Take a look at any magazine, commercial, news paper, TV, or movie and what do you see, that's right beautiful people, do you know why...marketing. If someone who did not take care of themselves, was on a TV commercial trying to sell you something of comfort, say a new dress, a couch, a new car, would you feel inclined to buy it? Having someone who looks like they can't take care of themselves and try to sell you something just doesn't work.
Well proportioned, carefully honed, professionally groomed persons from hair and makeup, to teeth and wardrobe. These professionals are made-up to look fabulous so that you will want to buy those diamonds, a new house, or car. For most of us, the made-up person is just not attainable, by simple virtue of it's not real. Did you know that on average 99 percent of all photos are Photoshop-powered, meaning that shading, shrinking, stretching, and aggressive airbrushing commonly occurs in the photo studio so that the person looks flawless. These pictures are simply unrealistic, and society needs to reframe their thinking.
Unfortunately many women and men are turning to cosmetic surgery for a quick fix only to find that the results do not last, why, because if you don't change the behavior you can't really change the outcome.
When a person seeks the knife to satisfy their lack-of confidence they have a warped view that feelings of self-loathing or low self-esteem with be made right with the perfect body, unfortunately that is just not true. To improve your body image you have to learn to override the deception that comes from within, you have to stuff out negativity and shift you perception.
Only nurturing your self-acceptance builds confidence and self-esteem; which in turn helps you make the hard decisions of what to eat and how much exercise is needed to feel good. Instead of obsessing about a certain number on the scale, focus on how you feel when you exercise. Shift your self-berating of how you slip up and eat junk food to how well you are doing by making good food choices. One great way is to notice the good is by starting a journal and highlighting every time you eat something healthy, by the end of the month you will notice more highlights in your journal entry's after documenting your progress for a while, then you will have had towards the beginning due to the fact that everyone likes positive reinforcement this will give you more incentive to keep on track.
When you see what a miracle your body is and how lucky you are to have a functioning body then you will be less apt to ridicule all your so-called flaws, and can then begin to move forward in a positive approach to getting into better shape (with out the knife).
