It probably doesn't help that the answers to these questions change from day to day, or sometimes several times within the same day.
I'm still thinking about these questions. I feel very antagonistic towards my body a lot of the time, as if I want to punish it for not being "perfect" and for not responding how I want it to, and then I catch myself and realize how fucking unhealthy that is, and then I want to pamper myself physically. Kind of atoning for having been so angry at myself earlier.
I'm still working through a lot of stuff.
Yoga helps, and so does ballet, in that they give me opportunities to be surprised and impressed by what my body can do.
