For any woman who has bonded with a stranger by
complaining about how fat she
feels, here is a thoughtful and inspiring guide to breaking
the cycle
of body criticism and creating a powerful and healthy self-
image. Let's face it, you're tired of dieting. You hate
counting calories and carbs
and fat grams. You're sick of the pressure to work out
three times a
week. Bottom line: You're tired of feeling fat. But here's the thing: Fat is not a feeling. Happy,
angry, sad -- those are
feelings. When you say you feel fat, chances are you mean
something
else. And when you ask someone if you look fat, you're
probably asking,
"Am I good enough?" Whether you're a size 2, 12, or 22,
it's considered normal to hate your body. Society
practically
encourages it. But this discontent is really just a way of
masking
deeper issues such as insecurity, low self-esteem, or a
longing for
love and acceptance. By focusing on what others tell you
are your
shortcomings, you miss countless opportunities to feel
connected, sexy,
and powerful. Do I Look Fat in This? brings good news:
Life doesn't begin five pounds from now. In this book,
acclaimed author
and speaker Jessica Weiner provides real solutions to real
problems,
from surviving a closet meltdown when you can't find
anything to wear,
to how to cope with being bombarded by images of perfect-
looking models. With quizzes, guides, tools, and tips, Do I Look Fat
in This? offers a
step-by-step plan for creating a more fulfilling and
positive life.
You'll feel better about your job, your relationship, your
family, your
friends -- and most important, yourself.
