The Body Burden is for women of all shapes and sizes. Part of my book talks about feeling exposed and hiding behind food and a negative body image. I feel very exposed by this book, sometimes to the point where I want to hide and never read it again. But I will be reading it, in front of teens and women of all ages and all walks of life. Women can survive an abusive marriage or relationship and not remain an unhappy product of a wrong choice.
Women can feel self love, even after losing themselves to food and an unrealistic image.
When a woman feels she has lost her voice, that is when she loses herself. A woman s obsession with men, exercise, vomiting, starving, sex, the perfect body, midnight snacks, the imperfect reflection, loss of control and so much more is what can be found between the lines of the Body Burden. I am not a victim of the scale anymore. I am a beautiful, plus-sized woman and I encourage women to get off the scales and be happy. I know it is difficult, but we need to make a choice.
