STEAL ME A BODY

       The issue of dissatisfaction about body proportion is not news to us anymore. There is one part of our body we do not feel secure about and wish was created in another way ranging from yearning to be taller, having a slimmer body, wider hips, fuller lips and a different hairline.
        Everyone has a distinct body feature we secretly admire and wished we possesed and this leads us to go through different therapies, activities to achieve that desired body feature or look which could be positive or negative to our health and self esteem.
        An obese person determined to achieve a slimmer body figure and body weight acceptable according to the standard of body mass index proportion is on the positive side because the weight loss helps to reduce incidence of non communicable diseases associated with obesity.
       Another person's interest may be to develop a bigger body physique and would go extreme by using steroids which in turn may lower his immunity after prolonged use.
       We deliberately forget that every individual is unque in body structure even though our functions are similar, we have varying height and different body  muscle proportions depending on various like nutrition, hereditary  and even environmental factors. In persuit for a perfect body shape we take enhancement products and may endure surgeries to "correct" our body parts and sometimes these enhancers could have adverse effects on other body parts latently.
      With this individual uniqueness in our minds why don't we strive to maintain our body functioning in good health. We could wear beautiful clothes and accessories that could complement our body shape and size. We should not see any part of our body as unattractive or repulsive, we should accept our structural body flaws and follow healthy lifestyle if it needs modification because what you view as a deformity may be the beauty essence another person seeks.
       Just like beauty, the more we seek to change our perceived flaws, the more  we keep losing our true beautiful self because the satisfaction we gain from artificial sources are only temporary till we see someone else with a definition of the perfection we seek to achieve.
      True satisfaction of our body can only be gotten from within, we should  appreciate what we have with an optimistic view about it. The more we appreciate ourselves for whom we are as a unique being, the happier we become, the more we condemn our abilities and traits , the more unhappy we become.This might result in us involving ourselves in extreme alternatives that brings no joy.
     The body is after all a vessel to accommodate our soul, beautify your soul and maintain the body vessel well.
