Book Description

March 2, 2006
“Do I look fat in this?” It’s a nagging question that almost every woman asks herself—regardless of her size. There’s an epidemic of self-loathing among American women today. So what’s keeping so many women from feeling confident? Powerful? Sexy? For many women, the answer is, “My body.”

We hate the shape of our bodies. We worry about cellulite. Sagging. Sex. As a life coach on the daytime reality show Starting Over, Britten has helped countless women befriend their bodies—first by facing and accepting what they see in the mirror, and then by empowering them to make healthier decisions about their weight. She’s heard from thousands more who write in to her Web site asking for advice, support, and guidance on how to raise their self-esteem, particularly as it relates to their bodies. She knows what it takes to choose to live a healthy lifestyle and to commit to change. But that doesn’t mean it’s always been easy for her to practice what she preaches. In Do I Look Fat in This? Rhonda shares her personal story of body confidence as well as the stories of many of the clients she has worked with to look beyond the scale, stop hating their bodies, and start loving themselves.

2.0 out of 5 stars An unsatisfying mix of memoir and advice, August 14, 2006
This review is from: Do I Look Fat in This?: Get Over Your Body and On With Your Life (Hardcover)
I believe this book would have worked better if the author had written a more personal book, or a more traditional advice book. As is , it is an unsatisfying mixture of both, with neither aspect very fulfilling.

The goal of the book is admirable, but I found the advice to be overly simplistic and often repetitive. The personal parts of the book frequently come off as being a plug for the author's tv show and and I found this annoying. Whenever specific people from the show are brought up, it is with so little context that these anecdotes contribute little to the book.

The most interesting part of the book is the photos of women with brief comments on their attitudes about their bodies. These women barely figure in the text of the book, I'd have liked the book more if the focus was more on these women than the author's personal experiences. This focus on the personal might have worked in a different kind of book, but in this case it limits the usefulness of the book to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK!, May 29, 2006
By 
Nay (CT...USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Do I Look Fat in This?: Get Over Your Body and On With Your Life (Hardcover)
Finally...a book for someone like me!
I'm not overweight, not looking for a diet or exercise plan like so many other body books give. I have body image issues and God Bless Rhonda for writing a book that speaks to accepting and loving our bodies!
I loved every page, it was so helpful.
Rhonda writes in honesty, and from her heart. She shares her own feelings and experiences...I find courage in that!
It is a great read and a book I will refer back to often!
Do yourself a favor and buy it!
ENJOY!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Couldnt Put It Down!, March 2, 2006
By 
Jessica Swensen "Jessica S." (Thousand Oaks, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Do I Look Fat in This?: Get Over Your Body and On With Your Life (Hardcover)
I just got this book today, and after about 5 hours I read it cover to cover. I couldnt put it down! Rhonda is brutally honest in this book about her struggles with her body and it connects her to the rest of the world. By the end of this book she will feel like your best friend. I see now where my body has held me back in life, but even better I have a guide now on how to change it! My body will become my best friend! Thank you Rhonda!!!
