But after two decades of dieting and constant guilt, she was over it—andgave herself the freedom to trust her own body again. Ever since, she’s been helpingothers to do the same.Tovar is hungry for a world where bodies are valued equally, food is free frommoral judgment, and you can jiggle through life with respect. In concise and candidlanguage, she delves into unlearning fatphobia, dismantling sexist notions offashion, and how to reject diet culture’s greatest lie: that fat people need to waitbefore beginning their best lives.
