbons knows, what we choose to wear is especially important, and especially emotional, for curvy women. This isn''t only because curvy women feel underrepresented and underserved by the fashion world. For the curvy woman who struggles with feelings of self-worth and a lack of confidence the feeling of "why bother" can come crashing in. You can''t help but think "wouldn''t leggings and a slouchy sweater just be easier?" Especially when we, like every other woman on the planet, are facing greater, real-life obstacles like raising kids, attending college, keeping your marriage together, paying bills, and a myriad of other daily struggles.Everyone has those days where they hate their body, they hate their clothes, but self-confidence and strength can come from a great outfit. Brittany is determined to help women, curvy and otherwise, embrace fashion and all the bumps and lumps that come with it. An "overdue love letter" to her body, Brittany delves into the hilarity and the humility of her quest to find her own personal style—to break out of a rut of maternity underwear and men''s undershirts once and for all. From wardrobe malfunctions, to fashion advice, to mom bodies and the perfect pose, The Clothes Make the Girl (Look Fat)? is the empowered battle cry all women deserve."In her second book, body-acceptance advocate Brittany Gibbons is all for looking like a knockout while fighting the good fight." —Shelf Awareness
