#1 The body you are looking at right now is the result of your genetics and your habits. It’s as simple as that. You have to make sure that any diet or exercise plan you engage in is worth it before you start.

#2 You can choose your habits, and therefore change your body. It may not be the body that society thinks you should have, but it will be the body that is the result of your genetics and your chosen habits.

#3 The point is to choose your effort consciously, and then your only job is to be happy with the results. I never look down at my belly and think, Dammit! Why did I screw up at that restaurant when I was out with my friends and have drinks and appetizers.

#4 You get to decide what body you want. It may be the body you have right now, or it may be a body with six-pack abs. Either way, your journey to loving your body starts now.
