The case against the Willpower Myth, in the words of the book that kills it.
In 2005, the cultural phenomenon Skinny Bitch used shame as a mandate and willpower as a weapon. Twenty years later, the results are in: shame didn't work. Willpower wasn't enough. Fat Bitch performs a scientific autopsy on the Willpower Myth, proving that hunger isn't a moral flaw, it's a biological signaling system being sabotaged by an ultra-processed food industry.
Fat Bitch: Killing the Willpower Myth is a tactical field manual for metabolic justice and sovereign health. It is 204 pages of plain-English biology, clinical strategy and boundary scripts, written for women navigating GLP-1 medications (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro) whether they are curious, overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or coming back to try again after a hard stop.
It is not a diet book, it is not a cure, and it does not promise you an outcome. It gives you the vocabulary, the mechanisms and the scripts to run your own care.
The neurobiology of the constant mental loop of “wanting”, and how GLP-1 receptor agonists reclaim your hypothalamus and dopamine signaling.
Gastric emptying slowdown in plain English, and tactical clinical strategies for navigating nausea, constipation and side effects without panic.
Navigating insurance Prior Authorizations, understanding formularies, handling appeals, and pressure-testing where your medication actually comes from.
“Ozempic anhedonia” and emotional transitions, through structured Therapy Renovation and building your own unapologetic Joy List.
Quick-draw boundary scripts that protect your medical privacy and shut down intrusive dinner-table interrogations with zero apologies.
No diet-culture relics. No toxic cheerleading. No miracle-cure fantasies. Just truth, science, and strategies that hold up, shared at a kitchen table with people who get it.
Research and clinical data behind the book are curated at Her Metabolic Health, the research hub Cat Clark leads. Peer-reviewed studies are cited so you can see where a claim comes from. Research evolves, individual biology varies, and a study population is not you, citation of a study is not a promise of a result. See the Medical & Educational Disclaimer.
