Learn to love yourself and your body with this interactive guide from the “shame-free, fun, cheerful, and no-nonsense” (Bustle) body acceptance advocate and influencer who founded Megababe beauty.

“Brilliant, hilarious, adorably illustrated.”—Goop

Can you imagine how much free time you’d have if you didn’t spend so much of it body shaming yourself? Katie Sturino knows all too well what it’s like to shit talk yourself. She spent thirty years of her life feeling ashamed of her body and its self-determined wrongness. Now she doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her; she only cares that she’s happy and comfortable with herself. Body positivity and size inclusivity is still a relatively new phenomenon, but Sturino has dedicated her life to unlearning all that beauty standard BS and uses her blog, Instagram, podcast, and non-toxic, solution-oriented beauty products to share the message that changed her life: YOUR BODY IS NOT THE PROBLEM.

With Body Talk, an illustrated guide-meets-workbook, Sturino is here to help you stop obsessing about your body issues, focus on self-love, and free up space in your brain for creative and productive energy. Complete with empowering affirmations, relatable anecdotes, and actionable takeaways, as well as space to answer prompts and jot down feelings and inspirations, Body Talk encourages you to spend less time thinking about how you look and what you eat and more time discovering your inner fierceness.

From the Publisher

May we free ourselves from the hamster wheel of body hate.... –Katie Sturino


This book is for everyone who’s tired of thinking about their so-called body issues, whatever those may be. It’s for anyone who’d much rather move on with her day and have a good life!	We’ll talk about how much time and brain space we waste thinking negative thoughts about ourselves, brainstorm all sorts of more fun ways to spend that time and energy, and learn to tune in to internal monologues so we can start being kinder to ourselves.	We’ll learn to take action against the external and internal forces that make us feel ashamed about our body. We’ll talk about shame a lot throughout this book and get really good at giving it the finger.


No matter your relationship with your physical being, you are powerful, unstoppable, fun, and worthy of love. This book is here to help reinforce the message that all those things are already inside you.	By the end of this book, I am confident that you will be able to recognize the power that’s always resided within you. We will figure out what to DO with it, which is super fun because I’ll basically act like the Cool Grandparent and say “WHATEVER YOU WANT!”	Just remember: You don’t have to wait until you reach a goal weight. This book is for YOU and it is ABOUT you. And when you finish, pass the message on and move forward with your life.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

I didn’t always think being big was a bad thing.

Until I went to kindergarten, I was encouraged to “eat up” and grow big and strong. I was barely aware of my body beyond its most basic elements (head, shoulders, knees, and toes, knees and toes). So long as I could run around barefoot in my fish-printed swimsuit and cartwheel for hours on the front lawn, I was happy. My body was just along for whatever ride I wanted to go on.

I started to become aware of my body, its bigness, and the so-called problem with its bigness only when others began pointing it out to me. At five years old, I was voted “Heaviest Kid” in class after my peers and I were weighed (literally weighed, like on a scale in front of everyone) in part of some sort of deranged school-superlative activity. That same year, my gymnastics coach told my mom I was too big for the sport. When I was seven, my doctor put me on a diet.

At age nine, I had to wear my soccer coach’s jersey during games because the uniform company didn’t make my size—which, in terms of humiliation level, is the wearable athletic equipment equivalent of accidentally calling a teacher “Mommy” in front of the whole class. My elderly female neighbor commented on my “developing figure” when I was ten. A year later, the boys in my class began commenting on it, too.

It was disorienting to learn that I didn’t just have a body—in the eyes of others, I WAS my body.

It defined me. It was even more disorienting to learn that my body (and therefore I) wasn’t considered the “right” size or shape. Shame began eating away at my confidence as I began to realize my body wasn’t considered normal, and in one way or another, it was being judged.

I’ve always felt like the biggest person in the room. I felt ashamed of that fact until I was thirty-three. Growing up (in Wisconsin—go Badgers!), I had plenty of wonderful, supportive people in my life. I am lucky to have parents who raised me with the kindness, enthusiasm, love, and care one might typically bestow upon a baby rescue animal before releasing it into the wild. But a lot of people in my life—phenomenal humans that they were and are—unintentionally reinforced the very insecurities I was developing. For all the love and wisdom I received, no one ever said to me, “Your size does not determine your worth” or “When you grow up, you do not have to look like the women you see on TV to be successful.” No one said, “You’re just a kid” or even “What matters is who you are, not what size you are.”

