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.
