## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A Very nice collection
  

*by T***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 2, 2013*

When I began reading the introduction I was ready to put this book down and write off the money as wasted because I feared it was a book about well bashing skinny people and saying only fat women are real women. I was just sitting there waiting for someone to mention how big Marilyn Monroe's pant size completely disregarding the fact that to make women feel better retail companies have been making what counts as a size 12 larger and larger. As I made my way through the stories however they were touching and wonderful stories about not putting off your life for that goal weight to roll around and just do it now while you still can. Which I do find empowering, but for some reason it is a book you have to be in the write mood to read. The stories were varied and told the truth about how they came to acceptance with themselves and that they aren't 100% happy all the time. Reading this book gave me something to think about, while I'm not morbidly obese I am a chubby petite girl with a relatively high muscle mass. It made me think that I really should stop putting off my life for my "goal weight" and I should start doing things that I have been putting off. I may not run out and buy a bikini and go sit out on the beach, I won't my body issues are run deep and they are powerful, but I will give myself permission to have fun, and to eat in public without shame that other people are judging what is going into my mouth.

    It gave me The Feels
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 31, 2016*

I'm a fat woman who is comfortable with my size, but books like these are still important reading. Two stories in particular stuck out to me, "Shiny, Sparkly Things" by Erin Kilpatrick, which documents her survival in a car accident and how she began burlesque, and "On Dressing Up: A Story of Fatshion Resistance" by Kirsty Fife. The latter story resonated with me because I had some similar experiences with seeing real clothes on fat bodies and what a revelation it was, and what it felt like to wear things that I liked even though they didn't look "flattering" on me. It looks very simplistic to someone who hasn't been in my situation, but it was mindblowing at the time.I'm not a sentimental, touchy-feely, let's-all-hug type of person, but this book really did inspire a lot of feelings while I was reading it. Body acceptance is a journey and not necessarily an achievable end goal. Five stars, will read again because I still need reminders that my body is beautiful.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Some great insights, some mixed messages
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 2, 2013*

Hot & Heavy: Fierce Fat Girls on Life, Love & Fashion by Virgie Tovar was an interesting book. The essays, done by various authors, speak on topics that are influenced by our body image, and that means areas such as sex, fashion, human relations and self esteem. Some of the authors of the book provided "ah-ha" moments and, "yes, that is exactly how it is" moments. Other authors confused me or just came across as angry. Angry I understand because, if you have ever been overweight, then you have probably been mistreated by someone, or a host of someones. However, when anger seems to play out in what sounds like revenge sex or self abuse, then I have to question how far that person has come. Promiscuity, even with protection built to military specifications, is still risky behavior, and I would think that when you love yourself, you would want to protect yourself? I am also aware that I may not be the target audience for this book;I am probably too old or/and too conservative. I do want to say that I enjoyed some of the essays and parts of other very much. I just am hesitant to give a rousing thumbs up to a book that seems to send out mixed signals about self love.
