AUSTIN, TEXAS - The International Size Acceptance Association (ISAA) has launched the Healthy Body Esteem campaign to provide an escape route from the "diet-of-the-day" pressures and gloom-and-doom predictions about size and weight that assault people every day. Instead, Healthy Body Esteem encourages people to feel better about themselves and start living happier and healthier.

“People get so many conflicting messages about what is healthy and what is attractive,” ISAA Director Allen Steadham said. “The same thin celebrities who were being glamorized in recent years are now being airbrushed to look even thinner on magazine covers. That sends a terrible message, both to the celebrities and to the public.”

“ISAA’s message is simple and to the point: love your body, it’s the only one you have,” Steadham said. “You have to take care of yourself – and that starts with self-esteem.”

The Healthy Body Esteem webpage on the ISAA website contains downloadable graphics, wallpapers for computer desktops (also usable as posters), an Adobe Acrobat PDF file and a Powerpoint Presentation.
