MUST READ

I don't care if you are male, female, or somewhere in between you MUST read this book. It is on my summer reading list on the edge of my blog and called PERFECT GIRLS, STARVING DAUGHTERS. Maybe you are one of the very few people that have no faults with your body and have never questioned what you ate (or wanted to but didn't) and how you looked. Hmmm.....even if you said "Yes, that's me" I don't know that I believe you. No matter where you fall on the spectrum you HAVE TO READ this. The subtitle is "the normalcy of hating your body." Courtney E. Martin, author, really nails the issues of eating and body image through a book of interviews, research, and her own experience. No one young or old gets away with avoiding these issues. Maybe you don't have a diagnosed eating disorder, but you have to read this and if you still don't feel like it fits you, send me a note. For me, it was frighteningly dead on.
