ExcerptQuiz: How Well Do I Love My Body?Focusing on the ways our body serves us and how we can serve it helps us to accept—yes, even love—our bodies and stop obsessing about its appearance. Take this Thriving quiz to find out how well you love your body. Our own opinion of ourselves influences others’ opinions of us much more than we realize. 1. I appreciate that my arms enable me to hold someone I love, that my thighs enable me to run. 2. I wear comfortable clothes that I really like and that feel good to my body, rather than trying to hide or camouflage my body or to follow uncomfortable fashion trends. 3. I judge myself as a whole person, not just as a body. 4. I do things that let me enjoy my body—dance, take a hot bath, walk, get a massage. 5. I notice that the appearance of people I admire is unimportant to their success and accomplishments.
