DAY THIRTEEN

Key Theme: LOVE

SELF-ESTEEM AND BODY IMAGE

Obesity holds people back. It can keep them half-down much of the time. It often prevents its victims from really believing in themselves. Obesity is a thief. It can rob people of their self-esteem. This is why I so desperately sought a way out for myself. I was being held back. I was half-down— I wasn’t able to really believe in myself because I was fat. The fatness itself didn’t really cripple me. How I felt about being fat did it. This is true of just about every fat person everywhere. Don’t be fooled. Almost no one escapes the negative self-image effects of obesity. No one is really content with his or her fatness, not even the rich and famous. There is a way out of this burden for you. It begins with understanding but quickly leads to how you feel about yourself and your body. As you make the right choices in the kitchen, choose your attitudes towards your body wisely, too.

“If you want things to be different, perhaps the answer is to become different yourself. Become a self-believer.” Norman Vincent Peale

Food for Thought: I accept all of me.
