That is, of course, if we continued to delude ourselves that our bodies were our biggest problem.
In her book "Hunger," Roxane Gay examines the relationship people have with their bodies and the societal pressures surrounding body image. She argues that many individuals mistakenly believe their physical appearance is their main challenge, overlooking deeper, more complex issues. This perspective highlights the importance of addressing the mental and emotional aspects of body acceptance rather than merely focusing on physical changes.
By suggesting that the belief in our bodies being our biggest problem is a delusion, Gay encourages readers to confront underlying psychological struggles. This viewpoint invites a broader understanding of self-worth that transcends mere appearance, urging a reevaluation of the factors that influence how we perceive ourselves and our bodies in a world fixated on ideals.
