She avoided  the scales, she wore a uniform of baggy black clothes, refused to make  connections between her weight and health issues and told herself that  she was fat and happy. She was certainly fat. But the happy part was an  Oscar-worthy performance. In private she lived with a growing sense of  fear and misery that her weight would probably kill her before she made  it to seventy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInterwoven with the science, social history and psychology of weight management, \u003ci\u003eFat Cow, Fat Chance\u003c\/i\u003e  is a refreshingly honest account of what it''s like to be fat when  society dictates that skinny is the norm. It asks why we overeat and  why, when the weight is finally lost through dieting, do we simply pile  the pounds back on again? How do we help young people become comfortable  with the way they look? What are the consequences of the obesity  epidemic for an already overstretched NHS? And, whilst fat shaming is so  often called out, why is it that shouting ''fat cow'' at a woman in the  street hasn''t been included in the list of hate crimes?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFusing politics, science and personal pain, this is a powerful exploration of our battle with obesity.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e_______________\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e''Agony and confusion, humour and hope.
