The book "Transforming Body Image" is an excellent resource as I struggle to lose weight. Ms. Hutchinson has helped me realize that I need to feel good about myself before I can change my body on the outside. She has helped me clarify my image of myself and release some beliefs that have limited me. She advises us to make choices about what we want for ourself. The many helpful exercises promote relaxation and enhance my ability to imagine so that I can love the body I have. This is an excellent and possibly necessary adjunct to any weight management program.

It is wonderful to me that a book from the 1980's can still speak to us about our body issues. The author's insights, honesty, and practical exercises help lead me to a more healthy view of my body. Though the exercises the author suggests need to be done in a group (even 2 people) the wisdom found in the pages of this text have given me a new outlook on life.

This is one of the few approaches to reshaping your body image that I found actually works. A sleeper of a book, this one is great!
