Rethinking dieting in midlife – What if there's a better way?

The message women hear for most of their lives is this: if you're not happy in your body, just go on a diet. And many of us do. Again and again. We buy the shakes, cut the carbs, count the calories. But what if the problem isn't your body, but the belief that you need fixing?
