‘Perfect, kind, hilarious and persuasive’ Lena Dunham ‘You need this book. Your mum needs this book. Your best friend needs this book. Everyone needs a dose of Happy Fat!’ Julie Mu rphy ‘I am a fat person and I love my body. I feel lucky to be able to say that – it has taken a lot of work and a lot of time. I want to tell you what I have learned and how I got here.’ In Happy Fat, comedian Sofie Hagen shares how she removed fatphobic influences from her daily life and found self-acceptance in a world where judgement and discrimination are rife.From shame and sex to airplane seats, love and getting stuck in public toilets, Sofie provides practical tips for readers – drawing wisdom from other Fat Liberation champions along the way.Part memoir, part social commentary, Happy Fat is a funny, angry and impassioned look at how taking up space in a culture that is desperate to reduce you can be radical, emboldening and life-changing.Sofie Hagen's Happy Fat is a unique blend of autobiography, self-help, and entertainment. Her personal journey towards mental growth and happiness is both inspiring and humorous, making this book a top choice for anyone seeking self-acceptance.For fans of Laura Bates (Fix the System, Not the Women), Jes Baker (Landwhale), Sabrina Strings (Fearing the Black Body), Lindy West (Shrill), and Laura Thomas (How to Just Eat It).
