I Do It with the Lights On: And 10 More Discoveries on the Road to a Blissfully Shame-Free Life

From the star of TLCâ€™s My Big Fat Fabulous Life and the YouTube sensation â€œA Fat Girl Dancingâ€ comes an empowering memoir about letting go of your limitations and living the life you deserve. Right now.
Â
Whitney Way Thore stands five feet two inches tall and weighs well over three hundred pounds, and she is totally, completely, and truly . . . happy. But she wasnâ€™t always the vivacious, confident woman you see on TV. Growing up as a dancer, Whitney felt the pressure to be thin, a desire that grew into an obsession as she got older. From developing an eating disorder as a teenager, to extreme weight gain in college, to her ongoing struggle with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), Whitney reveals her fight to overcome the darkest moments in her life. She holds nothing back, opening up about the depths of her depression as well as her resilience in the face of constant harassment and mistreatment.
Â
Now Whitney is on top of the world and taking no BS (Body Shame, of course). And sheâ€™s sharing the steps she took to get there and the powerful message behind her successful No Body Shame campaign. She even reveals her favorite â€œFâ€ word (itâ€™s probably not what you think), the thrill of doing it with the lights on, and the story behind the â€œFat Girl Dancingâ€ video that started it all.
Â
Exuberant and utterly honest, I Do It with the Lights On is the inspiring story of how Whitney finally discovered her fabulousness when she stepped off the scale and into her life, embracing herself unconditionallyâ€”body, heart, and soul.

Advance praise for I Do It with the Lights On
Â
â€œWhitneyâ€™s story is one of radical vulnerability. She is a vibrant example of what it means to choose confidence when insecurity beckons from every corner. She is cool, funny, and shamelessâ€”in the best possible way.â€â€”Kelsey Miller, author of Big Girl: How I Gave Up Dieting & Got a Life

â€œSoaring above expectations, I Do It with the Lights On delves into the complicated relationship between a woman and her body. With her trademark charisma, Whitney emerges triumphant, plucking from the mire some of the most important realizations one can hope to have. If you have a body, this memoir is a must-read.â€â€”Linda Bacon, PhD
