An Alternative to the Vogue Approach

When I read about the mom who put her 8-year-old on a diet, it hammered home to me how broken our national narrative about child weight is. We have no script, and the ones that are being written (like the Vogue approach) should be left on the cutting room floor. Here's an excerpt from the chapter on Protecting the Next Generation from The Woman in the Mirror. I don't have all of the answers either

Quotes by Cynthia M. Bulik (?)

“Often, we may feel a wave of inspiration come over us, but then it passes, sometimes too quickly for us to act on it. Waiting for inspiration is like waiting for a bus that has stopped running on a particular route; you've got to find the new route if you want to catch a bus and get to where you want to go.”
― Cynthia M. Bulik, Crave: Why You Binge Eat and How to Stop
