Kimberly Kirberger, co-author of the best-selling CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE TEENAGE SOUL books and a renowned expert on teen issues, addresses the topic of body image in LOVING YOUR BODY / LOVING YOURSELF. Many problems in girls' lives stem from a lack of self-esteem and self-love: eating disorders, depression, drug use, and more. Through powerful stories and poems from real teens, as well as personal tales and advice from the author, this book strives to help girls learn to accept, love, and appreciate their bodies--and, in turn, to love themselves. Do you love your body? That may seem like a pretty crazy question, given all the reasons you've been given not to love your body-pictures of stick-thin models everywhere you look, a million commercials for weight-loss plans on TV, and tons of magazine articles telling you how to Think Thin! Tweeze Those Brows! Trim That Tummy! But what about learning to accept, appreciate, and love your body just the way it is? Because it's a part of you, and when you love yourself, you love every part of yourself. Even the parts that aren't 'perfect.' Accepting yourself just the way you are may seem like a pretty big challenge. It may even seem impossible. But it's not. You're about to read stories from real teens-and from Kimberly Kirberger, the best-selling coauthor of the Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul books-who have done it. You can do it, too. But why bother? Well, because once you learn to love yourself and make peace with your body, dealing with other things like relationships, school, and family stuff gets a lot easier. If you want to find out more about how it's all connected, start reading. Begin your journey. The coauthor of the bestselling 'Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul' books and a renowned expert on teen issues, addresses the topics of body image and self-acceptance in 'No Body's Perfect.' |
