And their lives shall be increased in peace,
And the years of their joy shall be multiplied,
In eternal gladness and peace,
All the days of their life.”2 -

“The person who loves walking will go farther than the person who loves the destination.”
Sorry, I can’t make an accurate attribution for this quote
But this is what I mean when I say, I don’t accomplish things through discipline. I accomplish them because I enjoy them. And if something needs to get done and I’m not enjoying the process, I find a way to enjoy the process.2 -

"Body dysmorphia is a mental illness involving obsessive focus on a perceived flaw in appearance. The flaw may be minor or imagined, but the person may spend hours a day trying to fix it. The person may try many cosmetic procedures or exercise to excess. People with this disorder may frequently examine their appearance in a mirror, constantly compare their appearance with that of others, and avoid social situations or photos."1

Thank you for this."Body dysmorphia is a mental illness involving obsessive focus on a perceived flaw in appearance. The flaw may be minor or imagined, but the person may spend hours a day trying to fix it. The person may try many cosmetic procedures or exercise to excess. People with this disorder may frequently examine their appearance in a mirror, constantly compare their appearance with that of others, and avoid social situations or photos."
I feel like this is an epidemic, and whether or not it rises to the level of a disorder depends on the severity. I know that I body check myself too frequently and I probably exhibit some of the other symptoms as well.
I try pretty hard to make exercise and healthful eating about wellness and functionality, but I’m also vain as *kitten* and probably give a lot of lip service to it.

Yes, the severity varies, and I agree that this seems like a modern epidemic. I posted this because it made me reflect on my preoccupation with my appearance over the years. I do not think I would be clinically diagnosed with BDD, but there is something there (more past than present) that is probably not healthy or at the very least, out of balance.
We all want to know we are ok and accepted. For some reason we often think a great appearance will grant us that... it never does.2 -

With social media, this has become a big issue in the fitness industry.
A lot of influencers edit their photo's online so they look slimmer than they are.
For good laugh and educational, you should follow good_u2 on IG
He exposes a lot of frauds on his page. People who are selling "their programs" to people, while editing their photo's and thus making them look smaller than they are.
These fitlfluencers probably have body dysmorphia as well, but they now try to make money out of it.
It's basically lying to your clients2 -
My solitude does not depend on the presence or absence of people; on the contrary, I hate who steals my solitude without, in exchange, offering me true company.

“My happiness is not the means to any end.
It is the end.
It is its own goal.
It is its own purpose.”
