Reading Waldman's piece left me anxious. I'm 31 and have a pretty healthy physical self-image; it was hard to read her self-loathing, and to know so many of my friends struggle with those issues as well.
I think any woman raised in America has to grapple with this (and I do think it's a feminist issue); I don't have any easy answers, but I would like to suggest two books that helped me understand myself with compassion and even some humor:
When You Eat In Front Of The Refridgerator, Pull Up A Chair
by Geneen Roth
A Hunger So Wide and So Deep: American Women Speak Out on Eating Problems
by Becky W. Thompson
Happy eating to all,
Tory L. Davis
