Body Diversity is Not an Accident
Body diversity is not an accident.
Some bodies are small.
Some bodies are large.
Some bodies hang out somewhere in the middle.
Some bodies are short.
Some bodies are tall.
Some bodies come with large hands or large feet.
Some bodies come with small hands or small feet.
Some bodies enjoy a relative health.
Some bodies experience disease.
Some bodies are nourished.
Some bodies are malnourished.
Some bodies are privileged.
Some bodies are oppressed.
ALL bodies are worthy.
You, today, are worthy. Please don’t buy into the diet culture promise that if you change your body, you will achieve life goodness. The fact is, the majority of people are unable to sustainably change their body. Our bodies’ miraculous biology, their staying power, the part that makes it difficult for sustained change to be maintained, is amazing. It’s life-giving.
If you have spent any time or energy trying to change your body, know that you are welcome here. If you’re currently on a voyage of body change, you are welcome here. If you’re grieving the loss of time dedicated to body change, you are welcome here. Body success, in my book, is about arriving to yourself, your body, on all of the days.
Body size is not a life goal.
You are a million wonderful things. And whether you love it or not, your body represents only a tiny part of that wonder.
