# 230 How To Improve Your Body Image and Enjoy Life Part 2

My No.1 bestselling book, FULL: THE EMPTINESS OF OVEREATING, is available here. Many people don't just want to lose weight. They unknowingly use their weight, shape and appearance as a measure of their worth, confidence and success. A bad photo, a fluctuation on the scale or a moment of self-consciousness can have an enormous impact on mood and behaviour. We'll discuss how to reduce the importance of weight and shape without pretending appearance doesn't matter. Topics include body checking, tying self-worth to appearance, the subconcious fears beneath weight gain, and why constantly monitoring your body keeps it at the centre of your life.
