Americans boast the largest waistlines in the world, suffering from
epidemic levels of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and heart
disease. Britain is not far behind and other nations with
first-world affluence are all wrestling to varying degrees with
this problem too. Even countries in the earlier stages of
industrialization are starting to get caught up in the battle of
the bulge. Despite the fact that we are all, on average, quite
overweight, our cultural media promotes a "cult of the thin and
beautiful". All of us are bombarded with images and messages all
day that lead many to unhealthful obsessions with the shape of
their bodies. At best, these body-image issues can be unpleasant
and distracting from the goal of being healthy and happy. At worst
they can lead to serious mental health problems like body
dysmorphic disorder (BDD) or eating disorders such as anorexia or
bulimia nervosa.This revised edition of a classic workbook presents
a complete approach to dealing with body image issues. It includes
new evidence that confirms the effectiveness of its cognitive
behavioural approach. The book presents new discussions of cosmetic
surgery, weight loss, and other body-fixing options, as well as
information for persons with physically disfiguring conditions. A
major shift in this edition orients this book with others grounded
in the tradition of mindfulness and acceptance.
