"Imposing
harsh judgements on your body limits the range of experiences you allow
yourself to enjoy. How many times has a wonderful day at the beach been
tainted by your judgements about how you look in a bathing suit?
Imagine how liberating it would be to happily walk across the warm sand
without feeling self-conscious. Think of all the activities in your life
that you have deferred until you look different, better, or perhaps
even perfect.
There is much documented proof that the mind and body are connected,
so acceptance of your body is not only essential for your emotional
well-being, it is essential for your physical health as well. Denying
your body complete acceptance can lead to illness, whereas practicing
acceptance can heal disease. The drive for self-improvement is
completely healthy as long as it comes from a place of self-love rather
than a feeling of inadequacy." -Andrew Adler

Feel free to leave your opinion. I'm going to be pretty open to whatever people have to say, as long as we can all be civil.
