Everywhere we turn we get the message that thin is beautiful. Television, movies, magazines, commercials, all tell us that we need to look a certain way--skinny--in order for people to like us and respect us. Being overweight is a health concern-but it doesn't mean a person is any less smart, less likeable, or less worthy of respect than anyone else is. Bodies come in all shapes and sizes. This book will help you think about what really matters, in yourself and in others.
