Book Giveaway!
June 8, 2009
Via Roni’s recent Facebook post, I found this new book about body image (and what we’re teaching our children) that totally piqued my interest, You’d Be So Pretty If … by Dara Chadwick.
SHAPE magazine readers might remember her as a former weight loss columnist. I loved reading her journey, and am naturally intrigued by the topic of her book. You can check out her blog here.
Her publisher has been sweet enough to send me a copy to review, and an extra as a book giveaway for one of my readers.
And after I receive and review the book, Dara will be stopping by for a blog tour!
If you’re interested in winning a copy, please let me know in the comments below by 10 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday. I’ll choose the winner at random, and let you know by Wednesday morning who won. Only one entry per person, please.

I would love to read this book. I’m nowhere near motherhood BUT I know it’s something that I worry about when the time comes. I do not want the same issues and thoughts I have to affect my future children in any way, and I’d love to hear some inspiring words about dealing with it.

I’ve heard about this book and it looks quite good. I’have noticed myself that things my mom told me when I was in my teen years have resurfaced I never thought much about them at the time but I think of them now and the funny thing is that I am actually trying to get to the weight that I was during that time.
