Really, It's Okay
Really, it’s okay.
It’s okay if you have a memory of an earlier version of your body that felt easier to live in. It’s okay if part of you believes that your life would be happier and sunnier and brighter if your body were different. It’s okay if part of that is true.
This is what diet and wellness culture screams from the sidelines. “Encouraging“ us to do the next extreme thing. To follow the next diet trend, or exercise craze, for the sake of finding body peace.
Body peace is not found in endlessly pushing to change a body.
It’s okay if you wish that living in your skin were easier. I wish that for you, too.
And if being in your body does not feel comfortable today, know that you can still take care of it just the same. And that self-care, alone, can improve the experience of being in your body.
