Book Description
Winner of the 2020 Gourmand Awards, Food Writing Section, USA Watching Our Weights explores the competing and contradictory fat representations on television that are related to weight-loss and health, medicalization and disease, and body positivity and fat acceptance. While television—especially reality television—is typically understood to promote individual self-discipline and expert interventions as necessary for transforming fat bodies into thin bodies, fat representations and narratives on television also create space for alternative as well as resistant discourses of the body. Melissa Zimdars thus examines the resistance inherent within TV representations and narratives of fatness as a global health issue, the inherent and overt resistance found across stories of medicalized fatness, and programs that actively avoid dieting narratives in favor of less oppressive ways of thinking about the fat body. Watching Our Weights weaves together analyses of media industry lore and decisions, communication and health policies, medical research, activist projects, popular culture, and media texts to establish both how television shapes our knowledge of fatness and how fatness helps us better understand contemporary television.

From doting parents and attentive doctors to well-meaning spouses and friends, many of us have been reminded since we were young to take our vitamins. Purple and orange Flintstones characters have been replaced with less colorful caplets of vitamin C and potassium. Now Mary Jane Settle offers a new type of vitamin—spiritual vitamins, God's words. And these supplements are free and easy to swallow. After battling weight issues for years, Mary made a life-changing decision that has turned her physical and spiritual lives around. She underwent gastric bypass surgery and has never felt better. Upon realizing how drastically the food she ate affected her body physically, she became aware that she was also carrying excess mental weight. So taking her vitamins, watching her diet, and exercising faithfully have strengthened her muscles. But daily supplements of God's Word, a diet of kindness and compassion, and exercising her faith have strengthened her spiritual life. In this inspiring book that chronicles Mary's ups and downs, Mary emphasizes the importance of recognizing the symptoms of a deficient spiritual diet and nourishing your body with nutrients that can only come from God. If you have ever struggled with weight physically or spiritually, try Weighting on God.
