“When I started reading your book, I could hardly put it down. What a fantastic read! I really appreciate how you combine your own life examples with those of other women, as well as making it completely practical with exercises. Many books on food/image/eating are knowledge-based... like "here's the problems and why they exist" (along with some catchy narrative examples). Your book forces the reader to stop reading and actually think about and work through her own issues/struggles. When I first started reading, I thought 'okay, I'll sit down for an easy, enjoyable read.' Not so. Soon after getting into the book, I was forced to start thinking and working.”

“Esther’s personal and professional experience confirm that food and weight issues are not about the food. Her book provides wonderful exercises to guide readers toward their own life-changing insights and greater health and happiness.
