Frustrated by the often unrealistic standards of beauty
presented by today’s media, many women have become trapped in a
never-ending pattern of chronic dieting. Daily they endure
destructive self-talk such as “I can’t eat that or I’ll get fat” or
“If I could just lose a few more pounds everything would be
better.”
Chronic dieters may be any shape or size but they have one thing
in common: They are often left to suffer alone with an undiagnosed
“sub-clinical” eating disorder. Such sub-clinical disorders include
eating habits that are unusual, even unhealthy, but do not fit the
technical classifications of anorexia or bulimia.
Addressing the many dimension of “chronic dieting,” Life Inside
the “Thin” Cage offers a wake-up call and practical steps to those
who need healing. Readers will find personal stories, insights into
their secret patterns and habits, reassurance that they are not
alone, checklists, self-tests, and, best of all, a new road to
emotional, physical, mental and spiritual freedom.
