Product Description

Countless women today are weighted down by the thought that they are not thin enough, pretty enough, young enough, or good enough. While bookstore shelves are well stocked with advice on how to overcome body image problems, very few take a faith-based, much less Catholic, approach to self-healing. Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body speaks not only to those who may have faced an eating disorder, but also to anyone who wants to live an abundant life, unencumbered by society's obsession with thinness, physical beauty, youth, or food.

Weightless offers:
Personal stories that debunk cultural myths about beauty
Spiritual tools to help address common struggles
Meditations to reshape the way a woman views herself
Discussion questions for personal or group reflection

Kate Wicker manages to perfectly blend her personal experiences with statistics, Bible verses, and quotes from Church leaders to produce a book that will help all Catholic women feel better about the bodies given them. Without sugar coating or pressuring to ignore our physical appearances all together, Wicker offers sound advice like the counsel of a wise older sister to help readers make peace with their bodies.*I received a free copy of this book for review purposes for my blog but was not obligated to write a positive review or to write a review here on the product site at all.
