BODY IMAGE SCRAPBOOK - 'fitspiration'

Looking at a beautiful, thin woman is unlikely to make most people feel better, because it encourages you to compare your hopeless self with her. It does not tackle what is so often the underlying cause of obesity – unhappiness. That extra biscuit or four to make the day just that bit brighter. The inertia following the late-night binge. The cycle of guilt and chips and hopelessness and envy. The void that wants filling. (Cosslett, 2013a).
