Opis

This book will help heal your negative attitudes about body size and self-worth and provide new insights to raise your self-esteem and confidence. Women of ANY size will find comfort and inspiration in the cheerful and loving words of this motivational book based on the authors personal experience and deep emotional and spiritual wisdom about really seeing our own beauty and power and worth, regardless of body shape or size or weight. In the author's own words: "In my family, being fat was considered a sin. Well, to be honest, being overweight was a sin and fat-well THAT was just completely unacceptable From a very early age, I got the message that something was wrong with my size and that it was all my fault. I learned very early in life that my body was something to be ashamed of, and I unconsciously adopted the belief that I, as a human being, was a failure because of how I looked. Of course, the bad news for me was that, at that time, food was the only sense of nurturing and comfort that was available to me. And, needing that nurturing and comfort as badly as I did, I "failed" every weekly weigh-in in my teenage years and didn't learn to drive until I was 22 and had been out of my parents' house for 5 years It's taken me the better part of 50 years to finally get the message that my value as a human being is not defined by a number on the scale or the size of my clothes. And to also understand that my size is nothing to be ashamed of, and therefore -- neither is yours "
