Women's Online "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 book The F*ck It Diet: Eating Should Be Easy by Caroline Dooner.

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:

In The F*ck It Diet, Caroline Dooner tackles the inherent flaws of dieting and diet culture, and offers readers a counterintuitively simple path to healing their physical, emotional, and mental relationship with food. What’s the secret anti-diet? Eat. Whatever you want. Honor your appetite and listen to your hunger. Trust that your body knows what it is doing. Oh, and don’t forget to rest, breathe, and be kind to yourself while you’re at it. Once you get yourself out of survival mode, it will become easier and easier to eat what your body really needs—a healthier relationship with food ultimately leads to a healthier you.
