KRISTAN HIGGINS

In researching the myriad issues and experiences portrayed in Good Luck with That, I wanted to explore more than my own issues with body image and health. Thank you, first and foremost, the dozens of honest, brave, funny, intelligent people who shared their personal stories online, anonymously and through face-to-face conversations with me.

 

In addition, I was greatly aided by:

• National Institute of Health

• Centers for Disease Control

• The American College of Gastroenterology

• The Experience Project

• ThisIsThinPrivilege.org

• The Emily Program

• Overeaters Anonymous

• CNN

• The Wall Street Journal

• The New York Times

• The Washington Post

• National Public Radio
