Love Fat: An autobiography

I have been in some form of recovery from anorexia for the last 28 years. I found Tabitha in the last 6 years which for me were the first real attempt to go all in. I can’t tell you how much this book resonates with my own experience and encourages me to keep doing what I always knew in my heart was what I needed to be doing. This book is a laugh and cry out loud, honest, heartfelt account of the disease that has been so poorly understood for too long. An absolute must read.

This is very good insight into eating disorder patient world, & their self-absorbed habits that go on and on until admission to say I need professional help. On key pages, I made notes about what was was key to my loved one as she moved on to better health. Being safe to get help. Anorexia is very complicated. This book Is very realistic as Ms Farrar details her own account of coping with anorexia. Especially good for pyschiatrists and parents of eating disorder child. Don't give up to help her/him. Fight for him/her. Tell them .. "you are worth it". Depression & anxiety comes .. you are worth it. "I will see you through this".

Tabitha busts a lot of myths surround anorexia and offers perspective on her own journey from Illness to recovery. Her humor is amazing and writing style draws you in

I really enjoyed Tabitha's frank and witty account of her struggles with and victory over anorexia. Truly inspiring and highly recommended!

I enjoyed this memoir. The author's personality really shines through.

Such a brave telling of a story that so many of us can relate to. Wonderfully written..couldn't put it down. Grateful for the happy ending.

This really resonated with me. As someone recovering from anorexia, it made me feel that I was not alone and that there really is hope. It also helped me understand that being weight restored is key and any rules about eating are only holding me back.

One of the best recovery books I have read, and I have read many. Shows how this process is not easy and how Tabatha overcame the most difficult battle. She is a great writer and has a sense of humour. Such a refreshing read! Well done Tabatha, you are changing lives!

For anyone with an eating disorder, or for someone to simply try and understand the way people feel with an eating disorder, this honest and very informative autobiography does just that. It is very personal, yet the thoughts, behaviours and challenges make it relevant to many. I really felt comforted by the mindset of the author as it put into perspective all I was going through. As an adult developing Anorexia later on in life in particular, the struggles are a challenge in a different way to a teenager who has the disorder. I found it refreshing to read this account and learn from why we do actually need the fat in our bodies. While it is hard to commit, all of us having an eating disorder for different reasons, it makes it motivating and inspiring, written in such a simple, easy to follow, funny and honest way. The short chapters really help too. For many, reading can be something that isn't enjoyable during the illness, but I have found it uplifting and enjoyable. I took some of Tabitha's words and thoughts and used them to make me eat more fat. I'm doing it slowly now too. I would definitely recommend it!

Love Tabitha Farrar. Also reading her Rehabilitate, Rewire, Recover book. My partner has issues so this really helps me understand what it's like for her.Thanks Tabitha.x

Thank you for sharing your story. It has helped answer some questions that I have asked myself about people’s experiences of Anorexia. It has helped me think about people’s thoughts and emotions during their experience of an eating disorder, and individuality. You have amazing strength and persaverence.

Absolutely brillant book as are all of tabithas books, don't bother with some of the other useless 'ed' books out there, go straight to tabithas and her youtube channel

Fantastic true insight into the depths of an anorexic mind . This helped me to understand what my daughter has been going through and has given me hope that one day she can be free .
