About the author...
Kathy Kater, LICSW has treated body image, eating, nutrition, fitness and weight concerns for over 30 years.

This comprehensive prevention curriculum, published in 1998, was among the first of its kind to demonstrate significant, measurable improvement in weight related attitudes among pubescent children.