It’s no one’s fault they didn’t say these things to me. I blame long-standing Societal Beauty Standards, but that’s another story for another page (page 137, to be exact). And while I can’t help but think about how different my relationship with my own body growing up would have been if someone had just said, “There is nothing wrong with you,” in 2015, I learned to say it to myself. And then everything changed.

My life used to revolve around three different worlds: my clients, my ex-husband, and my dogs. I ran my own public relations company, where my daily goal was to uplift and champion my clients. In my off-hours, however, I rarely uplifted or championed myself. Because my self-esteem was so low, and I was used to it being so low, I found it a lot safer to raise everyone else’s star instead of mine. Though I ran my own business, promoting my then-husband’s burgeoning career took priority and the majority of my focus. And my beloved dog, Toast, who is no longer with us but will forever bark at the doorbell of my heart—well, she was a canine celebrity, which made me her manager, or her dogager, as I called myself ( . . . as a joke, but also I was dead serious).

A big part of Toast’s career was dedicated to animal rescue. Through her Instagram account, media presence, and event appearances, Toast helped to raise awareness about the horrors of puppy mills and encouraged animal lovers to “adopt, don’t shop.” Whenever people would say to me “What you do for animals is so amazing,” I’d correct them: “Well, it’s all Toast.” It was all Toast! After all, people didn’t show up to charity events to see me. I wasn’t the cute rescue Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with a silky chestnut coat, no teeth, the disposition of a calm angel, and a lovely, permanently lolling tongue! And why would anyone ever want to hear from me, anyway? Even to myself, I was no one.

My self-perception began to shift shortly after I accompanied Toast to a video shoot for a fashion blog called Man Repeller. As usual, Toast was there to be an adorable, front-and-center star.
I was there to manage (dogage) her affairs behind the scenes. While watching Toast do her thing, I got to talking with a woman named Amelia Diamond, a writer for Man Repeller at the time (who has since become a lifelong friend—aw!). We bonded right away because of our shared sense of humor and mutual recognition that we have identical foreheads. There was such an immediate comfort between us that I allowed myself to push out a small, secret wish (did you think I was about to say “fart”?): I told her that I wanted to be photographed for the site. Me! A woman who had never fit into her chosen industry, literally and metaphorically—who never felt she could “pull off” certain styles she always secretly wanted to try.

When you’re used to pushing for the success of others but never for yourself, you almost can’t believe it when you do take a flier, promote yourself, and receive back a giant “Yes!” like the one Amelia gave me. After it registered that she had in fact said yes, my internal reaction was “What have I done?” I had to actually be photographed? In clothes? With my rolls and chub and jiggle and flub threatening to ruin the shoot?

I was so uncomfortable in front of the camera on the day of—“Do I have a double chin? Do I look like I don’t belong? Do I look enormous? What about now? Now do I have a double chin???”— that the team had to distract me with tactics usually reserved for crying toddlers on Santa’s lap. I felt like a clumsy bear in a tutu. But when the article was published, the comments told a different story. Readers were thrilled to see a body that looked like mine. A body that looked like theirs! In cool clothes!! On a fashion blog that I had long read for my own style inspiration!!! It was my big aha moment, my “Eureka!” A switch flipped and the light turned on: My body was not, and is not, the problem.

My body was NOT, and is NOT, the PROBLEM?! Holy. Shit.

That realization, paired with the commenters’ enthusiasm, gave me the courage I needed to launch an Instagram account that would pass the message on to other women. I called it The 12ish Style because I wore a size 12-ish at the time, but I had no idea that as my weight began to rise, I’d learn to accept my body as I never had before and would eventually speak about body acceptance
of all kinds to an audience of women who came in all shapes and sizes. Shortly after the Instagram account began taking off, I created a blog to give myself more room to dive deeper into the topics I cared about. Writing about how hard it was to find cool jeans that fit me led me to larger conversations about the lack of size representation in fashion, retail, the media, and pop culture. The deeper I dove, the louder my new internal mantra became: MY BODY IS NOT THE PROBLEM.

and this is how I got on the Katie Sturino rabbit hole, following her on Instagram and finally reading her book. This book is just like her brand, just like her posts, just like herself: honest, funny, colorfully messy and raw, so lovely and loving.

