Description
In Skinny, Fat, Perfect: Love Who You See in the Mirror, Laura Fenamore teaches women how to love their bodies, and more importantly, how to love themselves. This book combines life coaching with personal experience, and gives readers a relatable guide to self-love and weight release.
Skinny, Fat, Perfect: Love Who You See in the Mirror follows one woman’s quest to achieve emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual peace, and provides others with the tools to complete their own quests. It teaches the importance of nourishing emotional as well as physical hunger, and how to heal the body through positive reinforcement and inner power. Skinny, Fat, Perfect isn’t a diet book that tells readers what to eat, it’s a journey to self-love and acceptance.

This book shows the connection between self image and excess weight. Your lack of self love of your body may be one of the reasons you have not let go of your extra pounds. I found this be very informative and plan to explore its messag

There are no secret weapons or earth-shaking revelations in this book. It is one woman's story of how she finally shed her victim hood and took control of her life and her body. As we all know too well, weight control and body image are not problems that are solved overnight. There is no silver bullet.
What makes this book unusual is it talks about the why behind the reason you are sabotaging your health. It is very 80's to talk about the inner child but let's face it, our perceptions came from somewhere.
What I truly liked about this book was summed up in "if not now, when". We all have the demons. They make us fearful. Change and rehabilitation happen only when one takes control. In order to take control, we have to release those negatives, day by day, step by step.. Let them go.
Coming to terms with one's body is perhaps the hardest thing to do.. Again the author comes up with no new revelations. She suggests positive self talk and reinforcement. She suggests having a partner to help. All very good ideas. She says stop comparing.
The jury is out whether that is enough to turn off the negative voices but it surely does work as far as a way to release the weight..
I give this book four purrs and two paws up.
