Guest guest Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 That book really changed my life, even more so than Intuitive Eating. I have never said that about a book before, and I am aware it's an incredible cliche. But honestly, it did. thea > > I've finally bit the bullet and ordered When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I just started reading it, and I'm really loving it so far. It focuses on the sexist aspects of weightism in a way that I haven't heard anywhere else. It has awesome thought experiments, like pretending that we lived in a world where no body was considered any better than any other body. That all bodies were considered unique and beautiful and interesting in their differences. And how we can create this world in our minds. Pretending this has been very liberating for me. You start getting used to it. Wasn't it Ghandi who said 'Be the change you want to see in the world.' I don't remember the exact quote, but it's so simple and so brilliant. I'm not even 25% of the way through, and this book is rockin' my world. LOVE IT!!! Sara > > > > I've finally bit the bullet and ordered When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Just got WWSHTB off amazon.com used books for $.58. Yes, it was $3.99 to ship it, but all told, $4.57 for a book. Not bad. I’m reading 1-2 chapters a night of IE and thinking “Wow, this book was written about me. How did they know?” Jolene ------------------------------ It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. -Antoine de Saint-Exupery (The Little Prince) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Wow, that is an awesome price for such a fantastic book Jolene! :.) I think I payed 13. for my copy, lol. I love the book also; you're probably going to find a lot of times you think they are talking about you :.) I did.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I ordered WWSHTB a couple days ago along with a couple other books (Rules of Normal Eating, Nice Girls Finish Fat). Can't wait to get them! > > I've finally bit the bullet and ordered When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies.
