Book
The heavy : a mother, a daughter, a diet : a memoir / Dara-Lynn Weiss.
As the author explains, the "mommy wars" were never more clear than over the issue of her 7-year-old daughter's weight. Some moms looked down on her for "letting" Bea get clinically obese. But that's nothing compared with the scorn others offered when Dara put Bea on a strict calorie-counting diet. Some said she was clearly seeding body image issues; many others suggested the pat, "healthier" food route. Weiss shares her family's harrowing and haunting journey through Bea's considerable weight loss (Bea is no longer considered overweight), while the scrutiny and commentary swirled around them.
