Such a Pretty Fat

The first chapter of this book explains how the author was called a "fat bitch' by a sleep deprived father on a bus. Her voice on the whole situation was her telling the story to her husband of how this name calling went down. She was telling this story as she was making dinner and she comically drew attention to how unhealthy the dinner she was making was. She throws in how her pets keep jumping on her kitchen counter to steal food as shes talking and I find it hilarious. Shell transition very subtly from her story to explain how she set her cat down on the floor for the millionth time, then continue with her story. Her style of writing is very casual, they're just her telling the stories from her life during her phase as an overweight middle aged married woman and her struggles with being mean. It's different to hear from the perspective of someone who is actually mean, not to mention who admits they are mean. She tells the reader about her struggles through life only slightly about her being not so pleasant to be around. She also talks about being overly confident. Like the amount of confidence she has is a bad thing compared to her personality. It's understandable why she would think this though. Being called a fat bitch by a stranger on a bus would normally hurt a person, but her response is that shes heard that enough in her life for it to not bother her. Now that makes me wonder, what kind of things has this woman done in her life to be called a fat bitch so many times? I'm looking forward to finding out.
