We Need A Little Update

I recently finished reading Eating in the Light of the Moon by Anita Jonhston, PhD. *POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT* Rating: 2/5 stars


"By weaving practical insights and exercises through a rich tapestry of multicultural myths, ancient legends, and folktales, Anita Johnston helps the millions of women preoccupied with their weight discover and address the issues behind their negative attitudes toward food." Wow, this book has 5 stars from so many people. I just didn't enjoy it. The writing is dull and repetitive, although there are a few nice thoughts hidden in it. The stories she retells are famous and not-so-famous folk tales and myths, but she kills the magic in them with her dull writing, so that's not even good.


It is also hard because this book is almost 25 years old, and so much has changed in the world of eating disorders, so there were things that it felt like she missed.


Check out Eating in the Light of the Moon, and understand how women can transform their relationships with food through myths, metaphors, and storytelling.


Happy Reading :)
