Geezes christ. This book was NOT easy to listen to. It really really wasn't.
Why? Not because it was a bad book. It was fucking brilliant!!! And everyone should listen to it. No, it was because I recognized myself in so much, and how much damage that has done to how I look at my body. During my entire life, from when I was very very little. My earliest memories. I mean... And I didn't even connect it to that!
And it makes me terrified to how we might influence kiddo... Gladly, as I was listening, I came to the conclusion we do a lot right already. Weight and look has never been something important here. We don't talk about it. A body is a body is a body. What I've learned I need to do more is to talk about the ideal of beauty in sociaty to. What she sees in her Disney-movies and other cartoons. In fairy tales. And in news-papers and magazines. That's the next step. Not easy, but it will be done.
I hope I can save my kiddo from any form of eating disorder, be it any kind at all!
An important book! EVERYONE should read it! (If you know swedish...)
