Many women-regardless of income, size, shape, ethnicity, and age-are uncomfortable in their own skin. We fixate on our body image and try endless diets, implants, hair extensions, and new shoes, but it's never enough. The problem is that girls and women have been socialized to mistakenly conflate body esteem and self-esteem. Body esteem refers to how you think and feel about your physical appearance: your size, shape, hair, and features. Self-esteem refers to how you think and feel about your personality, your role in relationships, your accomplishments, and your values-everything that contributes to who you are as a person. The Woman in the Mirror goes beyond typical self-esteem books to dig deep into the origins of women's problems with body image. Psychologist Cynthia Bulik guides readers in the challenging task of disentangling self-esteem from body esteem, and taking charge of the insidious negative self-talk that started as early as when you first realized you didn't really look like a fairy princess. By reprogramming how we feel about ourselves and our bodies, we can practice healthy eating and sensible exercise, and focus on the many things we have to offer our family, community, and job. Bulik provides us the tools to reclaim our self-confidence and to respect and love who we are. Praise for Crave: "More than 7 million Americans struggle with binge eating disorder (BED) . . .

EAT to Your Good Health: Exchange Lists and Meal Planning for Eating Disorders offers an excellent resource for the development of healthy eating habits for those challenged by eating disorders. Rather than focusing on calories, dieting, or weight gain, author Amy E. Galena, RD, lays out guidelines that encourage readers to develop a positive relationship with food for life-long health. This guide provides - nutrition education and guidance tailored for the eating disorder population; - sample meal plans ranging from 1200 to 2200 calories per day; - unique food journals that emphasize the nutritional benefits of food while tracking the patient's feelings and behaviors toward food; - exchange lists that do not display calories or include any diet foods; - encouragement to help patients develop a positive relationship with food; - new insights on nutrition education for the eating disorder population; - tools to help registered dietitians educate their patients about the vital importance of food on health. "Amy has used her experience working with eating disordered clients to write EAT to Your Good Health. As a student at the University of North Florida and in her professional career, her passion has always been to help clients develop a positive relationship with food. This book provides nutrition education and eating plans specifically tailored for eating disorder clients, their families, and their dietitians." -Catherine Christie, PhD, RD, LD/N, FADA, Associate Dean, Brooks College of Health & Nutrition Graduate Program Director, University of North Florida "I have always admired Amy's enthusiasm for educating those who need nutrition education. This time it is an innovative way in teaching a difficult subject to people who are difficult to change their ways. I wish Amy luck in getting her message to those who need it most in order to save their health and ultimately their lives." -Simin Bolourchi-Vaghefi, PhD, CNS, LN, Professor Emeritus, Nutrition, Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, University of North Florida

The first comprehensive resource on anorexia and women’s sexuality in the world, this book presents a model for understanding sexuality as complex with interconnected factors, and how anorexia interacts with the varied components of one’s sexuality. Challenging the limiting views of sexuality that research on women with anorexia and sex has yielded, Dr. Fabello centers real women’s narratives to explore the various ways in which this population wrestles with sexual health, violence, intimacy, identity, and more. Included is unprecedented research on how women’s level of desire for sensual touch interacts with body image, body perception, and a unique need for sexual autonomy. Written in an honest voice, Appetite bridges the gap between academia and practicality, using grounded language that appeals to professionals and survivors alike.
