A recent survey found that 67% of people feel they are overweight, and if we are not happy with the way our bodies look, then it is not hard to see why we feel insecure. Innocent comments can make us sensitized to the way we view our bodies and worry about how we think others are judging us.

If you feel comfortable in what you are wearing, then you will feel more confident, so always buy and wear clothes that fit you well. Don’t worry about label sizes, and if you need to try the next size up, go for it! Clothes that don’t fit well or are too tight will only make fat rolls and muffin tops stick out of your clothes, making you look bigger than you really are.

Things we must do:

• We have to accept that all bodies come in different shapes and sizes.
• Exercise is an important tool for maintaining a healthy body image, and at least 30 minutes a day will reduce your body fat and boost your self-esteem.
• We could be our worst enemy. Even though we think we look fat and lumpy, other people may find us really attractive.
• Eating healthy will help keep your weight stable and boost your self-confidence.
• Accept that it is normal for our weight and body shape to fluctuate weekly and monthly.
• Be kind to yourself. When you look in the mirror, focus on your good features and give yourself a few compliments.
• Remember that the people who truly love you; your parents, partner, friends and children love you for you, and not for what you look like.

Things we should not do:

• You are much more than a body, do not let the shape of your body define who or what you are.
• Don’t let obsessions with your body keep you from reaching out to others, whether in friendships or relationships.
• Judging others based on their appearance, body size, or shape.
• We should not think that we are the only ones who have problems accepting the way our body is, as many people struggle with this.
• Do not think that all thin people are happy with their body, we all dislike some part of our body.

Sometimes, even after eating healthy and exercising regularly, we are left with little pockets of fat that don’t budge. There are some people who don’t mind having a little bit of body fat, but if you do, vaser lipo is a cosmetic treatment that can help. Vaser liposuction treatments will remove unwanted fat and precisely shape your body for a natural-looking result. It is a gentle treatment, which gives you instant results.

Always remember, we are all different. It would be very boring if we were all exactly the same, and we must realize that everyone is beautiful, no matter what size or shape they are.
