This professional edition includes both the Instant Help book and a companion CD that offers the complete book and printable worksheets for your clients.

In a country where a woman over a size four rarely makes it onto the cover of a magazine or onto our TV screens, it's not surprising that eating disorders are so prevalent in girls. Whether it's anorexia, bulimia, or bingeing, eating disorders are destructive and potentially deadly. What's Eating You? helps teens develop the self-esteem and self-acceptance that so often eludes girls with eating disorders. It teaches them how to overcome perfectionism, understand the role that family patterns may play in their eating disorder, and change negative self-talk about their body. As important, What's Eating You? shows teens that happiness comes in many sizes.

Bingeing, purging, excessive dieting, and relentless exercising are all destructive behaviors common among young women with eating disorders. The activities in this book help teenage girls understand how their eating behaviors developed, recognize the relationship between their emotions and their eating, and learn to see their bodies in a positive light.
