I‘m actually half way through this already. I stuck the headphones on, picked up the crocheting I‘m doing and almost forgot to come up for air! Loving it.

A thought provoking read for anyone with either an interest in the body positive movement, trying to overcome their own self loathing/self criticism of their bodies and also for those who chose to judge/criticise people for the bodies they are in. Told with humour from the authors own life experiences and interspersed with words of inspiration and wisdom from other well known people who also part of the body positive movement.

I received another book via #netgalley. It's about woman and their opinion of themselves.
Taryn made a movie about women and why they don't like their bodies. She talks to different women within the book and tries to analyse, why diets don't work and why every woman should love herself. It was a "ok" for, sometimes it was too emotional...

Buechersuechtling Uhem. Sorry, I need to speak up and object. Diets do work. If not, it‘s mostly not the fault of the diet but is rooted in a lack of self-discipline and/or a missing awareness of that it‘s in many cases necessary to keep (at least some) changed eating habits up even after one has reached the weight s/he was aiming for. 5y
Sarah83 @Buechersuechtling ich glaube, da gibt es kein richtig oder falsch. Sie führt einige Forschungen aus Australien an und auch mehrere Ärzte kommen im Buch zu Wort. Bei einer Diät passieren zwei Sachen: der Körper geht auf Sparmodus, dadurch kommt er mit weniger Kalorien aus und das Ausgangsgewicht wird gespeichert.

Sarah83 Gewicht zurück. Das ist bei 90 Prozent der Menschen der Fall. Alternativ wird der Kalorienverbrauch nicht wieder angepasst. Es geht in dem Buch auch eher darum, dass man keiner Größe 0 nachjagen soll und den Menschen akzeptieren soll. 5y
Buechersuechtling @Sarah83 Da hast du wohl recht, dass es ein Unterschied ist, ob man wegen eines BMI >25-26 abnehmen will oder weil man meint, in Size Zero passen wollen zu müssen. 5y
Sarah83 @Buechersuechtling das meine ich, nur weil man dicker ist, muss man nicht sofort krank sein, wie es einem oft verkauft werden soll. 5y
