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.
