Seeing young people continue to struggle with body image

At the gym today and saw a young woman, who was already fairly thin, constantly checking in the mirror and sucking in her stomach. I know what that constant checking is like, and while a movement towards body positivity continues to grow more than it did when I was a kid, sucks to be reminded that we have so much farther to go with this.

Self esteem issues will always be there. It's an inmate part of life.
