About the author
Golda Poretsky
1 book41 followersI’ve been just where you are. I spent 24 years of my life on and off diets. I hated my body, obsessed over food, and wouldn’t let myself really live until I lost more weight. But with a lot of support (and trial and error), I finally made peace with food and my body.
I founded Body Love Wellness is 2008 for women like me and you. Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of clients finally get off the dieting roller coaster, develop healthy eating patterns, feel confident and at home in their bodies, no matter what their size. Using a unique combination of judgment-free coaching, Divine Feminine connection, and Health At Every Size principles, I support my clients in living the lives they were meant to live.
My programs and activism work have been featured on CBS’s The Early Show, ABC’s Nightline, NBC’s LX New York and in Time Out New York.
One of my biggest passions is writing. I've had my own blog for over 4 years, and I'm a featured weekly columnist at Persephone Magazine and More of Me to Love and has written for Jezebel.com and Daily Venus Diva. I'm also featured in Big Big Love: a Sex and Relationships Guide for People of Size (and Those Who Love Them), by Hanne Blank and the upcoming anthology Hot & Heavy: Fierce Fat Girls on Life, Love & Fashion, edited by Virgie Tovar.
You can also check out my book, Stop Dieting Now: 25 Reasons To Stop, 25 Ways To Heal, available in softcover, Kindle, and Nook.

I received this book as a free download on National No Diet Day.
I wish I could tell you that I learned something, but I didn't, not really. You see, as a lifelong dieter, I KNEW all of the information presented already. I knew it. I know it. But it was very nice to have it backed up by someone who knows a little something about what she's talking about.
What did I know?
That diets don't work. That they cause more harm than good. That the diet industry is huge and that there are a lot of people making a lot of money by making people in general and women specifically hate the bodies to which they were born. That it is possible to be healthy at any size. That your body knows what it needs to nourish itself with a greater measure of authority than any diet plan.
I know.
I need to be reminded from time to time.
Thanks for the reminder, Ms. Poretsky. I hope that this lovely volume finds its way into many hands.
