What's the Story?: A Guided Walkthrough of the Stories You Tell Yourself About Your Body - 9798989432103

ABOUT THE BOOK

This body liberation journal includes [almost] everything I have learned in my journey about diet culture, fatphobia, and anti-fat bias-both internally and within the systemic systems around you. It also includes several of the steps and activities I have found and implemented to improve my own body image over the last seven years. I highly recommend not waiting and, instead, keeping this journal around as a consistent tool for discovery and learning in your own self-help work and recovery from a diet-cultured society. Working through your internalized and externalized anti-fatness will help you not only lessen its impact but become much more aware of any behaviors you're currently engaging in that aren't serving you. This journal gives you an easy-to-read story accompanied by hands-on journal-style pages and several activities/exercises, journaling prompts, and more. Go along with me and other readers on this journey toward body neutrality and self-love while holding yourself accountable for learning and lessening the impact your personal implicit bias has on yourself and others.
