Publisher's Synopsis
This study transforms the way people view their bodies and themselves. People are all victims of body traps. They arise from the anguish over how they look, anxiety over what they are doing to make themselves attractive, feelings of shame for worrying about it and ignorance about how to free themselves.;After 20 years of research into eating disorders and obesity, as well as studying people of normal weight, Judith Rodin has come to realize how many people compromise whole areas of their lives by falling into traps such as dieting rituals. Rodin opens the reader's eyes to exactly what these traps are, and gives techniques and case histories of how to avoid them.
