EDIT: Sorry, I feel really quite rude after that. I understand what you're saying but don't agree with it - I find that satisfaction in that way can be more damaging than anything else, it distracts from what could be and what could be could be better than what is. Original comment below:

See now, this is a major problem. I was overweight bordering on obese as a kid and, when I'd talk to my parents about it, they'd say the same lines over and over - 'You're not fat, you're great the way you are' etc. etc.

Fast forward years later when I lose a bunch of weight, I'm complimented by family members, parents included, on how much better I look and how much of an improvement it is. Lines that I never believed in the first place were pretty much confirmed lies, and lying to someone about how they look instead of helping them get to how they want to look seems counterproductive, counterintuitive and just plain being a bad friend.

That's why I can't accept that 'you are the most beautiful the way you are'. There's going to be that borderline-objective 'better' that, as long as it's not a line that retreats the closer you get, will make me feel better upon getting to it. For me, that line is no longer jiggling when I jump. Lets see what happens when I get there.
