There's a war going on, and it's not in some foreign country. It's the war that too many of us fight on a daily basis - The ongoing war with our bodies.
We're not thin enough, so we starve ourselves. We're not toned enough, so we exercise to exhaustion. We're not healthy enough, so we avoid all pleasurable food in favor of alfalfa sprouts. And we're not beautiful enough, so we keep ourselves apart from others and the love they might offer.
In a culture that worships thin, young, fit, and perfect, few of us can measure up. And our obsession with what we are not has extinguished the joy and vibrancy of who we are.
"There is a way out," says Sarah Maria of Break Free Beauty.
"It is possible to love and respect your body, to be at peace with your natural urges, and not live in constant fear of gaining weight or growing old. I know the path to befriending the body is not easy. It is painful and difficult, and at times you may feel it is hopeless. But I assure you that it is possible."
