Not neccesarily.
It could go like this: "I'll accept myself the way I am, and deal with the issues."
I think it's another "erroneous zone" when we set milestones in order to come to self acceptance. i.e. "when I lose weight, I'll be happy".
The best way to lose the fat, is to love yourself as fat as you are. This self-love and acceptance can motivate you to do things for yourself and your body, that otherwise are hard to do. Hating our bodies is not as motivational as loving them.
