You Are Not a Before Picture: How to Finally Make Peace with Your Body, for Good by Alex Light

3.0

Very self-affirming, and not too heavy a read. This is a great self-help book for anyone new to diet culture research who doubts themselves and has issues with accepting their body. If you’re well versed in this topic you might be disappointed with the book. I hate diet culture so obviously the book appealed to me. Having read it, I’m left feeling like it wasn’t finished or perhaps was too heavily edited. Something is missing… it never quite feels fully fleshed out.
