Title: Pathetic
Product review: It's a very sad and telling thing when a woman like Estrich, a feminist with magnificent professional acheivements, can seriously say that nothing she has ever accomplished in her life has made her prouder, happier, or more fulfilled than losing weight and that she can only feel good about herself when she looks good.Nothing? Not her professional achievements? Not the birth of her children? And she can't feel good about herself when she merely DOES good? This is especially warped, considering that Estrich was never any bigger than a size 12 or 14 to begin with.Eating right and exercising regularly are both very good things that are well worth pursuing, but one's body size is a very shaky platform on which to base one's self esteem.My advice would be to eat healthy foods, engage regularly in some exercise you enjoy, and read "Self Esteem Comes in All Sizes" by Carol Johnson instead of this book. Too bad Estrich didn't read this book first before writing this one.
