Ten Ways to ENHANCE Your Body Image!

10. Appreciate your body--it works hard for you.

9. Dance, swim, hike--move your body in ways that bring you joy.

8. Respect the beauty and appeal of all sizes, shapes and colors of people.

7. Take charge of your attitude--don't let others determine how you feel about your body.

6. Savor and enjoy those special foods--you are not "bad" for eating what
you want, just as there are no "bad" foods.

5. Exercise for health, fitness and fun, not to lose weight.

4. Wear comfortable clothing that you like and that feels good to your body.

 

3. Connect with something larger than yourself--nature, religion, a group
etc. It keeps things in perspective.

2. Choose to find the beauty in the world and in yourself.

1. Respect your body shape and treat it well even if you choose to modify it.
