Thanks cedareden! Men as well as women suffer from self-esteem issues (and discrimination too) because of weight. We need to accept & respect the diversity of sizes as much as we respect & accept all the other features that make people so interesting, unique and attractive. I may start drawing some "chubby hubbies" too!

Chubby hubbies sounds awesome. Please do!

(continued from below) So, altho your gloriously detailed illustrations are of voluptuous women, they even helped this "chubby hubby!" (Oooo - hope that doesn't get me in trouble with Jen and Berries - wink wink)

I bought and read your book after watching the video and , "Thanks!" I'm not the target audience, being a guy and all. But you know, before I had to take meds that caused me to gain weight I was very fit. I'd scoff at a guy with a roll. I got more attention from the ladies. The shoe is on the other foot (or the fat pants are on the other guy) and I see how the world treats you differently. Its not ok to be larger than the TV ideal (tho most Americans are). to be continued

Ms. Patch - your illustrations are wonderful! And animated? Wow! Makes me want a full-length cartoon of More to Love characters in those wonderfully rendered settings and backgrounds.

Thanks for sharing!

Elizabeth - your book is a gem and your message is completely inspirational. I hope every woman struggling with the idea of being "fat" sees this video and buys your book. They'll have wished it was around YEARS ago!! Thank you!!
