This is the question I keep coming back to, because even if we lost the pounds we'd like to no doubt there'd be some other reminder of our mortality and imperfection to take it's place.
I suppose the first step is recognizing it as something we inflict upon ourselves. The rest, I don't know. It's often hard to acknowledge complements from others or believe the nice things they may say (especially when in those poor body image moments) even when true.
Maybe there's a whole Kubla-Ross process you have to go through? Perhaps we all should have a screening of
All That Jazz?
