About

Life is complicated and being a fat woman can make it even more complicated. Fat Girls' Guide is a collection of hard-won woman's wisdom from two fat women, Colva Weissenstein and Rebecca Hiles. This project seeks to shine a light on the intricacies of life as a fat woman, and provide relatable, life-tested advice and information on how to navigate the questions, struggles, and difficulties revealed - from the micro to the macro, the personal and the political, the intimate and the institutional. Tackling issues such as navigating healthcare, motherhood, love, sex, loving, caring, and advocating for yourself and women like you, Fat Girls' Guide presents a real, honest, and dynamic look into fat women's lived experience.
