LOVED THIS BOOK
|
After reading this book, I was impressed with Rachael's determination to overcome the issues that faced her in life. Many people would have given up, but Rachael was willing to try almost anything to live a life of intention. At times, she faced criticism, failure, and heartache. But, she persevered by learning, listening, and taking action.
This is the only self-help book about living with BDD. That makes sense to me... about this hidden illness in society, (which I thought focused only on image. Till it was medically proven in America that it is a real brain deformity). Till watching GMTV and Am I Normal? (BBC2), with Dr Tanya Byron. I never realised how serious this illness was. I had tears in my eyes most of the time when reading this book. My sister is a model and could relate to some of Rachael's problems. Racheal is a true survivor.
Reading this book really was, the best thing I did!

Really Positve Book
|
This book is truly motivational and inspirational because it does not only talk about the medical issues around this girls illness but gives you an insight to the every day build up that could have contributed to this type of illness.
In the book the girl talks about so many things that happen in lots of peoples lives, that we all take for granted starting from us as Parents, Mothers, Sisters, Brothers, Friends and Family's in general.
It seems to me that we can all makes mistakes in life and till we read a book like this we may not always notice!
If you're ready to begin to overcome past experiences and choices that are holding you down... Then I would say that this book would be a good read for you!
This inspiring story will help you begin to institute that desired change - within yourself
This is definitely one of the books that will uniquely charge you to begin to recognise and nullify long-held, counterproductive limiting thoughts, and self-doubt.
When this book came to my attention I was first impressed by the cover-but you know what they say... "You can't judge a book by its cover" What it means is that before you can judge something, you need to take a deeper, closer look at it.
The book also talks about against size zero models, which is a much-needed subject, as I am a larger person.
Excellent read!

A great read, really inspiring
|
My Sister gave me this book to read and said I would enjoy it. She was right. I couldn't put it down. I thought the butterfly girl is so real and I really cared what happened to her in her poor life as a young girl. I think we can all identify with this girl one way or another. This young girl makes you realise how fragile life can make you. It really stays in my mind and I'm sure I'll read it again and again. A lovely book.
This book is a gem! It is a wonderful, easy read well worth reading!
