Negative self-image and body criticism

is a growing problem, especially among young women who vocalize their anxieties by speaking the language of fat.

Acclaimed motivational speaker and author of A Very Hungry Girl (Hay House, 2003), Jessica Weiner has spent years decoding this language and analyzing the destructive bonding sessions that women engage in every day. Written in a sassy, accessible tone that speaks to the MTV generation, this book shows women how to break the cycles of body loathing that affect all aspects of their lives: health, wealth, career, family and relationships.

Filled with wisdom, guidance and stories of inspiration and triumph, the book is a step-by-step plan for creating a more fulfilling and positive life - and ending those negative bonding sessions forever.
