So all that wonderful stuff we’re told will happen when we lose weight, is actually:
✅ a mindset shift
✅ an increase in self awareness
✅ self acceptance (which leads to self love)
✅ confidence
✅ feeling competent & in charge of your life
YOU can decide to start living this way today btw! Weight loss has nothing to do with it. Now, many people have probably told you it does. Those people (family, friends, fitness professionals) all have never fixed how their own body image. As a human being right now, they “like you” are enough. 🤗
Once you realize you’re enough at any size or shape building an active lifestyle around your preferences is soooo much easier if you choose to do it.
Remember, you aren’t racing against anyone (even yourself 😉) and your body will end up where it wants if you’re doing & eating the things centered around your preferences. Shame on the mainstream weight loss industry for making us feel this way! Marketing against our on insecurities!
