Why did I eat that?
Judi wants to be the thinnest girl in school, she thinks she too fat and her thighs are too “creamy” she thinks she too fat to be pretty and have a boyfriend. Her goal is to be the skinniest of them all and be in a relationship. She may have to lead herself into trouble of way she tried to lose weight.
I would recommend this book to people all ages because Fat Chance suggests the extent of eating and body-image disorders among seemingly healthy girls; it also shows the importance of professional help. Judi's convincing “voice and true-to-life experiences” this book made an impression on me because this is a 13-year-old girl worried about how fat she is. She's and weighs 127. I'm 18 years and I'm 5’3 and ½ and I weigh more than 130. So if she's calling herself “fat” then I should be calling myself “obese”. it's not just that, she thinks “fat people” aren't meant to be pretty and have relationships and etc.
I would recommend this book to children ages 10-16 years old. Kids nowadays worry about calories if they're too fat or if they look too fat. They're always worried about weight or appearance. In that age group, we should not be worried about those types of things. I'm 18 years old and I have grown adults telling me I'm too young to be on diet and I should be worried about the basics; such as school and homework.
