★Introduction "I ask my body to forgive me, forgive me for turning a blind eye for so many years."
A coming-of-age memoir about food, coming to terms with one's body, love, and insecurity, the book chronicles the author's countless struggles to achieve her "ideal weight," both up and down. When she was two years old, she returned to Pakistan with her parents. Her grandfather, unable to lift her, demanded, "What the hell have you done to your child?" The answer: two bottles of half-and-half a day (her mother misheard a neighbor's suggestion of "two teaspoons" as "two bottles"), a stick of frozen butter, and a constant supply of American processed food. By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late. She adored South Asian chaat salad, fried vegetables, and grilled meats, and considered Pizza Hut, Dairy Queen, and fried chicken and fries supreme delicacies. Whether fat or thin, she remained devoted to food. "Chubby and Round" deftly avoids clichés about weight loss and self-acceptance, offering humor that will make you laugh, cry, and feel hungry. It is a love letter to food and a courageous and honest portrait of a woman's self.

★Editor's Recommendation: Can girls be fat? Can they be greedy? Can they be both fat and greedy?
It's okay to be fat: A record of the ups and downs of eating that restores freedom to the body. A savory, fragrant book that will make your mouth water and your appetite whet. You never knew a meal could be so meaningful.
◎Accept yourself, embrace yourself, and eat whatever you want!
It is the tug of war between the "American stomach" and the "South Asian mouth", as well as the contest between traditional disciplines and modern concepts. Follow Rabia and embark on a culinary journey of love and courage.
◎For those of you who struggle with weight and resist the temptation of delicious food, I want to be happy. You don't have to be thin! Who says girls have to be thin to look good? Fat girls also have their own spring.
"A is for Arby's, B is for Burger King, C is for Coca-Cola, and D is for Dairy Queen..." This is the author of "Chubby and Round"'s method of identifying words. Even the very act of identifying words is mouth-watering. This is a completely different memoir of the body, devoid of pain or complaint, filled only with joy and perseverance. The fragrance of love and delicious food permeates every line.
Editing this book was a pleasure, and I believe reading it will be a pleasure as well.
