    If you’re a ‘sedentary’ sort of person who never does much exercise and / or who eats compulsively, then you’re one of the many, many people whose own habits contribute to their misery. But having said that, what would you LIKE to see yourself as? All cultures have (sometimes cruel) ideals about what a body should be. Very rarely are they realistic for a majority of the population. I think it helpful to think about the people I know who do not conform to those ideals but are nevertheless beautiful: people who are too fat, bald, or ugly to be on magazine covers, but who are ‘beautiful’ nevertheless. Treat yourself as you treat those you love who are not perfect.