Here there is such an empathetic view on the bully talk we have about our bodies, how to transform it, one baby step at a time. I love the exercises and her approach to them. There are so many self help books out there that are imperative about doing the exercise right now, I adored how relaxed she was about them, always reassuring you to do it all in your time.

The whole book is like an older sister talk on how to be and do what is comfortable for yourself. I believe all women who know they have negative self talk or have felt they've given their power away should have this book close.

If I had unlimited funds, I would buy a copy of this book for every person in my life. I’ve been following Katie Sturino’s Instagram account for years and this book is a tangible version of all of the advice she’s given to her followers over the years. As you are reading, you feel like a super cool best friend / cheerleader / sister is giving you advice in the least obnoxious way possible. I love the layout, the homework, the fun illustrations and most of all, the hit you at your core soul searching realness. I am so grateful that Katie wrote this book, not only for me, but for anyone who has ever felt “less than” because of their appearance and to help stop this perpetual cycle of negativity about our bodies.

Bottom line, quit reading this review and buy the book immediately!

I can’t say enough good things about this book. Katie’s delivery is funny, thoughtful, kind and smart. It’s like getting advice from your wisest girlfriend and biggest cheerleader rolled into one. For decades I’ve engaged in negative self talk and really toxic thought patterns of myself. She guides you through how to overcome them and is empathetic about your journey. Her book was like a lightbulb that went off and now I can honestly say, I have a healthier view of my body and myself. It’s a process and some days are harder than others but using the tools Katie has suggested, allows me to continue on my path towards total self love and acceptance. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Katie!

Does what the title says it will do, and does it well

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2021

This volume is written in an upbeat and easy-to-read style; however, it also has a great many insertions and double page sections that made it difficult to read in a digital format - potential readers should keep that in mind and consider opting for a paper-based format. As an adult, I recognized many of the same comments the author received as those I received myself, especially once I approached puberty and my mother began to focus on my appearance, and specifically your weight, which was appropriate before she focused on making me slender instead of average; were it not for the profanity, I would recommend it for middle and high schools for use with preteens and teens, but the language makes it inappropriate for a use in a school setting as curriculum. It s appropriate for older teens, and high school libraries may be likely to find it acceptable.

Katie Sturino, the author, is very open about her experiences as a tall child, who stood out from her peers at an early age for reasons unrelated to weight, as well as her experiences as a heavy teen and adult. She relates her family’s comments, her emotional response at the time, and the journey she took to reach her current state of acceptance of herself as she is - and then makes suggestions for readers to help them to that same level of acceptance.

She covers the mental health issues that occur with body shaming, as well as the general focus on appearance that pervades our society, but in discussing her weight, she never once addresses any physical health issues that may come from either excessive weight control or being overweight. Those who are looking for those discussions will need to look elsewhere. Those who are looking for someone who understands how it feels to be body shamed and not accepted based on appearance from an early age will recognize themselves in Sturino’s writing, and many will benefit from the acceptance exercises she includes. Those who are looking for tips for how to be physically healthy at any weight will not find them here; this book is purely about accepting oneself as one is, and nothing else.

I’ve devoured this book in an afternoon, and will be coming back to it to do more homework and as a reference many times I’m sure.

Katie’s natural humour, her strong voice and no nonsense writing style shone a light into my heart the way dusting off a dirty window suddenly brightens the whole room.

This is the book equivalent to everything I wish I had been told as a child, a teen and basically this morning. “My body was not and is not the problem.” “You are inherently worthy of love”.
In an easy to read, entertaining and stimulating format.

I stopped listening to my “mascot” when I was 6. I look forward to embracing her again and using all of the time I wasted hating myself to accomplish what I know I’m capable of.

Cannot rave about this book enough! It's very funny, very real, and very helpful.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

I read a plethora of self-help body image books and this has been my absolute favourite to date. It's funny, very real, easy to follow and focuses on body neutrality as opposed to body positivity. As someone in a place of eating disorder recovery this approach really resonated with me and if you struggle with the whole 'falling in love with yourself' vibe I'd suggest giving it a go. (Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just that can be really hard to achieve.)

It's a short read, but I like that because it doesn't feel repetitive (I find books in this space sometimes can be). It gives you some tangible and incredibly helpful exercises to work through, some of which I now use on the daily! Highly recommend for anyone experiencing body image struggles... (who doesn't mind profanity!)
