This timely book explains what self-image is, how obesity affects the way in which people see themselves, and how they think others see them. Teens learn about self-confidence, judgmental thinking, feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, and the external influences on obesity and self-image, including family members and friends. Strategies for improving self-image, goal-setting, and where to go for help as well as ways to maintain a healthy self-image are covered.
