I think there's so much emphasis on body image and results and outcome, but really what you should be after is to be healthy and to feel good about yourself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've long struggled with my body image and have worked hard to achieve a healthy weight.
I believe that how you feel is very important to how you look - that healthy equals beautiful.
I think it's better to feel good than to look good.
Being physically fit helps me think better and feel better. I only have this one body. I want to make the most impact that I can; taking care of my body helps me help others. That's a big reason why I do it.
I think it's good that people value their bodies and take care of them. I think if you cross the line and begin using your body as an asset or as an extension of your vanity, you've gone too far.
Whether you're tall or shorter, or a little bigger, more curves, skinny - you just have to be proud of what you have, and everyone is beautiful.
Design and style should work toward making you look good and feel good without a lot of effort so you can get on with the things that matter.
As long as you're feeling good with your weight and the way you look, that's what matters.
Look after yourself; remember that you only consist of your being, so make the best of what you have and look after it. Put good things into your body; eat well.
Part of the reason I wanted to model was to push the boundaries and challenge the perceptions of what a beautiful body is supposed to look like. Why should I feel any differently about looking good than anyone else?
