description: Growing up as a fat girl Virgie Tovar believed that her body was something to be fixed. But after two decades of dieting and constant guilt she was over itand gave herself the freedom to trust her own body again. Ever since shes been helping others to do the same. Tovar is hungry for a world where bodies are valued equally food is free from moral judgment and you can jiggle through life with respect. In concise and candid language she delves into unlearning fatphobia dismantling sexist notions of fashion and how to reject diet cultures greatest lie: that fat people need to wait before beginning their best lives.
