This is a deeply personal exploration of life in a body that society constantly scrutinises. Written to challenge the silence, shame, and stereotypes that surround fatness, this book offers an unfiltered account of what it’s like to navigate a world that often sees size before personhood.
The decision to write it came from years of feeling erased, judged, and expected to apologise for existing. This is not a guide or a transformation story—it’s a truth-telling. A way to reclaim language, space, and voice.
It’s for anyone who has felt unseen, uncomfortable in their own skin, or pressured to shrink themselves to fit in. The hope is that it offers recognition, solidarity, and maybe even a little relief in knowing you’re not alone.
As I was planning a career transition, I wrote this book to share my personal journey through counselling training, a transformative experience that deeply impacted my life.
When I began my training, I realised few resources truly captured this process's emotional and practical realities. I wanted to offer a candid account of what it was like for me to embark on this path—both the challenges and the profound growth that comes with it.
I hope that this book serves as a companion for those considering or currently undergoing counselling training, providing insight, support, and encouragement along the way.
Do you find yourself resonating with the feelings of being unfilled, yearning for change, or stuck in a cycle of weight loss and weight gain?
If these emotions speak to you, it might be the right time to explore counselling—not only as a way to navigate your journey but also to gain clarity and support in pursuing a path that truly aligns with your passions and purpose.
