Body Acceptance Tips

 

DO

  • Accept that bodies come in a variety of shapes and sizes. This is what makes us interesting!
  • Remember that you can be your own worst critic. Other may find you really attractive!
  • Accept normal weekly and monthly changes in weight and shape.
  • Explore all the things you have to offer and recognize your positive qualities!
  • Decide how you wish to spend your energy – pursuing the "perfect image" or enjoying people and positive things in your life.
  • Be aware of your own weight prejudice. Explore how those feelings may affect your self-esteem.

DON'T

  • Let your body define who you are. You are much more than just a body!
  • Judge others on the basis of their appearance, body size, or shape.
  • Forget that society changes its ideal of beauty over the years.
  • Believe that all people are happy with themselves.
  • Forget that you are not alone in your pursuit of self-acceptance.
  • Self-acceptance is a life-long process that many people struggle with.
