If you have ever struggled with your body image, emotional eating, restrictive or binge eating, cyclical dieting, or general food drama, The Empowered Body was written for you. Imagine not being constantly consumed by thoughts of food, your body, and your weight. How much more time would you have for far more important things in your life - things that actually bring you joy and fulfillment? In The Empowered Body, Emily delves into her own personal story and negative relationship with her body and food to show readers that there is a way out, and it's not nearly as hard as you think. She reveals the tools and techniques she used to release her need for control around food and her body and, ultimately, reach a place of liberation around food, love for her own body, and a fulfilling life. Written with authenticity and passion, The Empowered Body shows readers that it is possible to attain freedom from the shackles of dieting. With practical tools and easy-to-follow guidelines, readers can say goodbye to endless hours of deliberation over what foods are "acceptable" and good riddance to dieting rules and programs forever. Empowerment is the name of the game here, and Emily guides readers away from the constant chatter surrounding diets and towards a connection with their body and food in order to regain their power and, ultimately, become their own health guru. If you're ready for change and to finally make peace with food and your body once and for all, you've found your path. Welcome aboard!

From body-positive Instagram influencer and content creator Meg Boggs, an inclusive and empowering fitness and lifestyle guide to inspire readers of every shape and size. For years, Meg Boggs believed the narrative told to her by society: she thought that as a plus-sized woman, she could never be fit; she could never be strong; she could never love exercise; she could never be enough. But when Meg became a mom, she decided to rethink her preconceived notions and embrace her body for what it is, not what diet culture said it should be. In Fitness for Every Body, Meg shares her personal story and inspires you to celebrate your own body for all its capabilities. Featuring a dozen step-by-step, full-body workouts, this book is more than a workout guide or a training manual. It’s a reminder that you’re more than just your weight, that you are stronger than you believe, and that just because you might not be thin, doesn’t mean that you can’t be an athlete. Your body is capable of doing incredible things—you just have to let it. Equally uplifting and enlightening, this body-positive fitness guide will inspire you to love your body no matter your size and to approach food and exercise in a way that benefits both mental and physical health and wellbeing.
