Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Designed to challenge America’s growing obsession with thinness, this book reveals the profound mental and physical effects on women struggling with their weight. It examines the way weight obsession consumes women, shatters lives, and even kills. Documented are four major weight and eating problems—eating disorders, dysfunctional eating, size prejudice, and overweight. A warning call to health professionals, families, and leaders, it gives clear guidelines on how women can bring about meaningful change in their lives to improve health and well-being.
