Hey, Fatso!
A Memoir
BY DEEDRA BOYER, M.S., LMHC
FOREWORD BY CHRISTOPHER GERMER, Ph.D.
For the first twenty years of my life “Hey, Fatso!” was yelled at me from peers in school, strangers walking past me on sidewalks, or out of car windows as I sat in the backseat of my parents' car.

Hey, Fatso! details seven decades of trying to get thin with diets, pills, therapists, and heaping doses of self-hatred.
