Would you start another diet if you knew it would probably fail? Would you love your body if our culture didn't tell you it was wrong?

Lotta Dann's journey with extreme dieting and drastic weight loss led to endless praise for her skinny body. But no one knew what she had to do to maintain it.

When the weight came back on, Lotta started asking fundamental questions that she'd never considered before.

Why do we believe that to be healthy you must be skinny? Why do we think any measure of fat on our body is bad? Why do so many of us hate our bodies? And why do we spend so much time, money and energy trying to shrink ourselves?

The answers surprised her, angered her, and ultimately empowered her. She thinks they will do the same for you.
