This background, coupled with her fervent belief in size acceptance, has led to her co-authoring the “LEFTOVERS Workbook/DVD set.” Click here to see the trailer. In addition to being a co-author and original cast member of “LEFTOVERS: THE UPS AND DOWNS OF A COMPULSIVE EATER,” her training in Art Therapy is apparent in her latest book, Dr. Deah’s Calmanac, an interactive monthly guide for cultivating a positive body image. You can read more of Dr. Deah’s musings in her syndicated blog, Tasty Morsels, that she hopes will provide assistance in defining one’s own standard of beauty and finding ways to make peace with one’s body.
