  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;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. Written in Wendy's wonderfully funny and candid voice, The Fat Girl's Guide to Life provides thought-provoking insights, statistics, and body-image resources intended to restore a realistic standard of beauty and self-acceptance to the 68 percent of American women who wear a size 12 or larger. The Fat Girl's Guide to Life invites you to step off the scale and weigh the issues for yourself.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was given to me by one of my best friends. I just like this book because it helps you to feel a little more comfortable in your skin while having a good sense of humor. I have read it more than once and do so whenever I'm having &quot;body image issues&quot;. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Wendy Shanker is not only an amazing author but also a good friend, so I may be a bit biased.  However I read this before I met her and was so inspired by it - it totally makes you think about body image issues in a new way, and laugh while you do it ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A fabulously funny, yet brutally honest book from a Fat Girl to fat girls everywhere.  Littered with factoids and statistics, personal stories and anecdotes, I simply couldn't put it down.  She's easy to relate to and it was refreshingly non-fiction.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ms. Shanker is an intelligent, witty writer.  This was a great book about loving yourself despite your weight (no matter if you are thin, average, or overweight).  Terrific read.  (Just an FYI: she occasionally uses crude language.)]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[As much as I agree with a lot of what she says, Wendy Shanker tends to first debunk all health and obesity statistics, and then use those same statistics to support her arguments... still, she's mostly right.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Really interesting book about living the life as a &quot;fluffy&quot; girl.  Some parts were kind of slow, but overall it was written in a witty style.  I especially love the ending.  It makes the whole book worth the read.]]></body>
