From a more cultural studies perspective there's the excellent
Racial Indigestion: Eating Bodies in the 19th Century by Kyla Wazana Tompkins. She maintains a useful site about all things pertaining to the book here:

Also there's a great chapter in Lauren Berlant's Cruel Optimism, "Slow Death (Obesity, Sovereignty, Lateral Agency)"
More "philosophical" texts include:
Susan Bordo, Unbearable Weight: Feminism, Western Culture, and the Body (1993) (A classic)
Both of these are great too:
Doris Witt – “What
(N)ever Happened to Aunt Jemima”
Cressida
Heyes – “Foucault Goes to Weightwatchers”
Hope this helps,
