I CLASSIC CUISINE
Amami by Council of Orthodox Rabbis
7-
eslie Goldman was at a fra-
ternity party at the University
of Wisconsin when anorexia
entered her life. The Chicago native
noticed trendy coeds from the East
Coast and began comparing her self-
image to the way they appeared.
In her mind, she did not measure
up to what she considered their good
looks.
The next day,
Goldman decreased
her food intake and
increased her run-
ning routine. Before
very long, she lim-
ited her diet to 600
calories a day.
At the time of the
original self-exami-
nation, Goldman
was almost 6 feet
tall and trim. Her
regimen quickly
Leslie Goldman
brought her down
30 pounds, and she
seemed sickly.
A. positive change came after
Goldman visited home, and family
members encouraged her to enter a
program sponsored by the National
Association of Anorexia Nervosa and
Associated Disorders. With a promise
to continue therapy, she returned to
school.
Goldman realized that comparing
oneself to others often can be lop-
sided and detrimental and has writ-
ten a book to that effect — Locker
Room Diaries: The Naked Truth
About Women, Body Image, and Re-
Imagining the "Perfect" Body (Da Capo
Lifelong Books; $23).
The author, often wrapped only in
a towel, did lots of research in locker
rooms, interviewing and listening in
as women discussed dissatisfaction
with their bodies. She kept journals
over a span of five years and used her
research for the book.
Goldman, who holds degrees in
nutrition and public health, writes
about health issues for the American
Medical Association and women's
magazines and will be talking about
her findings as she signs copies of
her book 7 p.m. Thursday, June 22, at
Barnes & Noble Booksellers in West
Bloomfield.
"I hope that readers come away
realizing — whether they're in locker
rooms or not — that the women next
to them are not perfect," says Goldman,
30, who is very explicit as she describes
the unclad features she has observed.
"We all have our flaws and bright
spots, and it's time to stop measuring
ourselves strictly by what
scales show. It's time to
appreciate everything our
bodies have to offer and
loving ourselves for the
people we are."
Goldman's chapters
cover individual body
parts, pregnancy and
bikini waxes — areas
usually covered up. There
is no soft-soaping her
comments about women
as they head for the
showers.
"I saw a lot of young
Jewish women suffering
with eating disorders, and I think that
might have to do with the fact that they
are brought up in households that put
a premium on their striving to be the
best," Goldman says. "That's the kind of
thing that ties in quite often with eat-
ing disorders."
The author credits her husband,
Michigan native Dan Alter, a mort-
gage broker, for understanding during
the tough times. They were friends
who met at college in Madison before
becoming romantically involved and
marrying two years ago.
Her father-in-law, Peter Alter, is
president of the Jewish Federation
of Metropolitan Detroit, and the
couple has joined him for a tour of
Israel. Goldman and her husband
have become active \\, ith the Jewish
United Fund-Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Chicago with his dad as a
community role model. Li
