Nice article, thank you for sharing. It reminded me of a quote I had come across. "Think highly of yourself because the world takes you at your own estimate." I think it's the same with our body image and our friends with whom we occasionally - or obsessively! - do the fat talk. And exercise can play a very important role in changing our body image.
Thanks for the article! I emailed it to a friend of mine. We do the fat talk...and I hate it, it does make me feel worse about myself even though I finally feel better usually.
