Do I Look Fat In This? Get Over Your Body and On With Your Life

This powerful book helps to change the way you look at and feel about your body. This is not a diet and nutrition book. It is a book to help you love your body as it is, right now, TODAY! It helped me to finally see that my body is my friend not my enemy. Rhonda gives real life examples of how this works and why it is important to love your body and stop using it as an excuse to keep you from doing the things you want to do and living the life you so deeply desire. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is challenged to love their body or use it as an excuse.

GREAT BOOK!

Finally...a book for someone like me! I'm not overweight, not looking for a diet or exercise plan like so many other body books give. I have body image issues and God Bless Rhonda for writing a book that speaks to accepting and loving our bodies! I loved every page, it was so helpful. Rhonda writes in honesty, and from her heart. She shares her own feelings and experiences...I find courage in that! It is a great read and a book I will refer back to often! Do yourself a favor and buy it! ENJOY!

Honest, vulnerable, revealing, and brilliant!

I'm so excited about this book! Once I picked it up I couldn't put it down. I was captivated. Rhonda is 100% honest and vulnerable in sharing with us her own personal body image issues. She is one of us, a friend, relating and connecting with us as no other author does. She is brilliant! I will never again think of my body the same way. I love my body now. Thank you Rhonda! What a gift you have given to us. Bj Garnaus

I Couldnt Put It Down!

I just got this book today, and after about 5 hours I read it cover to cover. I couldnt put it down! Rhonda is brutally honest in this book about her struggles with her body and it connects her to the rest of the world. By the end of this book she will feel like your best friend. I see now where my body has held me back in life, but even better I have a guide now on how to change it! My body will become my best friend! Thank you Rhonda!!!

Life-Changing

Wow! What a brave woman Rhonda is! Of course, if you've read her other books, you know this. In her latest book, she really "bares all" (in more ways than one) and does so with humor, compassion, and vulnerability. She walks the talk, stands in her truth, and gives the reader anecdotes from her own and others' journeys toward healing their negative body image. There are revealing pictures of women of all sizes, Rhonda included, along with each woman's thoughts about her body. What would you change about your body if given the chance? Rhonda's book will help you understand the importance of acceptance and outline the path toward appreciation and love for your body, no matter what your size. Does it work? It did for Rhonda and now she wants to share her journey with others. Is she perfect? No, and she's the first to admit it. This book WILL change the way you see your body!
