Body image is more important to us now than ever before, and it can sometimes seem that life is beautiful only if you're beautiful yourself. We spend so much time and effort trying to measure up to a glossy magazine ideal that we make our lives miserable in the process as our appearance is never 'good enough' for us. But now TV psychologist Dr Linda Papadopoulos has created the programme we all want to turn our relationship with our body into a positive one, and to feel truly great about ourselves. On a mission to curb the powerful voice of cultural pressure Dr Linda cuts through the beauty myths promoted by society. She explains the processes that lead to our poor body image and to the negative behaviour that reinforces our pessimistic views. Her practical, reassuring programme tackles the five key areas where negative body image hits us hardest - food, shopping, relationships & sex, work, and ageing.
She shows how to reverse our negative self perception and revolutionise the way we feel about ourselves forever: Ditch the diet guilt and enjoy your relationship with food; Love the way you look in the changing room mirror; Make your body work for you in relationships; Hold yourself confidently in the world of work; Resist the botox and age with beauty
