Today is International No Diet Day, and by a happy coincidence, Lessons from the Fat-o-Sphere: Quit Dieting and Declare a Truce with Your Body is currently the #2 bestseller on Powells.com. First, we want to offer UNBELIEVABLY HUGE THANKS to everyone who’s already bought it. But to everyone who hasn’t — how awesome would it be if we could get the book up to #1 in celebration of International No Diet Day? If you were planning to buy it anyway, please consider ordering it from Powell’s today!

Hey, we wrote a book! It comes out on May 4 in Australia and New Zealand, under the title Screw Inner Beauty and on May 5 in the U.S., under the title Lessons from the Fat-o-Sphere. I’m Kate, your co-hostess — you’ll know me by that ridiculous photo to the left, if you’re not the type to bother reading bylines. (Which I know from experience practically nobody is.)
To learn more about the book, go here. To learn more about the authors, go here. To find out about upcoming events, go here, and to hear about upcoming media appearances, follow us on Twitter.
