Looking to boost your body image? Want some words of wisdom while you work on your self-esteem?

I read about this book, but have not actually reviewed it. Anyway, I thought I'd pass the link along:
Love Your Belly

This book, I have read. In fact, it's on my bookshelf right now and I've been known to re-read certain affirming sections.
I highly recommend it even if not all sections pertain to your life:
Big Big Love: A Sourcebook on Sex for People of Size by Hanne Blank. (scroll down to the bottom of the page)


Anyone else with positive plus-size reading suggestions?

I saw Hanne do an author's reading from the book in Seattle. It was not only very affirming but very instructional in helping people of size overcome the physical challenges that sometimes prevent good sex.

What's on my summer reading list? I'm more partial to blogs than books these days. Now if I can only get my internet connection to the beach smile.gif

Looking for size positive romance stories?
Found this while doing a search:

Pat Ballard... self-described Queen of Rubenesque Romance

Bountiful Women

"Bountiful Women is a delicious gift, a fascinating, must-read, for the bountiful women of the world and the people who love them! An upbeat, wise, and delightfully honest guidebook for large women, it is chock full of practical information and creative strategies for physical and emotional well-being.

It gives the kind of support every large woman needs to take charge of her own life, to know that she is entitled to life's bounty, and to enjoy it to the fullest . . . "



I found it on the web, might be worth checking out at the library...
