Break the Binds of Weight Stigma Paperback – October 19, 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
"I can't do that until I've lost a bit of weight". "I need to slim down first". "When I'm thinner I'll..."
What if you didn't feel held back by your body? This guide helps you to free yourself from harmful social attitudes about weight and to start living now.
Break the Binds of Weight Stigma draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a positive, action-based form of therapy that works by accepting your natural emotions and using your own personal values to build a path to the life you want to live. Stories, worksheets, reflection questions, and guided exercises show you how to embrace yourself and fight back against the social structures that tie value to size.
This is not a book about changing your body or losing weight. It's a guide to help you connect with the things that are important to you regardless of your weight. It's a step towards countering the harmful messages in society about our bodies. It's a movement. It's radical. It's freedom.

In each activity, Dr. Pegrum nudges you a little closer to self-acceptance; building clarity and holding you by the hand along a pathway in what could feel like an impenetrable forest of shame and struggle. Read this book to navigate your way toward a kinder, more generous, and more compassionate relationship with your body and yourself.--Jennifer Kemp, Clinical Psychologist and author of The ACT Workbook for Perfectionism
If you are struggling with weight stigma and feel like you are trapped in forest of pain, self-judgment, and cultural bias, this book provides a roadmap to freedom.--Steven C. Hayes, Ph.D. Originator of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
