Katherine Schwarzenegger's First Book: Rock What You've Got
Tuesday, September 14, 2010 Posted by relentless
During her fourth grade Katherine struggled to keep her weight below 100 pounds. However, she never developed eating disorder and now she keeps her size 6 figure by working out one hour and a half a day, plus yoga and spinning.
"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, she said in a press release about the book. You don't have to look like you're on a billboard to feel beautiful. I really wanted to correct girls' perception of that."
The 20 year old Katherine who is now junior at the University of Southern California said her inspiration for writing this book was when she overheard her cousins talking about calories.
They're 8 years old and were talking about how they don't want to be fat, and how they want to be 'sexy', she said.By writing this book she hopes to inspire the young girls to keep clear of craze with their weights and looks. Another form of saying "Be yourself!"
I never thought I would write a book," she said in the release. "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.
