PRAISE for 10 Steps to Loving Your Body
"Thank you so much for saving my sanity. I have your list of 10 Steps to Loving Your
Body in my cube at work and in a frame hanging over my dresser! Finally, someone who has made me
realize I am awesome the way I am. A weight has been lifted off of my shoulders
and I have never felt better about myself! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Beverly B Pittsburg, PA
"...a mixture of personal coach and cheerleader for anyone looking to discover how to accept
their body as it is, not as you want it to be. Complete with guidelines and worksheets, this book is aimed to
help you stop fighting with your body." Liz at Healthbolt.net
"I have been a fan of Pat Ballard's writing, and her vision, for years. If you haven't
learned to cherish your life's vehicle―your body―this beautiful little book will make a big beautiful
difference. If you already know what is truly important, this book will re-arm you for the sometimes daunting
task of living fully at any size."
Janey Milstead Writer/Editor & past Editor-in-Chief of BBW
"With her wit and wisdom, Pat shares the secrets to eliminating self-loathing. This
effervescent book lifts a woman's spirits and toasts life as it should be lived!" Bunkie Lynn author of
The Big Girl's Guide to Life: A Plus-Sized Jaunt Through A Body-Obsessed World
Body Wisdom to Replace Body Warfare
"If you're a woman, odds are you're not happy with your body. You probably can't remember when
you weren't at war with your belly or your thighs. (Men are beginning to catch up with their own versions of
body discontent.) Western culture provides you with a steady stream of images and advice about an often
unattainable "right" way to look, feeding your feelings that you just aren't acceptable as you are.
"Enter Pat Ballard with 10 Steps to Loving Your Body (No Matter What Size You Are) to supply a
badly-needed alternative voice! Ballard's easy-to-read, easy-to-use volume is like having your own personal
coach and cheerleader for ending the warfare and making peace with the body you have. She's out in front
to show you the way, behind you to nudge you forward, and beside you offering support and encouragement for every
step (all 10!) of your journey. She accomplishes this with guidelines (" . . . our bodies know what they want to
look like"), worksheets to practice new ways of thinking and behaving (". . .look for 10 good things about [your]
body and try to develop them"), and the greatest collection of inspirational quotes for body-love and general
self-respect you're likely to find anywhere (for example, from Gloria Steinem, "Each individual woman's
body demands to be accepted on it's own terms." Or, from an unknown author, "'It's not who you are that holds you
back; it's who you think you're not.")
"10 Steps is your body's best friend in pocket form. I'm delighted to have it on hand
to recommend―personally and professionally―to anyone struggling with body image and the inkling that it's better to
embrace than fight the one-and-only body you have."
Susan Schulherr author of Eating Disorders for Dummies
