You can modify your body with food & exercise. You can take the body you have and alter it a bit to a better version.

What you can't do is replace your body with a different person's body.

Therefore, you shouldn't have the goal to look like some image from media.

You should have the goal to look like you do now, but a bit better.

Some people need to hear this.

Working on it! I'm not obese, but I do have "old people arm sag" and I'm working to correct it.

    Yea this is kinda one of my biggest problems. But losing 20 pounds doesn't really do anything for me. I need the impossible radical transformation.

    "Beauty must be defined as [within the scope of] what we are, or else the concept itself is our enemy."
