Changing the paradigm : from "the religion of thinness" to practicing peace with our bodies -- From illusion to insight : dispelling "the myth of thinness" and creating a new sense of purpose -- From idolatry to inspiration : seeing through "the icons of thinness" and finding new sources for self-definition -- From control to connection : "the rituals of thinness" and our need for transformation -- From judgment to responsibility : "the morality of thinness" and our need for virtue -- From conformity to self-acceptance : "the community of thinness" and our need for unconditional love -- From escape to presence : "the salvation of thinness" and our need for peace.
