Great choice for anyone who struggles with their body image!

This book is a step-by-step analysis of why women in the Western world today have such poor body images. It's focus is on women's love-hate relationship with food and sex and how this translates into body-loathing. Though the references are somewhat dated (many are from the mid-eighties), it is well-researched, well-thought out,and well-worth reading. In addition, it concludes by offering *realistic* approaches to regaining more self-confidence for yourself and your body. Hate your body? Feel guilty when you eat? Read this book!
