Women often struggle with accepting themselves. An ideal weight is one area that many women focus on. Often, they can be quite hard on themselves. The model Crystal Renn talks about her own struggles. Toward the end of the interview she discusses the tension of trying to find balance with eating healthy and exercising without the extreme pendulum swings of her past. She offers what I think is a healthy perspective for others, “I don’t let my body dictate whether I’m happy or not.”
