As a young woman Pat Ballard almost died trying to starve her body into a societally approved size. In 10 Steps to Loving Your Body (No Matter What Size You Are) she shares the steps she created ―and took―to heal the damage of years of dieting. Join her in celebrating size diversity, self esteem, positive body image, and health at every size.

"...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

Praise for
10 Steps to Loving Your Body (No Matter What Size You Are)

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."
