1. Accept Your Body and Learn to Have a Positive Self Image
By Chad Tackett
Because thin females and muscular males are seen as the
ideal in our society and because we have come to believe
that body size and shape are totally under a person's control,
most people enter diet and exercise programs with unrealistic
goals and expectations. If you continually strive to achieve a
socially imposed ideal, you will never be free of your
insecurities or your self-consciousness. You must truly realize
and then learn to accept that we are not all meant to be
fashion-model size.
Our body size and structure reflects not only our eating and
exercise habits but also our genetics. The role this latter
factor plays in determining weight seems to vary greatly between
individuals. We are all born with a certain body type inherited
from our parents. Although hardly anyone is a pure body type,
there are three different applicable categories: ectomorphs,
mesomorphs, and endomorphs.
