Healthy Body Image,
Self Esteem
and The Role your Mind Plays

We assume that a healthy body image is the automatic result of being thin, but if that were the case, models and other thin icons would have a good body image and self esteem. They'd be well-balanced, psychologically healthy and secure people...which they aren't.

But looking at advertisements, we're sold the idea that along with losing weight comes a healthy body image and self esteem. Only that's not entirely true. We might have a temporary improvement in our emotional wellness but, if you're a repeat dieter you'll know that it doesn't seem to last.

And here's what lies at the crux of a desire to lose weight: What we're really looking for is the happiness and contentment that losing weight is apparently going to bring us.

But when we place our emphasis on attaining a healthy mind (rather than focusing on weight loss itself), even without any weight loss our lives improve dramatically. That's precisely why we call our program MIND over Fatter.

And that's why part of my vision for making the ditch-diets- live-light website a top loss site is that it has a holistic approach which incorporates a healthy body image and self esteem as being absolutely central to our happiness with life. Our thoughts are all powerful - its them that determines our level of happiness.

BODY IMAGE is a really important component of our happiness. (To see a thumbnail sketch of any of the topics below, just click on body image above)

I LOVE this website. It's really thought-provoking, it's given me ideas about dieting and weight loss that I would never have contemplated. It makes such sense in a world where much about dieting doesn't. Bravo! I also loved your quizzes. I will be a repeat visitor. PS I have signed up for your free Joy-Filled Body Tips.

The Green Eating Guide

I am a university-bound teenager from the United States. Two years ago I was diagnosed with anorexia, a battle that eventually found me in the hospital.Dieting has robbed me of too much time. I found this website by chance. I've spent a lot of time browsing through articles and reading stories. It has changed my attitude and made me want to be MY ideal weight, not someone else's. Thank you to all the contributors and readers of Mind over Fatter. I deeply appreciate everything you do.(abridged by Cari)

Food Advertising Lies

It's easy in our society today to feel that our value is determined by the number on the scale. I am encouraged to change my mind so I can love myself for who I am not how much I weigh. Thank you so much for your website. It is such an inspiration to me!
Thank you! Rachel, USA
