Quatrième de couverture :
For any woman who has engaged in a bathroom bitching session about how fat she feels come an explosive new guide to breaking the cycle of body criticism and creating a powerful, healthy self-image.
Let's face it, you're tired of dieting. You hate counting calories. You're sick of the pressure to work out three times a week and of being bombarded by images of perfect-looking models. Bottom line: you're tired of feeling fat. But here's the thing: fat is not a feeling. When you ask someone if you look fat, you're probably asking 'Am I good enough?'
Acclaimed motivational speaker Jessica Weiner has spent years decoding the 'language of fat' women speak in the destructive bonding sessions they engage in every day. In Do I Look Fat in This? Weiner explores how body image controls the way women think about 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 positive life - and ending those negative bonding sessions for ever.
