star Jackie Goldschneider shocked fans in 2022 when she admitted that she had battled a two-decades long eating disorder and had reached out to The Renfrew Center for Eating Disorders for help. In the years since she has begun her journey to recovery, and has now released her memoir The Weight of Beautiful, an emotional look back over how childhood habits led to a lifetime of calorie counting and body dysmorphia.
Three of my kids are boys, and the concept of starving yourself is almost foreign to them but I have a 13-year-old daughter, Alexis, and every day that she gets older, she's more and more conscious of her body. She complains about her body sometimes even though she's beautiful, andno matter what, but I also know how hard it was for me to be a young girl.
I am 47 now and when you are younger you think that your parents should be perfect people and have all the answers, but later you realize they were just doing their best. I also think about how many times I tried to break my cycle of disastrous relationship with food and the bad habits I probably taught my kids, and how none of it was malicious; it was just all beyond my control.
