9781742576183 English 1742576184 "Body confidence does not come from trying to achieve the perfect body, it comes from embracing the one you've already got". Lying on the bathroom floor, tears streaming down her face and the dark passenger inside her head is in her element. You are so fat and disgusting. Your body is gross; people are going to talk behind your back. Once you were attractive and now you are nothing more than a sack of fat, cellulite and stretch marks. Taryn doesn't have an eating disorder, she simply hates her body, and decided that there was only one road to take to get my body, I would get cosmetic surgery. I bounced into the surgeon's office and proclaimed, "My body is ruined, can you please put my boobs back where they belong and cut off this hotdog (my tummy)?" But how was she going to teach her daughter to love her body if her Mommy couldn't do the same? It was at this moment I decided to not go ahead with the surgery. Her greatest challenge came next and that was how to love her body without surgery. Learning to love her body from the inside out has made her unstoppable, and now she wants to share her story so she can harness and facilitate positive body image activism and create global change. It's time for women to hang up the body hating, start loving their bodies, and unleash their inner desires. It's time for a movement; it's time for a Body Image Movement., From crying in despair on the bathroom floor to stepping out in stripper heels onto a brightly lit bodybuilding stage, Taryn Brumfitt has had one hell of a journey from body loather to body lover... and she's ready to share it in EMBRACE. After posting a less than traditional 'before' and 'after' photo on social media in 2013, not even Taryn could have anticipated the attention it would gain worldwide in the media, propelling her Body Image Movement into the hearts and homes of millions in Australia to the U.S. and every country in between. With support from celebrities including Ashton Kutcher, Rosie O'Donnell and Zooey Deschanel, along with millions of men and women in over 100 countries, Taryn's brand of honest and witty storytelling will have you both in stitches and in tears. From losing her brother to a heroin addiction and being bullied at school, to embarrassing (yet let's face it, relatable!) toilet tales, EMBRACE will challenge you to reconsider the relationship you have with your body, but above all, will inspire you to embrace a life without boundaries so that you too can love the skin you're in. 'Reading Taryn's book is like making a new best friend. Her caring personality shines through everything she writes about. I thoroughly recommend this book to all women, of every shape and size.' --Ricki Lake
