Do It Fat: An Unapologetic Guide to Taking Up More Space Regardless of Your Size

It’s Time to Separate Your Worth from Your Waistline When we believe we take up too much physical space, we often compensate by taking up less intellectual space. We quiet our ideas, hide our brilliance, and put our dreams on hold. Too many women have delayed a career move, stayed silent in a room, or opted out of an opportunity, not because they weren’t capable, but because of how they felt about their bodies. Do It Fat is an invitation to completely separate your decisions, your actions, and your ambition from how your body looks today, how it used to look, or how it will look in the future. It is a refusal to make your visibility conditional and a hard look at why that is so challenging for so many of us. As a brand strategist, Sara Chambers has spent years helping entrepreneurs step into the spotlight and own their power. She’s seen how body image can become the invisible barrier that keeps women small. This book examines not just her personal struggle but the cultural and systemic forces that have convinced generations of women to measure their worth in pounds and inches. Infused with personal stories, sharp cultural critique, and unflinching observations, Do It Fat exposes why women hate their bodies and how that hatred robs them of visibility, voice, and impact. Do It Fat is an unapologetic guide for every woman who has delayed her dreams because of her body. It is an opportunity to take up more space, live louder, and separate your ambition from the size of your jeans. PRAISE FOR DO IT FAT: “Do It Fat is a bold, unapologetic celebration of bodies that challenges the myths and stigma so many of us carry. Sara’s writing honors autonomy, joy, and well-being while refusing to center weight as the measure of health or worth. At the same time, she centers the lived experience of bodies in a way that is honest, vibrant, and unflinching, without asking anyone to erase or diminish their own body. This book is a powerful reminder that everyone deserves space, physically, socially, and emotionally, to thrive as they are.” —Liz Brinkman, Founder and Registered Dietitian, On the Brink Nutrition “Do It Fat leans into the “both” and the “and” of body image, diet culture, and beauty standards and takes into consideration all the nuance that is often left undiscovered or purposely avoided. Sara’s work is raw, unfiltered, based on both lived experience and pertinent research - the necessary blend that separates flat opinion pieces from robust, thought-provoking literature. This work highlights how mainstream diet and fitness culture makes us (often, women) lose our sense of self, health, and worth, and digs into the complexities of body image work while navigating body changes. This book is the mirror we all need to finally see the beauty and benefit of living our lives on our terms in whatever body we have, today.” —Dr. Lisa Nichole Folden, Owner/Licensed Physical Therapist, Healthy Phit Physical Therapy & Wellness Consultants, LLC View Less
