I think you make a good point, here. There’s something to be said for finding inner happiness but it doesn’t come easy for a lot of people. Some people are just more affected by the media and outside forces. It’s easier said than done to say “dump the motherfucker,” too. Especially if the person who is putting you down is one or both of your parents as tends to be common in some cultures but isn’t limited to any one culture. I developed body issues at a young age because my mother’s husband, my then father figure, would talk about my weight. In fact, I think a lot of these body image issues stem from a fairly young age and it’s certainly much harder for a child to understand Eleanor Roosevelt’s quote than an adult. Practice makes perfect or, in this case, perfects a poor body image.

I think my problem with this advice is it comes off as aggressive and attack-y. I have never once successfully explained to anyone that they were the cause of their own problem by being aggressive about it. There is a good message here but it’s not presented in the most friendly manner.
