Dada Abu, her fit and sprightly grandfather, attempted to pick her up but had to put her straight back down, demanding of Chaudry's mother: \"What have you done to her?\" The answer was two full bottles of half-and-half per day, frozen butter sticks to gnaw on, and lots and lots of American processed foods. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e And yet, despite her parents plying her with all the wrong foods as they discovered Burger King and Dairy Queen, they were highly concerned for the future for their large-sized daughter. How would she ever find a suitable husband? There was merciless teasing by uncles, cousins, and kids at school, but Chaudry always loved food too much to hold a grudge against it. Soon she would leave behind fast food and come to love the Pakistani foods of her heritage, learning to cook them with wholesome ingredients and eat them in moderation. At once a love letter (with recipes) to fresh roti, chaat, chicken biryani, ghee, pakoras, shorba, parathay and an often hilarious dissection of life in a Muslim immigrant family, \u003ci\u003eFatty Fatty Boom Boom \u003c\/i\u003eis also a searingly honest portrait of a woman grappling with a body that gets the job done but that refuses to meet the expectations of others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Chaudry's memoir offers readers a relatable and powerful voice on the controversial topic of body image, one that dispenses with the politics and gets to what every woman who has ever struggled with weight will relate to. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRabia Chaudry\u003c\/b\u003e is an attorney, advocate, podcaster, and executive producer of the four-part HBO documentary, \u003ci\u003eThe Case Against Adnan Syed\u003c\/i\u003e, which was based on her \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling book, \u003ci\u003eAdnan's Story\u003c\/i\u003e.
