We’re mentioned in a terrific article about the plus size fashion industry. (And although there’s the inevitable headless fatty, I love that it’s a self-portrait of the photographer!)

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!

We wrote a book!

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.)
