"Carolyn Costin has given us a welcome and timely update in her new version of Your Dieting Daughter, given that girls are beginning to diet at younger and younger ages and that there is great confusion about dieting and the "obesity crisis." In a lively and engaging style and with wisdom gained from personal experience and years in the field, Carolyn Costin illuminates the issues and offers practical, compassionate, and useful advice for parents and all caregivers." - Jean Kilbourne, EdD, creator of the Killing Us Softly: Advertising's Image of Women film series and author of Can't Buy My Love: How Advertising Changes the Way We Think and Feel.
