Gay is aware of the stigma which big-bodied people face hence, she strives to be honest in her writing to underscore the challenge of dealing with obesity.
Gay is cognizant that her story is not as appealing as success cases of weight loss since she is not yet in place where she can celebrate her weight loss. She offers all details without exaggerating of aggrandizing the content. The contents in Hunger are based on Gay’s personal experience with her body. This is a memoir of (my) body because, more often than not, stories of bodies like mine are ignored or dismissed or derided.” Roxane Gay
