I don’t know when accepting our bodies became synonymous with not taking care of ourselves, (ahem- looking at you, diet culture), but I feel need to squash this one pronto.
It’s normal when you’re getting off the diet rollercoaster to feel a little lost. While you’re ready to stop hating your body, you may not always identify as feeling love or positivity towards it either. Body shame or body positivity- those are not your only options.
Somewhere along the way, you’ve gotten this idea that your current body is temporary- that there is this smaller, thinner version of you waiting to come out and THEN your life begins. But what happens when you're always viewing your body as temporary? How can we start where we are?
