WOMEN OF ANY WEIGHT WHO ACCEPT THEIR “FLAWS” ARE BETTER ABLE TO HANDLE SETBACKS AND DISAPPOINTMENTS IN THEIR DAILY LIVES

Women of any weight who accept their “flaws” are better able to handle setbacks and disappointments in their daily lives.

Researcher Allison Kelly from Waterloo University in Canada says: “There is something about a high level of acceptance and understanding of oneself that helps people not necessarily view their bodies more positively, but rather acknowledge their bodies’ imperfections and be OK with them.”
