A Body to Love - by Angelina Caruso (Paperback)

About the Book

"To Angelina Caruso, recovery meant finding her tribe -- people that offered support, encouragement, and zero judgment. But she never imagined she would find her community online. A lesson on positively navigating body image, A Body to Love reveals a world where social media is used for self-care rather than self-judgement. Part social media guide and part body image workbook, this fresh take on social networks follows the author's personal battle with a near-fatal eating order, the online relationships that helped her heal, and the eventual community she cultivated. Featuring bonus charts, journal prompts, and recipes for mindful eating, you'll learn to: recognize red flags; rebuild yourself as a mindful consumer; raise others up as a content producer"-Back cover.

Forming healthy relationships with the internet. To Angelina Caruso, recovery meant finding her tribe―a community that offered support, encouragement, and zero judgement.

• Breathing exercises
• Bonus recipes for mindful eating
• And much more!
