I highly recommend this book. I've had a lifetime of "working on my weight" and I'd started to lose the "battle" recently. I bought "Body Confident" and it has been like a cherished and wise friend. I love the daily checking in and the quotations and Ms. Moran has wonderful suggestions for writing that can be done should one wish to.

While I have been slowly and steadily losing the weight, I've been gaining much insight into my relationship with eating. This is a very powerful, helpful, non-judgmental and inspirational book. Thank you, Ms. Moran!

I was really put off by the cover of this journal and so I almost didn't purchase the thing. If you feel ugly and gross, no matter your size, this journal is a very gentle and calm way to work on moving yourself out of self-loathing and into a healthy relationship between you and the body that you live in. Right here, right now, not "after I lose that first X pounds..."

I'm glad that I took the plunge: despite the cover it has actually turned out to be a lovely journal and very thought-provoking without being condescending and patronizing in that "pat the fattie on the head" sort of manner that so many health/weightloss/fitness books and journals can be towards us, The Overweight. (Really, so many seem to believe that you lose your intelligence when you gain weight?)

So I have purchased this journal (used) and I have found it to be motivating and a lovely place where I can jot down the various thoughts and ideas that cross my mind as I struggle out of a world of pain and imobility towards fitness and strength.

And I am in the process of buying a lovely journal cover for this book on Etsy.com lol!
