3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite what I was hoping for....
While the information in the book is decent enough, I had somehow missed that it has a fairly strong bibilical base. I have since gotten the book, You Have to Say I'm Pretty, You're My Mother, and it's a better fit for what I am looking for. I am planning to send this one onto my sister, whose beliefs are more inline with the christian principles in the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars wonderful book on mother-daughter relationships, June 26, 2002

This review is from: Mom, I Feel Fat: Becoming Your Daughter's Ally in Developing a Healthy Body Image (Hardcover)
"Mom I Feel Fat" is a well-written and thoughtful book to help mothers help their daughters improve their self-images. The author is a licensed professional counselor and she focuses on the entire mother daughter relationship. She asks thoughtful and provoking questions and provides stimulating exercises for the reader.

The author believes a mother has to understand her own emotions and behaviors in order to connect with and help her daughter understand hers, so this book is about the transformation of the mother as well as the daughter, which I agree is very necessary.

I would have given this book five stars were it not for the cover (I wish there were a 4 1/2 star rating, which is what I would like to give it.) The cover shows a model-perfect mother daughter pair, awash in flattering lighting. The real mother daughter pair, not so model-perfect are in a tiny picture on the back.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too much religion., August 31, 2002

This review is from: Mom, I Feel Fat: Becoming Your Daughter's Ally in Developing a Healthy Body Image (Hardcover)
This otherwise promising book relied too heavily on God and religion for the lay reader.
