In fact, acknowledging our desires related to body size can be so helpful in actually healing body image at its core.

• [5:43] Where does this desire actually stem from? 
• [10:24] If weight gain was a result of unhealthy behaviors, how to focus on changing the BEHAVIORS, not the weight itself
• [15:57] If weight loss is the only thing that you think will improve your life, you are robbing yourself of so many other opportunities that doesn’t depend on your weight
