So tell me something good. . .
Alright so we've gone through a few of the negative impacts body image can have (and we'll probably go through several more). But how can body image affect your life if you have a positive perception? And how do you get that positive image? I think that these questions are important for individuals as well as parents. This article speaks about how parents can help their children develop a healthy relationship with food. Of course, healthy eating is just one part of being healthy overall. Exercise is also a key component to treating yourself well and loving your body. Girls Health organization helps girls understand how much exercise they should be getting and how to incorporate it into their lives so that it is fun instead of drudgery.

One of my favorite quotes is by Susan W. Tanner: "Do everything you can to make your appearance pleasing, but the minute you walk out the door, forget yourself and start concentrating on others."
ReplyDeleteThis to me is what positive body image can do for you. Satan wants us to be concentrated on ourselves, whether through self-destructive thoughts or through being too proud, but when we accept ourselves (which I am not saying is easy) it allows us to be tools in the Lord's hands. And I really love that.
