The very idea of dieting or exercising to fit into a pair of jeans or a bathing-suit is ridiculous to me. One is made of fabric, thread, and buttons... The other is made of bones, tissue and muscles. Wouldn't it be easier to alter your clothes rather than altering your body?
Beyond the physical makeup of clothing vs. the human body, I believe it is extremely mentally unhealthy to obsess over losing weight or altering one's body to fit a generic standard for physical sizes.
Exercise is great! It is never a bad thing to be focused on being more physically fit, faster, stronger, and healthier. Exercise for the purpose of looking like a photoshopped magazine model is unhealthy. Dieting to fit into a size 2 when you wear a size 6 because you think it'll make you happier is unhealthy. Health does not have a universal size.
