You could love yourself, right now, as you are. Your relationship with your body could be healed. You could start being grateful to your body for everything it does instead of buying into a bunch of marketing designed to make you feel like that you are the wrong shape and size and that you are flawed and unattractive. You could reject the diet industry and the message that makes them $60,000,000,000 a year and decide to pursue health through healthy behaviors, and stop worrying about what shape or size it comes in. You could stop confusing health and weight, and you could stop trying to solve health problems with body size interventions. You could take the time to learn what food and drink and movement and how much you and your body like (by trial and error if necessary) instead of allowing someone else (Jenny Craig?) to decide that for you. You could decide that you are the only person who gets decides how you feel about yourself. It’s called SELF-esteem. Not my-mom-esteem, or my-boss-esteem… You could love yourself right now. Right. This. Second. You could decide that there is nothing in the world that can stop you from loving yourself and your body because that’s what you choose to do and because you are willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen.
