Does body image matter in weight management?

Accept yourself

Self-acceptance is absolutely necessary to change body image, especially if you view yourself as overweight.

Look at yourself in the mirror. Picture your body as a piece of art; something that is valued, that can be admired instead of criticized. Only by accepting extra pounds as part of your WHOLE body can you begin to let those pounds go!

This is so so true!! Try yoga or other meditative exercise to begin to 'reset' how you feel about your body! No matter what state it is in now, it is a beautiful, complex system that should be celebrated and respected. Only after you begin to love it can you even start to change it.
