The book will come out next week according to a statement Friday from the Annenberg School of Journalism in Southern California, where she is a student.The book deals with eating disorders, self-esteem problems and body image issues.Schwarzenegger said she was inspired to write the book after overhearing her eight-year-old cousins worry about being too fat and not sexy enough.
“I want girls to read this and feel that it’s OK to be themselves—and to understand that every girl can be beautiful no matter what size and shape she is,” Katherine says. “You don’t have to look like you’re on a billboard to feel beautiful. I really wanted to correct girls’ perception of that.”
Katherine’s book describes growing up as the daughter of a famous bodybuilder-turned-blockbuster celebrity and a mother who built a successful career in front of the camera. Maria Shriver had also suffered her share of body-image pressures, growing up under the strict food rules of mother Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who was 5’9” and never weighed more than 100 pounds during most of her adult life. But she credits her parents with the firm, but supportive, upbringing that made her feel secure and ultimately steered her toward mature decisions. Her mother, she says, was not one of the “cool” moms; she was reassuring and never judgmental, but she wasn’t a pushover. There was no negotiating.
“Throughout the book, you get a sense of how real they really are and how they’re really like every other parent,” Katherine says. “They deal with the exact same issues every other parent deals with.”
She also weaves expert interviews throughout the book, as well as statistics on eating disorders, body-image issues, plastic surgery and birth control. Her “Moms Only” sections offer advice on raising healthy teen and preteen girls. Katherine also encourages adolescent readers to strengthen their ties and seek advice from their mothers as they struggle with self-doubts.
“I never thought I would write a book,” she admits. “But my fuel came from research and information on the growing number of girls who feel so much pressure to be thin—and how young all of this is starting. My goal is to let girls know they’re not alone when they’re going through this and to spread the word about what young girls are going through today. Society needs to know about the kind of pressure that is put on girls. We have to change it in some way.”
