Self-Esteem Without Size is Carmo Souza Lara’s account of her life story and how she accepted not only her “exuberant appearance” but also her “out of tune” body. The author also suggests practical exercises to change mindsets.
From the time she was a little girl, Carmo Souza Lara was told that her personality was “exuberant” and that she was very conspicuous. «I should have been a reserved, unobtrusive, quiet, controlled person, when in fact, I was not. She made noise, filled rooms, burst into laughter, had crazy ideas, never stopped, was so energetic and creative, she wanted more,” she writes right at the beginning of Uma Autoestima no Size — I want, I can, I can, edited by Contraponto.
After many diets and some eating disorders, Carmo Souza Lara started the path of self-knowledge which was the key to liking herself more and achieving the dreams she always had.
This book, which takes the body as a starting point, is for all women, of all ages. Through many practical exercises, the author is the friend who will accompany the readers in this change, where, for example, toxic language is replaced with praise and unrealistic standards are replaced by a healthy relationship with the mirror.
