"Love Your Body Unconditionally"

In order to nurture a fabulously fit body, you must accept and respect it right now – not once you lose the weight. Many people falsely believe they will love their bodies once they shed excess pounds. That’s simply not true. I know this because some of the most tortured people I’ve ever met have also been some of the thinnest. Ask just about any person from a size 6 to a size 26 about their bodies, and most will tell you they really need to lose a few pounds. They’ll call their bodies nasty names they wouldn’t call their worst enemies.

So, if you think a smaller body size will automatically result in body acceptance, you’ve put the cart before the horse. In fact, the opposite is true: Body acceptance will result in a smaller body size – not the other way around. Once you learn to accept and respect your body, you will instantly treat it differently. Love your body and your body will love you in return.

You are absolutely right! Very much depends on acceptance and the mind in general.
