Women's Eastside In-Person "Ditch Diet Culture" Book Club/Discussion Group

This is a monthly book club to discuss books that address food, eating and body image, in a way that is positive, empowering and educational. This group is for women who are tired of trying all the latest diets, only to feel worse about themselves in the long-term than when they started. Are you ready to ditch diet culture and learn about an alternative approach that shifts the guilt and shame about food and body into curiosity and self-compassion? Are you ready to feel free with food, weight and body image?

At this month's meeting, we will discuss The Invisible Corset: Break Free from Beauty Culture and Embrace Your Radiant Self" by Lauren Geertsen

Read the book prior to attending, or just come for the discussion! We will start with introductions and then have time for everyone to share their opinions about the book and ask questions.

Book Summary:

Learn how the invisible corset cuts women off from their intuition, pleasure and power, why the body positivity movement often worsens self-criticism, how to raise daughters who feel confident and connected to their bodies, how to develop a healthy relationship with food, weight, aging, and beauty products, and try out journaling prompts, rituals, meditations, and other exercises to unravel the strings of the corset.
