description: Dear person holding Fat Girl WalkingFirst of all thanks for picking up this copy of my first book. I hope you buy itand not just because each purchase gets me one step closer to buying the leather pants of my dreams.I hope you buy Fat Girl Walking because I want to start a conversation. Or continue a conversation one I inadvertently started a while ago when I took my clothes off on a stage in front of 700 people. A lot of people thought I was awesome for doing that. A lot of others thought a size 18 woman had absolutely no business showing off her body. Unfortunately for them I've made it my personal mission on my blog in social media on television and now in this amazing book you're holding to destroy the ridiculous myth that every woman who is overweight hates her body and herself. I Brittany Gibbons and the Curvy Girls I speak to every day on the internet beg to differ. We love our bodies. We love fashion. We are in loving relationships having lots of sex. We aren't just a fetish we're normal women. Sure sometimes we doubt ourselves we're not robots but not anymore than EVERY OTHER WOMAN ON THE PLANET. See Fat Girls aren't freaks of nature. We're just like you. Maybe we are you.Fat Girl Walking is a collection of stories from my life my thoughts about the issues that I have faced as a woman wife mom daughter daughter-in-law and internet personality in regards to my weight. I have tried to be as honest as I possibly couldapologies in advance to my husband and parents but hopefully any discomfort you feel is quickly replaced by laughter. The insecure texts to my husband and summer camp hijinks are hilarious if I do say so myself. And I also ask some tough questions things like What if my husband weighs less than I do? and Is my body hate ruining my daughter's life? Read Fat Girl Walking and let's start having these conversations. No pressure but we may just save all of womankind.LoveBrittany
