Paperback. |
This excellent book is not just another weight loss book! A Waist Is A Terrible Thing To Mind tackle a real issue of Why body image is such a struggle for women. This is approached from two broad fundamental perspectives: these are:
Society's Definition And Perspective Of 'Healthy' Body Image And Beauty
Linamen explores how women battle with society's definition of, and obsession with beauty and the perfect skinny body image which women struggle with - even where women might not even have a weight issue.
Different Factors Which Cause Women To Gain Weight
Linamen further point to countless other factors working against women to make them gain weight, such as metabolism, stress, personal circumstances etc., But perhaps the biggest culprits are the food and restaurant establishments/ industries.
Linamen explains how they work against women, by seducing us into eating too much, leading to all manner of food mis-use, dieting issues and causing us to feel bad or confused about our body/image.
Written in plain English from a very humorous though, thought- provoking and authorative slant, these two broad perspectives are explored to the extent where you literally feel the light bulb go on!
Understand these two perspectives of society's expectation, the many variables that expose us women to weight gain and you are three quarters of the way to successful, sustained weight loss and self love!
The book can't help but make you connect with your appreciation of the sad reality why many women turn to cosmetic surgery, even risky procedures and other radical forms of body make-overs to get closer to society's expectation; all of which seldom work.
As Karen Linamen put it, no matter how close we come to society's expectation, women who take such radical steps to make themselves feel better, do so without much profit.
Why does these drastic steps seldom work? Because in reality, before we can work on the external aspects of ourself, we first need to work on our internal self with a view to making peace with ourselves and coming to terms with what and who we are!
A Waist Is A Terrible Thing To Mind is not just another one of those 'read it and put it on the shelf' kind of weight loss books. It is in a class of its own by virtue of the fact that it does not merely look at the symptoms but help women to understand key important issues on a deeper level. In this sense, it tackles the underlying health, womens health issues and barriers, unlike many weight loss books.
Although there is strong emphasis in this weightloss book on healthy eating and fitness, surprisingly, these two concepts are not in conflict with Linamen's stance on the need to love and accept yourself for who you are!
In addition to showing you practically how to confidently refuse unhealthy food choices, you will be shown:
