Body Diversity is Intentional
This is why your instagram #fitspo influencer is not helpful. Moving like they do will not result in you looking like they do. Assuming they look like that, anyway.
This is why #diet culture icons messing with your food choice is not helpful. Dietary salvation is for sale, but it is not interested in anything but creating return customers. You might eat like ‘them,’ but you won’t have their lives or their bodies. And there’s no telling how honest they’re being, anyway.
This is why your #wellness guru is not helpful. Many of the humans peddling solutions are unqualified to do so, (hey @gwynethpaltrow), and worse, use their qualifications to keep you coming back. For the benefit of their wallets. Wellness deities are my least favorite things.
With any and all messages about being in a body, consider the flow of cash. These messages are banking on your vulnerability. And are completely unsound.
Move if you are able. If you want to. In ways that feel good. Eat a variety of food, if that is accessible to you. Eating anything is always better than aiming for perfect food. Not.a.thing. Don’t bother your head with fancy supplements or cleanses or detoxes.
Practice self-care, your way.
You can do all the things, and your body is going to look like your body. That’s not a mistake. That is very much by design.
BODY DIVERSITY IS INTENTIONAL.
Save your time.
Save your sanity.
Save your money.
