Just for Girls, by Sandra Friedman, is an open discussion group program that addresses what happens to girls in the process of growing up female that silences them and encourages them to redefine themselves by the numbers on the bathroom scale. The program looks at what feeling fat means to girls, teaches them skills to decode the language of fat and encourages them to tell the stories and express the feelings that lie underneath. It helps girls understand the societal pressures that they face during adolescence and the physical and emotional changes they are experiencing. It provides them with an awareness of their own bodies that goes beyond relating to themselves solely in terms of how they look.
