When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies

What do you think would happen if women stopped hating their bodies? We would . . . .

• Learn to eat when, what, and how much our bodies need.
• Overcome our fear of not dieting.
• Look in the mirror and like what we see.
• Decode our fat talk to reveal our real concerns.
• Stop trying to measure up to society's ridiculous and impossible standards of female beauty.
• Learn to accept ourselves -- our bodies as well as our feelings -- unconditionally.
