F*ck Your Diet: And Other Things My Thighs Tell Me Audiobook (Free)

Followers of Issa Rae and Phoebe Robinson will love this collection of laugh-out-loud crazy and insightful essays that explore race, feminism, pop tradition, and how culture reinforces the message that people are nothing at all without the perfect body.

By the time Chloé Hilliard was 12, she wore a size 12—both footwear and dress—and stood over six feet tall. Fitting in was hardly ever an option. That didn’t stop her from trying. Cursed having a “slow metabolism,” “baby fat,” and “big bones,”—the extra fat trilogy—Chloe turned to fad diets, starvation, pills, and workout routines, all of which failed.

Realizing that everything—from government policies to corporate capitalism—directly influences our relationship with food and our waistlines, Chloé transformed her outlook on herself and desires others can do the same for themselves.

The perfect mixture of cultural commentary, conspiracies, and confessions, F*ck Your Diet pokes fun on the all too familiar, misguided search for better health, permanent weight reduction, and a sense of self-worth.
