A workbook for all eating disorders and all body sizes.

If you have an eating disorder, such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating, or emotional eating, you may also struggle with negative body image that's made worse by diet culture, television, magazines, movies, and social media. Despite popular belief, not all people who struggle with eating disorders are tiny or thin. Eating disorders can affect people of all genders, ethnicities, and agesβ€”as well as all shapes and sizes. That's why you need a weight-inclusive approachβ€”one that prioritizes your mental and physical health without perpetuating weight stigma.

Written by three clinical psychologists who specialise in eating disorders, this workbook offers a powerful new approach grounded in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) called CBT-Weight Inclusive (CBT-WI), to help you heal from body shame, reject diet culture, and find lasting recovery. As you work through the book, you will never be asked to weigh yourself, compute your BMI, or restrict your eating. Instead, you will discover insights to help you better understand your eating disorder, and find proven-effective tools and strategies to cultivate radical body acceptance.

This weight-inclusive workbook will help you:

  • Listen to and trust your body's cues around eating
  • Overcome purging, excessive exercising, and counting calories
  • Appreciate your body
  • Tolerate distressing feelings and sensations
  • Understand weight stigma and stand up to diet culture
  • Advocate for size-inclusive healthcare
  • Set boundaries with friends and family
  • Prevent relapse

If you're searching for a weight-inclusive approach, this workbook will help you overcome the negative, internalised messages about weight that are perpetuated by diet culture. You can feel at home in your body, improve your mental and physical health, and make positive changes in all aspects of your life.
