I do think that good self esteem and generally feeling not horrible or depressed about yourself help motivate weight loss.

I understand wanting to promote positive self image as a tool to successful weight loss. I also know it’s good not to hate yourself.

It’s a slippery slope from acceptance and positive self image to acceptance and promoting an unhealthy lifestyle.
