#45 Hunger by Roxane Gay

Quote
From the bestselling author of Bad Feminist: a searingly honest memoir of food, weight, self-image, and learning how to feed your hunger while taking care of yourself

It took a lot of guts for her to write this story, to expose her inner self to the world. The author went through a terribly traumatic experience at age 12 and still seems to be working things out.

I was a little annoyed that the writer contradicted herself a lot. She'd comment on how she didn't like people judging her for being overweight yet in the next paragraph make snide comments about thin girls at the gym. She hated that her doctors wanted her to lose weight and then she'd devote an entire chapter to her physical problems caused by excess weight.
