Overweight and obese people are often criticized for being fat. You’ve probably heard hurtful words like: “You’re ugly, You eat too much, You’ll die young and We don’t have your size.” These words hurt your self-esteem, they can sometimes cause depression and you start slipping into bad eating habits.

There are days where you might hate yourself and you don’t like who you see in the mirror. You can’t continue drowning in the pool of self-hate and eating disorders forever. You have to face the world and embrace body positivity. Whether you want to start working out or eating healthy, you need to do so with confidence.

 

…

 

For a healthier and more realistic body image, you need to:

FIRST

Surround yourself with positive people. Be with people who motivate you and avoid those who consistently criticize and make fun of others. Their negative energy can rub off on you.

 

SECOND

Eat Healthily. Eating junk food is found to be one of the prime causes of obesity. Instead, load up on vegetables, fruits, whole grains and reduce your sugar intake.

 

THIRD

Exercise. Regular exercise does not only help you stay fit, but it will also improve your self-esteem. It releases happy chemicals in the brain that makes you feel good about yourself.

 

FOURTH

Focus on your positive traits. We tend to dwell more on our failures than successes. If you are unhappy with your size, body shape, or weight, shift your attention to other beautiful characteristics about you, your strengths, skills, and admirable qualities.

Body positivity is as simple as making the choice to love your body despite your shortcomings—to embrace your whole self and not let others dictate how you feel about your body – Paige Fieldsted
