Spinning Their Deep Denial As "Positive Body Image."

Inner turmoil: opposite problems but the same tactic: denial.

 Celine Dion absurdly claims she's not anorexic while Mindy Kaling celebrates her weight gain. Both are spinning the consequences of their poor fitness decisions as "positive body image."

Neither injecting one's muscles with vegetable oil (or worse), nor getting surgical implants in any way resembles real muscle. It does however cause others to question the user's mental stability. 

For better or worse our bodies in their present state serve as a mirror to what’s been going on inside our heads.

This is the reason that some people are so obsessed with their body image and become so upset about being negatively judged based on the state of their bodies.

We alone are responsible for the condition of our physical self. No one is withholding food or shoving food down our throats. No one has us hogtied motionless to the sofa in front of the TV.

Its all on us. There is no convenient villain or circumstance we can blame for the body we currently inhabit by choice, because good or bad, we do this to ourselves. And deep down we all understand this to be true, which is why looking and feeling like crap is such a polarizing and heavily-defended issue for so many.

We can blame others for failed romance, friendships, careers, investments and everything else, but we alone have to take responsibility the present condition of our bodies.
