Body image: reality check – it is all okay to desire to lose body fat, but ensure that you are doing it for the right reasons. For lots of people, losing 5 kilos will make them completely happy with themselves. It is time to stop hiding all those excess fat under big, black, baggy clothes and pretending that is well or wearing tight-fitted dresses with all the excess flabs and folds falling off and carry on with an “I don’t care” attitude. You had better care, if not for the terrible look you see in front of your mirror or that clownish for survival purposes. For sure, your internal organs are not comfortable with those excess bags. Wake up before they collapse!
Appearance might mean very little compared to what is on the inside. Being thin will not solve problems surrounding low-self esteem but being FIT and HEALTHY helps. This does not mean that HEALTHY and FAT is also not a way to measure good health; that is why we need to know what exactly is body fat and when fat is too fat. Being obsessed with body image makes it only natural that we all focus on how we look and feel, not in our clothes but naked in front of a mirror.
First, love your body and respect it. To do this, you need to take time to choose what you put in that body, which will reflect on the outside, and not just to cover up with designer outfits. Your body tone and skin should be worth a million dollars and not the clothes!
