Saying no to snacks, and denying your hunger, isn’t courageous or cool.
never had a healthy relationship with my body
I came of age in the “Baby Got Back” era. Models walked runaways in their underwear. Abs were in. So imagine my horror and surprise when I saw “it” on social media: a before and after weight loss photo showing a “normal” woman and one who was rail thin. But skipping meals isn’t a sign of strength. But truly, I’m not. I’ve been criticized for my appearance. For context, I once was an adult weighing just 86 pounds. But I am concerned about the message her images,and images like these, are sending because they perpetuate the belief that our weight defines our worth. That in order to be appreciated, valued, and loved, you must be a certain size — i.e. very very thin. These images suggest that, because she is smaller, she is a success.
