Building a Healthy Body Image

Weight concerns, body image issues, healthy eating patterns... all of these are common concerns for many of us. We want to be healthy and enjoy satisfying relationships and activities. Yet too often our self-perceptions about how we look or how we think others view us hold us back from feeling good. Feeling good means... eating a balanced diet... exercising regularly but not excessively ... engaging in positive self-care... remembering you are more than your appearance... developing supportive relationships.

Building a healthy body image and good self-esteem can be hard work because it takes time to become confident. As you work to improve your body image, you will experience self-acceptance and learn to recognize the qualities, skills, and talents that make you special.
