"In Big Fit Girl, Louise Green describes how the fitness industry fails to meet the needs of plus-size women and thus prevents them from improving their health and fitness. By telling her own story of how she stopped dieting, got off the couch, and unleashed her inner athlete-as well as showcasing similar stories from other women-Green inspires other plus-size women to do the same. She also provides concrete advice about how to get started, how to establish a support team, how to choose an activity, how to set goals, what kind of clothing and gear work best for the plus-size athlete, and how to improve one's relationship with food."--

Okay - it's not my favourite fat fitness book out there. Louise Green has a fairly white-middle-class-professional-vancouverite experience, and is more endurance focused. But it's nice that there is enough representation out there that I can point to 2-3 things I like better without straining too hard. (aside: I find it kinda weird that my roommate saw that I was reading this book and was all “y u reading that? ur not big!” half the magic of reading is reading outside your experience yo, and as a female bodied person most of this is still pretty relevant)
