Yes!! Thankyou!! I guess self abuse to the point where I couldn't even see people- and definately not myself clearly. I struggle with myself still, but I can see all people as beautiful. I don't need an instructor to look like a body builder for me to do her arm workout, etc.. anymore either (thats an exaggeration, but it was bad). Bless you! Also, trying to get healthy is a full time job now, and it puts my own life and goals in perspective I guess. Again, not that anything is wrong with whatever people's goals may be as long there isn't just hate as motivation.

There is a good book called Body Kindness. Not saying it’s for you but for anyone who has issues, concern they are holding on to. It shows up also in the structure of our bodies. I’m just learning this about mine. I’m learning to be kind to my body by exercising for health. And not to even think I could copy the instructor. One of the reason if not the main reason, women go straight to breast reconstruction after mastectomy is vanity and not a healthy love for their bodies as is made by the creator.

There's a quote attributed to Dick Van Dyke that I love, which goes:
"In my 30's, I exercised to look good. In my 50's, I exercised to stay fit. In my 70's, to stay ambulatory. In my 80's, to avoid assisted living. Now, in my 90's, I'm just doing it out of pure defiance."
