I want you to be able to
step away from
controlling diets

and toward a more balanced way of eating. Normalizing your eating habits by listening to what your body needs can bring you emotional peace and physical satisfaction, and help repair your relationship with food by putting the responsibility for your choices squarely in your own hands.

If you let it, diet culture will take away your power when it comes to food. It will convince you that your body can’t be trusted, and that you’re incapable of managing your eating on your own…there’s big money to be made in convincing you to give over your power in order to be a loyal, lifetime follower.

Kind Words

Abby Langer’s new book has a simple, but much needed, message: ditch the diet culture. Hear, hear! This highly readable book maps a hype-free path to a realistic, sustainable, and healthy relationship with food and eating. Along the way – with clarity and humor – Langer takes on celebrity culture, the diet and wellness industries, and our society’s wayward obsession with youth and thinness. A timely, fun, and science-informed read!

Whatever your goal is, you need to do it for you. No matter what your size is, if you like the way you look, then everyone else can piss off. People who look at you funny or make ugly comments about your weight are projecting their shit onto you. Don’t let them get away with it by submitting to their shaming.
