Description

The Real Me is Thin by Arabella Weir is a humorous and candid memoir that recounts her complex relationship with food and eating disorders. Growing up, Arabella was subjected to a restrictive diet and struggled with feelings of guilt and shame around food.

With startling frankness, Arabella unravels the story of how her neurotic relationship with food affected her childhood and adolescence, including battles over meals and the social embarrassment of being marked as different due to her weight. This memoir offers a vivid portrayal of a childhood marred by the stigma of obesity.

Partly humorous, partly heartbreaking, The Real Me is Thin is a thought-provoking exploration of our attitudes towards eating disorders and obesity, and the impact this can have on individuals and families.
