<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A new way to get healthy, with happiness and self-empathy at its core. No more yo-yo diets, punishing workouts, and scolding voices in your head; instead, work with your body (not against it) to change habits with joy and energy.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Create a healthier and happier life by treating yourself with compassion rather than shame.</b> <p/> Imagine a graph with two lines. One indicates happiness, the other tracks how you feel about your body. If you're like millions of people, the lines do not intersect. But what if they did? <p/> This practical, inspirational, and visually lively book shows you the way to a sense of well-being attained by understanding how to love, connect, and care for yourself--and that includes your mind as well as your body. <p/><i>Body Kindness</i> is based on four principles. <br> WHAT YOU DO: the choices you make about food, exercise, sleep, and more <br> HOW YOU FEEL: befriending your emotions and standing up to the unhelpful voice in your head <br> WHO YOU ARE: goal-setting based on your personal values <br> WHERE YOU BELONG: body-loving support from people and communities that help you create a meaningful life <p/> With mind and body exercises to keep your energy spiraling up and prompts to help you identify what YOU really want and care about, <i>Body Kindness</i> helps you let go of things you can't control and embrace the things you can by finding the workable, daily steps that fit you best. It's the anti-diet book that leads to a more joyful and meaningful life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"simple and true" --<i>New York Times Book Review </i> <p/> "[Scritchfield] provides fantastic tips for transforming your mental and physical health... a must-read."--<i>The</i><i>Huffington Post</i> <p/> "[A] rousing guide to better health...

Written in a friendly tone (as if you are talking to one of your best girlfriends), by a dietitian, who has overcome her own war with her body. Readers will enjoy the stories, infographics, and the many helpful action steps to make peace with food, body, and mind--once and for all!" <br> --<b>Evelyn Tribole, MS, RD</b>, coauthor of <i>Intuitive Eating</i> and <i>The Intuitive Eating Workbook</i> <p/> "It is just not possible to hate yourself to health. <i>Body Kindness</i> is a comprehensive, compassionate, and honest user's manual that guides you to nourish, move, care for, and yes, accept your body now." <br> --<b>Michelle May, MD</b>, author of <i>Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat</i> <p/> "Put down that diet book and smash your scale--they don't help you get healthy! Rebecca has taught me that the best thing I could do for my health is to take care of my body and stop fighting it." <br> --<b>Bernie Salazar, MEd</b>, At-Home Winner, <i>The Biggest Loser</i>, season 5<br>
