I am doing research for a book chapter and I think it worth noting publicly that the science shows pretty clearly that appreciating your body, no matter what it looks like or what size/shape it is, is really good for you.

It is, in fact, better for you than dieting.

I sincerely wish it were possible to appreciate....anything about myself, but we live in a society that constantly tells me, in ways large and small, that I am unworthy of success or love and it's my own fault.

And my brain has internalized this as a mantra that never stops
