Making realistic goals is an important part of creating a healthy body image. How does one determine if a goal is realistic?

Answer:

Any goal that emphases a quick "fix" is not realistic. Just as it takes time to develop bad habits, it also takes time to unlearn and replace them with good habits. Goals that are planned out over a span of time tend to be more realistic. Also, realistic goals can be vetted by parents, teachers, or medical professionals to ensure they are safe and attainable.
