Building a Better Body Image
• The obsession with having the perfect body not only hinders the physical aspect of a person but it ruins the thought of living a vivid and fulfilling life– Forget what we enjoy
doing– Lose sight of our
passions– Need to stay away from
obsessing over calorie counting and over exercising and embrace a healthy lifestyle

Quote that stuck out
• “59.7 billion a year on diets that fail majority of the time”
It’s interesting because people are so obsessed with dieting when that isn't the answer to a healthy life. Eating balanced meals with moderation of unhealthy items and exercising regularly will lead to a successful healthy lifestyle. Being fit and healthy isn't just a diet and you stop it, it’s a way of life you need to adjust.
