The FAT Girl Inside Me is NOT about weight! On the contrary, it is a collection of humorous quotes and memes chronicling every woman’s struggle with her intense appreciation for the pleasure that food brings and the desire to maintain a sense of ‘food discipline’ and a healthy lifestyle.

[Paperback Edition]

The FAT Girl Inside Me will make you laugh through the struggle of balancing the pleasure that food brings with maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It chronicles what goes on in the mind of a self-proclaimed FAT girl who constantly thinks about food and how to eat what she likes whenever she wants and still look good and be healthy. This book is NOT about weight loss, being skinny, or succumbing to unrealistic societal expectations. It simply encourages women to be honest about what makes them happy, feel good about themselves, eat the foods they like and not feel guilty about it.

The FAT Girl Inside me doesn't promote living an unhealthy lifestyle, but that you can love food and be healthy at the same time. It amusingly highlights the struggle of balancing the cookies with the cardio. This book will make you laugh, eat, and exercise!

Shajan describes herself as unapologetically FAT. She’s Fabulous AND Talented with a healthy appetite that she’s not afraid to use. She has an intense love for food…and eating it. But also an equally intense desire to feel good and look great in her clothes. This constant battle between wanting to eat cupcakes and still look amazing in her skinny jeans inspired her to write, The Fat Girl Inside Me, a book simply about the joys of eating...NOT weight loss, being skinny, or succumbing to unrealistic societal expectations. What Shajan "wants", is to eat whatever she's hungry for, not gain a pound, and still feel good about herself. She does what makes her happy...eating what she likes and not apologizing for it.

While eating is truly Shajan’s favorite hobby, she believes that enjoying food doesn’t mean you can’t be healthy. It’s about balancing the cookies with the cardio...the donuts with the dumbbells...the pizza with the push-ups...you get the picture! From one inner-FAT-girl to others, Shajan wants to empower women of all sizes, weights, shapes and fitness levels to raise their forks high and declare themselves proud to be the fabulous, food-loving, {fe}nomes they are.
