 Michelle Gaskill     4 months ago

The spring months not only bring about warmer weather, unfortunately it's also when eating disorders begin to crop up. With magazine covers screaming headlines on how to get a better body, or how to get rid of those wrinkles and cellulite, concern over body image increases this time of year.

Tony Paulson, PhD. is the author of "Why she Feels Fat" and offers some tips on how to maintain a healthy body image.

Body Image Boosters 
-Don't place too much emphasis on beauty 
-Compliment the person and not their body  
-Be conscious of how you speak about your own body around them 
-Focus on what makes them a good person 
-Suggest they take up a fun activity that involves using their  body 
-Don't be fooled by unrealistic body images
