#2 The body positive movement can sometimes focus too much on affirming beauty and not enough on deconstructing its necessity.
#3 Body love is critical to the health of our entire world. It affects more than just ourselves and those immediately nearby. It affects the entire globe and all of its venerable systemic issues.

Insights from Chapter 2

#1

As humans, we often fall into the trap of making promises to ourselves about how we’re going to change our lives after we lose weight or build muscle. This is a very sad situation, and it’s a clear example of how our expectations are constantly being lowered.

#2

We do this to ourselves over and over again. We’ll take those family photos once we lose 10 pounds. We’ll start dating again once we lose 10 pounds. We’ll join the gym, but only after we lose 10 pounds on our own first.

#3

We can’t love our minds and bodies well until we learn to love them. We can’t treat our minds and bodies well until we learn to love them. Nothing good comes out of finding the flaws and harboring resentment towards ourselves.

#4

The truth is that our bodies cannot be hidden, no matter how many black outfits we wear. We should instead accept the fact that our bodies are our bodies and live our lives like there is no tomorrow.

#5

Vulnerability is the hardest thing to do, but it is the best way to make progress. It is important to be vulnerable and open to new ideas, because that is how we learn.
