Not that this was possible, because internet was just making it’s way to common households and it was expensive.. but.. I would have loved something like it to teach me a healthy body image.. I just went through some old pictures and found some from when I was 18. I was insecure about my body and often had lots of negative thoughts about it. When I look at those pictures now, I wish I could tell 18 year old me to appreciate my body, to train it and to keep looking after it.
So, thank you FB for teaching us to appreciate our bodies, in whatever shape or form. Thank you for reminding us that what our bodies can do is more important than what they look like. Yes, I can still sometimes have a negative thought, but it is now often followed by a thought of appreciation..
I wish I had known FB at age 18
