Skinny Bitch
I am listening to the audiobook version of this great book and I absolutely love it. It is blunt and far from sugar-coating anything.
I am the queen of denial. This book does not allow me to go there at all. It’s absolutely wonderful. I love how there is random cursing and major sarcasm. I feel like the book was written just for me. I love it!
Though this book is wonderfully informative and a fantastic slap in the face, it is not a solution to eating disorders. Hearing all the facts does not stop a person who is “in the food,” and get them out of the food. There comes a point when a person gets sick of doing the bad stuff to her body and finally stops. There comes the ultimate low (which you hopefully don’t die from - no joke) that wakes you up to reality and jolts you enough to get you to use food less addictively. It would be great to not be awful with food at all, but lets face it, we are not perfectionists. … and we will use the fact that it’s impossible to be perfect as a way to keep ourselves in the food even just a little bit. Trust me, I know, because I have come up with every excuse in the book.
Skinny Bitch puts all the facts out there. It is a great learning tool on how to achieve great health on top of a fantastic body, but it will not do the work for you. You have to do the work yourself and see your own light.
Read this book. It is a great guide to what you should be doing for your body - when you are ready (hopefully that is now).
