A Note to Readers from Laura Lee: I wrote this book because I know what it’s like to have poor body image. “Body image” can mean different things to different people, but the way I define it is how I see my body. That’s what this book is about—understanding the physical properties of the mirror so that you can see your body in a realistic way. With some practice, I became an expert at using the mirror and you can too. I wrote this book for girls, teenagers and college-age women who have the same problems as I did. This population is particularly vulnerable to body image problems. If I had known these techniques when I was that age, I would have been much happier with my body and myself. After reading this book, I want you to be able to look in the mirror and see your body as it truly is—without distortions. As a teen, I wasted time and energy in the mirror when I could have been accomplishing so much more. How would your life be different if you were free from the mirror’s power over you?
