As much as I want obesity and fitness to be more prevalent in national discourse, I still cringe when I see people being insulted on account of their obesity. Negative reinforcement may work, but not when you& #39;re dismissive and unengaged.

Body positivity, for me, is the acknowledgment and acceptance of how one& #39;s body appears and striving to make it better. Internally, for health, and externally, for aesthetics and strength.

"It is a disgrace to grow old through sheer carelessness before seeing what manner of man[/woman] you may become by developing your bodily strength and beauty to their highest limit." - Socrates
