I will be able to shop in Topshop. I will be able to go swimming
and not displace all the water and create a tsunami. I will fit in
changing rooms without banging my elbows or exposing the moon of my
arse through the curtain when I bend over. I will be able to fit
behind the narrow benches at Ronnie Scott's to listen to jazz
instead of being offered a chair at the end of the row I'll be able
to see my toes, which I haven't seen since 1996 without the aid of
a selfie stick. I will be promoted and not have my desk moved to
inside the stationery cupboard for being off-brand. "I started
writing this book five years ago. I was going through a really hard
time - I lost my home and everything I owned - and the only way I
got through it was by writing, and making myself laugh. I have
always self-medicated with funny books, and wanted to write
something that made women who might be miserable or cheated on or
broke or feeling woefully unsuccessful feel a little better. The
book is rooted in my reality: I always felt my life would start and
I'd be happy once I reached my target weight. Then I got thin, and
life was still rubbish and I still hated my body. I realised true
happiness only comes with self-acceptance. So here it is. And I
hope it at least makes you smile. And reach for that doughnut."
