10 Steps To Positive Body Image

The list below was compiled from the National Eating Disorder Association.  I love all of the suggestions, and hope you'll try at least a few! 







FYI, If you like #2, you should gather a group of friends and try my "Best Body Positive Group Activity Ever" version.  Also, for help developing your "critical viewer of social and media messages" skills (#8), check out About-Face, my all-time favorite body-positive nonprofit organization.
