Love Your Body Blog Tour

Body image. If we were honest with ourselves, we would all admit that at one time or another it is something we struggle with. Our body image issues may range from just wishing we could get rid of those extra five pounds to more serious struggles such as bulimia or anorexia. With next week being National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, we felt that it would be a good week to kick off the Love Your Body: A Diet-Free Approach to Balanced Eating blog tour. But before you any ideas that this book is only for those who struggle with more serious body image issues, it's not.

Drawing upon her experiences as a registered dietitian the author, Brooke Parker, writes a book that is helpful for all. A reader, Keva, wrote about the book I could not put this book down! I felt like every chapter was written for me! I also feel very strongly that anyone and everyone could benefit from reading this book. I realized while reading that I don't have to hate food and I can love myself no matter how I look. I would recommend this book to people of all ages, shapes, and sizes. Brooke Parker gives great ideas, easy strategies, and worksheets to help you love your body!"

We are really excited for our the ten wonderful reviewers that will be sharing what their thoughts and what they've learned.
