I haven’t shared a lot of book launches lately, but I wanted to let you know about this one because I’m so passionate about the message! I actually got the book and read it yesterday, because I wanted to be sure it passed my non-diet, weight inclusive approach to health. And it does! I didn’t find it harmful like I do with most Christian body image or weight/health books now that I’m reading with an anti-diet culture lens.

(I haven’t really talked about it, but I’ve been on a several year journey of deconstructing diet culture and my beliefs about food, exercise, and weight that were highly problematic and kept me in disordered eating/diets/”wellness” for quite some time. Anyway, I know I’ve posted content in the past that I don’t believe any more, and I’m truly sorry and sad if I’ve caused anyone to feel bad in their bodies, eat in a disordered way, or pursue weight loss instead of strength and health. 🙁 They say when we know better, we do better, and I hope to become a little more outspoken about my journey at some point. I’m just not quite there yet though. Hopefully soon!)

If you have ever struggled with body image, this is a fabulous book. I cried at some point in basically every chapter. But I also realized how far I’ve come, and how so much of this is what I’m trying to teach my daughters. And that is why I am highly recommending it. She lays it all out so eloquently and beautifully, and she wants women to walk in freedom in their bodies! And so do I! That is my rallying cry right now.

I know it’s hard. I have three teenage daughters and the culture is brutal. That’s why I want you to get this book and find freedom for yourself, and share that freedom with others!

Anyway, today is the last day you can buy Breaking Free from Body Shame and get the launch gifts. If you buy one copy, you’ll get a free month in Good Body Gals with live teachings and workouts. If you purchase two (so you can give one away), you’ll get the Body Shame Detox course free! Just go here to find out more about these bonuses. (Just click on the “Free Bonuses” box.)

Say yes to #freegirlsummer!
