Right to Like My Looks,
By Catherine Wardner (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bodylove: Learning to Like Our Looks and Ourselves -- A Practical Guide for Women (Paperback)
In Bodylove, Dr. Freedman most astutely points out all that is right with our looks, which, as women, is the antithesis of what we internalize via media advertizing. The need to get us to invest in a negative self image is directly correlated to their need to get us to invest in their products. I hope every women will read and incorporate Rita Freedman's healthy new stance toward ourselves and Madison Avenue.

Bodylove,
This review is from: Bodylove: Learning to Like Our Looks and Ourselves -- A Practical Guide for Women (Paperback)
Not completeyly the book I expected, but it had some really interesting information. I though eating disorders were only for those who were overly thin, I have learned different. It's helping me look at my body in a whole different light. For those of us who have a hard time accepting our bodies it's definately a good read.
5.0 out of 5 stars

I was very pleased that I could help two of my friends secure their copies of Bodylove in time for our upcoming book club discussions. The books came quickly and were perfect in condition.
