Wake Up, I'm Fat!: A Memoir - Softcover

--Entertainment Weekly

"Manheim's wit runs from impish to slashing; this may be the funniest book about fat acceptance ever written."
--Dallas Morning News

"Wake Up, I'm Fat! is the heartfelt and ballsy story of how [Manheim] learned to be comfortable in her own skin...Inspiring without being soap Oprah-ish, Manheim is a natural writer; she has fine powers of description (her chapter on Emmy night is at once dishy and spellbinding)...her dignity and self-reliance are downright refreshing."
--Salon

"A funny, wickedly candid book."
--Good Housekeeping

"An open and unabashed look at being fat that's crammed with funny, poignant, and painful insights."
--Parade
