I think this book deals with difficult topics and should be read, especially by younger people that struggle with comparison between what they see online and what they see in the mirror.

I admit I was a bit skeptical about this book from the start. However the author's won me over. They did what they promised and more.

The book is a user friendly guide to body image and eating. It is written in a way that could be helpful for adults or teenagers.

The book approaches important topics like puberty, emotions, stress management, and sleep and exercise habits.

It discusses body diversity and acceptance and gives an approach to treating your body well without a diet! What a great read for teens and parents of teens

The publisher provided an ARC through Netgalley. I have voluntarily decided to read and review, giving my personal opinions and thoughts

As a mother and teacher I see the everyday stress on tweens and teens. This workbook always teens to be able to look at their patterns and find positive thoughts on their own bodies. Although it will not be a curriculum I teach, I see this book as one counselors could easily use with teens.

I read this book as I have a niece who is the target age for the book and I am worried about the unrealistic body images she's presented with in the media,

The book is written by a trio of experts who share their wisdom about food, sleep, weight, texting, exercise, emotions and more. The book features science-based, compassionate advice and with gentle humour. The book is easy to read with short chapters and questions which allow self reflection.

It is thought provoking and incredibly useful not just for teens but for anyone who has a teen in their lives.

I thought this book was very important. I have teens of my own and work within the school system where I see children and teens struggling with who/what they want to be. They are trying to find themselves and body image always plays a role in determining what they view as their own worth in the eyes of society. Uniqueness is what makes us so damn special and that includes what we look like and how we embrace it. Thank you NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

How uplifting! I don't suffer from body image, but if I did this is a great book! Thank you netgalley for the free arc in exchange for an honest review!

I've personally struggled with body image and the negative emotions that come with it. I have never had a positive, hopeful relationship with food and perhaps never will, but I try and find ways to help myself.
I've struggled with body image for as long as I remember, to the point of a disorder. I've never had a particularly positive relationship with food, but recovery (although slow) is still on its way. I think it's a good resource for those who seek more information and need tips on how to deal with issues in a motivating and positive way as it also has generalized information and plenty of exercises for the reader to do.
Overall, it's great! It's inclusive to all genders and ages. It's positive and motivating and invigorating, so it's a win for me.

This is an interesting book. I think this would be fantastic for teens who enjoy reading, however, there is a lot of other references to different books etc used,p and I feel that non-avid readers would struggle to stay interested. However, I do love the interactive element, allowing the reader to be able to access the text and fill in sections relevant to themselves.

This is a very interesting and informative book on body positivity for teens, there are tips for thought changing, which I thought were very helpful. It is short so it will be a quick read but I will be very useful to teens who need it. I would really recommend it.

I highly recommend this insightful workbook which uses a plethora of cognitive behavioural, dialectical, and narrative therapeutic approaches to revolutionise healthy eating for teens!

A simple guide and workbook for teenagers about facing body image, weight and health issues.



This is a positive guide to help teens reevaluate how they view and judge themselves and their body from not taking the scale at face value or comparing themselves constantly to others in the media or around them.



With space to write and tips for thought changing, this book will help them understand and adapt their bad thoughts into positive ones to help them in the future and grow from where they are now.



It may be small but this book could be life changing for many youngsters in my opinion and avoid many body based issues in my opinion.



Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
