CC, it's been a while since you started this thread. What advice would you now give someone with the same problem?

I have a friend who hates her body. I'm like, yeah, I feel so sorry for you, being shaped like an hourglass must really suck. In all sincerity, her self esteem has prevented her from really enjoying her life. It's such a shame. I think she's a true beauty, but she doesn't agree. Is there anything I can do to help, or does it really just have to be from within?
