This book changed my life. Discovering Roth’s wisdom was nothing short of a life raft when I was drowning.

After the birth of my third child, I struggled with very disordered eating. Trapped in an obese body and perpetual cycle of failed dieting attempts, I read and reread this book and slowly began breaking free of my own.

From Jane's list on cutting through the insanity of diet culture.
