So, for instance, if you purchase a food item that claims to have only 2 grams of fat per serving, it is important to look at the total amount of calories the serving contains to determine if the food indeed has a reasonable percentage of fat. Exercise is an important influence on body image. Learning to move your body and enjoy yourself while doing so can be a great beginning to becoming positive about your body. Start by completely stopping your exercise regime to see how much exercise has become part of the problem. It may help relieve depression.
Exercise can provide a sense of accomplishment.
Exercise for fun and to feel good. Choose an exercise that does not heighten your concern about your appearance. Start trying to appreciate different achievements in yourself and others. Work towards the point where weight is no longer something you rate your success by. Allow yourself and others to begin enjoying food for the pleasure it brings, and for its nutritional value.
