making use of my best resource! *winning smile*

Hi all,

Am looking for resources for a couple of friends of mine, and was wondering if any of you have some links/suggestions off the top of your head!

1. I am looking for novels that feature positive portrayals of women who aren't thin.

2. I am looking for resources to help someone who's currently in a pretty bad pit of depression but having trouble articulating that and reaching out. That sounds all too familiar to me, but I don't recommend my own strategy of going and going until you snap. Anything about first reaching out for professional support or recognising that's what happening is an illness and not a moral failing would be most welcome.

♥!

DO NOT read Size Twelve is Not Fat by Meg Cabot. The main character constantly bemoans not being smaller than a size 12 (UK 14), while constantly eating crap and not making any effort to be smaller. (Not to mention that size 12 is indeed not fat.) It's followed by Size Fourteen Is Not Fat Either and Big Boned. I couldn't get more than a few pages into Size Fourteen, and never tried Big Boned.

Eesh, thanks for the anti-rec!
