Shut Up, Skinny Bitches!

Stop dieting and start loving yourself! If you can't stomach one more day of being told you're too fat, then you're ready to try some delicious new brain candy. Skinny is not the cure! Thin is NOT in. There's nothing wrong with you! There never was. Authors Maria Rago, PhD and Greg Archer want you to do one thing: Shut up, and eat! And have fun doing it. Let compassionate guides Maria and Greg show you how listening to your hunger and fullness cues, eating foods you love, and honoring yourself are the best nutrition for your body, mind, and soul.

Maria Rago, Ph. D. is a psychologist and the clinical director of Eating Disorders Services at Linden Oaks Hospital at Edwards. She is president of Rago & Associates Counseling Services in Naperville, Illinois and serves on the Board of Directors of ANAD (Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders). Coca Cola, movie popcorn (with butter, of course) and cheeseburgers rank as her favorite foods.

Greg Archer, OCD is Editor-in-Chief of Mainstreet Media's GTweekly. His profiles on celebrities, and health and eco patriots--near and far--have appeared in Oprah Magazine, The Advocate, Bust and The Huffington Post. He also writes about the arts for the San Francisco Examiner and moonlights as a certified Spin instructor. Mocha chais, Polish dumplings (with melted butter, of course) and thin-crust Chicago-style pizza make him very happy.

Maria and Greg have been close friends since high school. They lived across the street from each other in Elmhurst, Illinois, but never imagined they would write a book together.
