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.

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.

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.

I was looking for a book that made me feel really good about myself and that would help me to accept my weight. It didn't really do that though. It was not uplifting and I did not feel any better about myself after. It did have a lot of good and interesting history and information though. It is definitely not sweet and sappy let's feel good about ourselves book. It's a very frank and realistic book, which may be right for some. If I had the choice again, I would only buy it if it were a really good deal. For example, if it were available used for less than a dollar or two.
