I quite agree. Awhile back, I actually wrote a post with quite similar thought about getting into fitness or movement for the right reasons.

Exercise for the right reasons -because you want to be healthy, because you want to do things without feeling physically and mentally incapacitated, because you love and respect yourself enough to do what it is good for you, not because other people make you feel ugly and unattractive.
