  <default-description>Frustrated by the often unrealistic standards of beauty presented by today&amp;#8217;s media, many women have become trapped in a never-ending pattern of chronic dieting. Daily they endure destructive self-talk such as &amp;#8220;I can&amp;#8217;t eat that or I&amp;#8217;ll get fat&amp;#8221; or &amp;#8220;If I could just lose a few more pounds everything would be better.&amp;#8221; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Chronic dieters may be any shape or size but they have one thing in common: They are often left to suffer alone with an undiagnosed &amp;#8220;sub-clinical&amp;#8221; eating disorder. Such sub-clinical disorders include eating habits that are unusual, even unhealthy, but do not fit the technical classifications of anorexia or bulimia. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Addressing the many dimension of &amp;#8220;chronic dieting,&amp;#8221; &lt;i&gt;Life Inside the &amp;#8220;Thin&amp;#8221; Cage&lt;/i&gt; offers a wake-up call and practical steps to those who need healing. Readers will find personal stories, insights into their secret patterns and habits, reassurance that they are not alone, checklists, self-tests, and, best of all, a new road to emotional, physical, mental and spiritual freedom&lt;i&gt;.&lt;/i&gt; </default-description>
