1. - My Dad      Being a body-imaged obsessed teen, I didn’t
take my father’s words to heart. I thought it was just some
stock phrase parents use to brush off their daughter’s concerns
about her body weight. But now, five years later, I find myself
saying that same quote to a lot of my body-troubled friends.
Being active and treating your body well isn’t about obtaining
an ideal body. It’s about just feeling positive. Feeling sexy.
Feeling accomplished. Like I said in a previous post, being
healthy shouldn’t be about reached goal weights. It’s when you
can get out of that sick mindset and start loving yourself no
matter how you think you look.       Now that I feel like a part
of the fitblr community, I see that there are a lot of people
who in the pursuit of health, lose themselves and their positive
body goals. They count calories, obsess over how much they run,
obsess over their weight training and early morning work outs.
They stress out over the slightest cheat, worry about family
dinners and people
