Two Whole Cakes: How to Stop Dieting and Learn to Love Your Body, by Lesley Kinzel
Two Whole Cakes is a book about weight and NOT dieting. Lesley Kinzel, who co-founded the blog Fatshionista, is an online celebrity in the communities of size acceptance, fashion, and women’s issues.
Kinzel makes no apologies for her size or attitude. She goes by a code of living life to the fullest, and having "two whole cakes" if she feels like it: Feminist, loud and proud-- and unsparingly witty as well.
Kinzel tells stories and gives advice on fashion, weight-loss drugs, self-love, eating disorders, how dieting affected her health, and her resulting gallstones.
I could relate to her story of shopping at the mall and feeling judged by other consumers— her experience with a group of humilating high school girls was all too excruciating! Anybody who's ever had a crappy day in the dressing room can relate to Kinzel's manifesto.
Narrated by the fabulously militant Heather Henderson.
