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."
