Author: Dara Chadwick

Format: Paperback

Number of Pages: 256


After gaining 15 kg following the birth of her children, Dara Chadwick won a competition to write a weight-loss diary column for one year for a women's fitness magazine. She also wrote a twice-weekly blog and corresponded with other mothers. She discovered there is a question that plagues mothers everywhere: if I hate my body, how can I teach my daughter to like hers? In this heartfelt and down-to-earth book, Dara offers a pathway towards a solution. Using real stories from other mothers, as well as her experiences with her own thirteen-year-old daughter, she helps women become aware of the negative body-image messages they are unconsciously passing on to their daughters. She shows how to talk about healthy eating and exercise habits, recognise the trigger words that can set off a body-image crisis, and be aware of the early signs that may lead to an eating disorder.
