Journalist and bestselling author Silvia Aeschbach was convinced as a teenager that her curves were a mistake of nature. She believed she had to correct them through all possible and impossible measures, not to mention fight against them. However, her pursuit of the "ideal" figure never developed as she had hoped. Today, at over fifty, she says: "Accepting my body as it is still doesn't come easy to me, but I have declared a truce: No more diets, no more workouts that push my limits, no more self-flagellation." In her book, she reflects on thirty years of the "curves war," examines whether women today have become more confident regarding their bodies, and comes to the realization that far too much is still being criticized, corrected, and optimized.
