I used to spend endless time, energy, and money on diet and exercise programs. I believed that if I could just have the “perfect body,” then I would finally be happy. Thinner came ... thinner went, but it was never enough because I had tied my self-worth to numbers on a scale and calories on a wrapper.

“For topics so nuanced, despicably monetized, and often traumatizing, Mary tackles body image, diet culture, and self acceptance masterfully. She seamlessly weaves together data, anecdotes, and poignant questions to paint a picture of what self-love could look like in the real, everyday version of our lives if we’re brave enough to reach out and take it.”
“Through a lens of Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size, Mary has written a supportive, encouraging book to help you fight diet culture and come to a place of gratitude for the mere existence of your body. By relating to her personal story, Mary will help you see that you’re not alone in your struggles with food and your body and will give you the courage to make the changes you need to live a trusting, sensual, and meaningful life. I highly recommend this beautiful, compassionate book for all who need a guidebook toward self-appreciation and self-love.”

I love hosting retreats, but I know they're not accessible to everyone so the book was my way of putting everything I teach at retreats, into an interactive workbook.
I wish I had something like this when I was younger like high school/ college age.
I think we all know what we "should" do, but it's so hard to put it into practice. TGSL gives them the time, space, and guidance to put the self-love tools into practice right away.
