I think that if we keep our goals realistic & concentrate on the improved health aspects of proper diet & excerise...we can't lose or be dissappointed.

My point...dissappointment

Our emotional reaction to dissappointment can be more detrimental to our health. At different stages of our lives, obviously, body image plays a different role.
"will I be loved"?, can I compete"?, "will they accept me"?, are questions we delude ourselves with when we try to measure our worth with only what others expect of us instead the whole person..who we are.

Make every effort count..we were created with amazing possibilities & tremendous potential for achievement.

Each has to find his own way & hopefully be supportive of others on their path.
