    About this ebook

    This uplifting and inspirational guide and workbook provides an eye-opening framework to help heal your negative attitudes about body size and self-worth and powerful new insights to raise your self-esteem and confidence. Every woman who has ever looked in a mirror and winced or turned away from their reflection, will find comfort and inspiration in the cheerful and loving words of this motivational book based on the author's personal experience and deep emotional and spiritual wisdom about really seeing our own beauty and power and worth, regardless of body shape or size or weight. In the author's own words: "In my family, being fat was considered a sin. Well, to be honest, being overweight was a sin and fat well THAT was just completely unacceptable! From a very early age, I got the message that something was wrong with my size and that it was all my fault. I learned very early in life that my body was something to be ashamed of, and I unconsciously adopted the belief that I, as a human being, was a failure because of how I looked. It's taken me the better part of 50 years to finally get the message that my value as a human being is not defined by a number on the scale or the size of my clothes. And to also understand that my size is nothing to be ashamed of!" The messages and daily practices offered in this book will give you the courage to look in a mirror with pride and joy, perhaps for the first time in your life and be able to see your TRUE beauty at last!

      Beautiful At Every Size - Stephanie Rainbow Bell

      Introduction
