Download or read book No Fat Chicks written by Terry Poulton and published by Secaucus, NJ : Carol Publishing Group. This book was released on 1997 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: - Three-quarters of the women in North America think they're fat, though only a third of them are- More than 11 million American girls and women are afflicted with anorexia or bulimia- The average weight of a fashion model, 8 percent below that of the average woman in 1967, has fallen to more than 25 percent below that of the average woman todayWhat is behind these disturbing statistics? Money. In this passionate, provocative book, journalist Terry Poulton explores exactly how big business glorifies emaciation -- and why women have become willing to pursue the mirage of the "perfect" body even at the cost of their lives.Poulton once became a women's magazine cover story by losing 65 pounds in six months, only to regain all the weight. The experience sent her into hiding . . . led her to have her stomach stapled and to embark on a liquid-protein diet that destroyed her gall bladder . . . and finally ended in the realization, compellingly documented in this book, that her lifelong battle with fat -- and with the crippling self-hatred and self-denial that stayed with her even in her "thin periods" -- was fostered by a $50-billion industry devoted to the proposition that a woman is worthless unless she's thin.In No Fat Chicks Poulton traces the evolution of antifat ideology and of the businesses that profit from it, and explains how the health-care and fashion industries, among others, have become complicit in promulgating an image of the ideal body, that's impossible for 95 percent of women to achieve. She shows how the mass media's vicious vilification of "fat chicks" guarantees that women will frantically keep spending money on products that promise escape from the stigma.She demonstrates how the cultural pressure to be thin can constrain a woman's life --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one ever said high school was easy. In this hilarious and heartwarming debut, one high school senior has to ask himself how much he's willing to give up in order to fit in. Kevin seems to have it all: he's popular, good looking, and on his way to scoring a college hockey scholarship. However, he's keeping two big secrets. The first is that he failed an assignment and is now forced to take the most embarrassing course ever--domestic tech. The second is that he is falling for his domestic tech classmate, Claire. As far as Kevin is concerned, Claire does have it all: she's funny, smart, beautiful, and confident. But she's off-limits. Because Kevin knows what happens when someone in his group dares to date a girl who isn't a cheerleader, and there's no way he is going to put himself—or Claire—through that. But steering clear of the girl of his dreams is a lot harder than Kevin thought…especially when a cooking project they are paired together for provides the perfect opportunity for things to heat up between them outside the classroom….

As you watch Lizzie navigate fraught relationships—with food, men, girlfriends, her parents and even with herself—you’ll want to grab a friend and say: ‘Whoa. This. Exactly.’” —Washington Post Growing up in the suburban hell of Misery Saga (a.k.a. Mississauga), Lizzie has never liked the way she looks—even though her best friend Mel says she’s the pretty one. She starts dating guys online, but she’s afraid to send pictures, even when her skinny friend China does her makeup: she knows no one would want her if they could really see her. So she starts to lose. With punishing drive, she counts almonds consumed, miles logged, pounds dropped. She fights her way into coveted dresses. She grows up and gets thin, navigating double-edged validation from her mother, her friends, her husband, her reflection in the mirror. But no matter how much she loses, will she ever see herself as anything other than a fat girl? In her brilliant, hilarious, and at times shocking debut, Mona Awad skewers the body image-obsessed culture that tells women they have no value outside their physical appearance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vibrant, vivacious and gorgeous, Wendy Shanker is a fat girl who has simply had enough - enough of family, friends, co-workers, women's magazines, even strangers on the street all trying (and failing) to make her thin. With her mandate to change the world - and the humour and energy to do it - Wendy shows how media madness, corporate greed and even the most well-intentioned loved ones can chip away at a woman's confidence. She invites people of all sizes, shapes and dissatisfactions to trade self-loathing for self-tolerance, celebrity worship for reality reverence, and a carb-free life for a guilt-free Krispy Kreme. Wendy explores dieting debacles, full-figured fashions and feminist philosophy while guiding you through exercise clubs, doctors' offices, shopping malls and the bedroom. In the process, she will convince you that you can be fit and fat, even as the weight loss industry conspires to make you think otherwise. The Fat Girl's Guide to Life invites you to step off the scales and weigh the issues for yourself.
