- “In this same vein may I address an even more sensitive subject. I plead with you to please be more accepting of yourself, including your body shape and style, with a little less longing to look like someone else. We are all different. Some are tall, and some are short. Some are round, and some are thin. And almost everyone at some time or other wants to be something he or she is not! But as one adviser to teenage girls said: “You can’t live your life worrying that the world is staring at you. When you let people’s opinions make you self-conscious you give away your power. . . . The key to feeling [confident] is to always listen to your inner self—[the real you.]” And in the kingdom of God, the real you is “more precious than rubies” (Proverbs 3:15). Every young woman is a child of destiny and every adult woman a powerful force for good. I mention adult women because they are our greatest examples and resource for these young women. And if a woman is obsessing over being a size 2, she won’t be very surprised when her daughter or the Mia Maid in her class does the same and makes herself physically ill trying to accomplish it. We should all be as fit as we can be—that’s good Word of Wisdom doctrine. That means eating right and exercising and helping our bodies function at their optimum strength. We could probably all do better in that regard. But I speak here of optimum health; there is no universal optimum size.” Broken Things to Mend (Jeffrey R. Holland) Kindle Loc. 408-18
