What would be a positive approach to trying to prevent ED?
The biggest change people can make to prevent ED is to treat people for “who they are” (based on what they have done) rather than on “what they look like” (based on genetic inheritance and various habits). Some people will never be thin, but they can be happy by filling their life up with meaningful accomplishments (e.g., good education, enjoyable job, family with kids, spiritual peace, giving to others, etc.). It is impossible to change society quickly, so a sufferer should realistically focus on family and friends. Surround oneself with people who make you feel good about being you. These helpful people occasionally compliment, encourage, or reinforce “your activities.” Notice we did not write “your appearance.” If your family is rigid and critical, learn to self-reinforce or find friends that reinforce your efforts in life. And make sure to take The Risks to Be, and thereby stay actively accomplishing.
