The F*ck It Diet

Marcy Pursell 

A friend recommended this book, and when I first started reading it, I really liked it and connected with it. I've been plus size my whole life and have and will likely always struggle with my weight, self-esteem and societal standards regarding weight. Before I finished the book, I forgot to renew my library hold before it expired, so had to put another hold on the book and had to wait a few weeks before getting it back. For some reason, I wasn't as into the book when I got it the second time to finish reading. It's taken me several months to finish in it's entirety and if I'm honest, I didn't do the exercises recommended in the book. Overall, I thought it was good and had an interesting take, but I lost interest in the latter half of the book.

“The F*ck It Diet is not only hilarious, it is scientifically and medically sound. A must read for any chronic dieter.” –Christiane Northrup, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom” From comedian and ex-diet junkie Caroline Dooner, an inspirational guide that will help you stop dieting, reboot your relationship with food, and regain your personal power DIETING DOESN’T WORK Not long term. In fact, our bodies are hardwired against it. But each time our diets fail, instead of considering that maybe our ridiculously low-carb diet is the problem, we wonder what’s wrong with us. Why can’t we stick to our simple plan of grapefruit and tuna fish??? Why are we so hungry? What is wrong with us??? We berate ourselves for being lazy and weak, double down on our belief that losing weight is the key to our everlasting happiness, and resolve to do better tomorrow. But it’s time we called a spade a spade: Constantly trying to eat the smallest amount possible is a miserable way to live, and it isn’t even working. So fuck eating like that. In The F*ck It Diet, Caroline Dooner tackles the inherent flaws of dieting and diet culture, and offers readers a counterintuitively simple path to healing their physical, emotional, and mental relationship with food. What’s the secret anti-diet? Eat. Whatever you want. Honor your appetite and listen to your hunger. Trust that your body knows what it is doing. Oh, and don’t forget to rest, breathe, and be kind to yourself while you’re at it. Once you get yourself out of survival mode, it will become easier and easier to eat what your body really needs—a healthier relationship with food ultimately leads to a healthier you. An ex-yo-yo dieter herself, Dooner knows how terrifying it can be to break free of the vicious cycle, but with her signature sharp humor and compassion, she shows readers that a sustainable, easy relationship with food is possible. Irreverent and empowering, The F*ck It Diet is call to arms for anyone who feels guilt or pain over food, weight, or their body. It’s time to give up the shame and start thriving. Welcome to the F*ck It Diet. Let’s Eat.

Eating Should Be Easy

Lyric Hooey

While I was not raised by a parent who prescribed to diet culture, I was able to witness many family members and friends who have been affected by it. Also in today's society, it's almost impossible to escape the critical thoughts that come alongside comparison and self-sabotage. This book was a really good read even when certain sections did not apply to me. I admittedly did not do the journal prompts but would be interested in reading this again and taking more time to actually work through it all!

yeah— so I got to listen to the audiobook with the author reading it and man, that was an excellent experience! Lots of solid advice in this too, stuff you think “yeah, that makes sense” but it’s real nice to hear it so put together and with a “fuck it” attitude😎

I wish absolutely everyone would read this book. It’s such a digestible way to discover HAES and is chock-full of incredible insight and advice.
