You really hit the nail on the head when you described how diet culture has been so ingrained in us that even when you consciously decide to reject that mindset, you still internalise it. I also find that sometimes for me personally, the closer I get to accepted ‘norm’ of body size and shape, I become more critical of my body and find more flaws - it is honestly so toxic. Thank you for such for making this video - I really appreciate the frank, open conversation you are sparking! Lots of love!!!
That’s exactly what happened to me! It was like the closer I was inching to what society deems as “pretty and healthy” the more I picked myself apart. Thank you so much for the support it means the absolutely world to me! I’m glad you were able to relate to it in some way, love right back at you 💜💞
You are totally the full package!! You said it yourself: acceptance. Wow. This video is so interesting. I was a fat kid. No matter what weight I am, he is always inside my head. The fear of going back to that time is always in my head. I think to myself am I really better off? If I don’t accept myself I will always have those feelings right? You are eating healthy and you are doing what you can. That’s telling your body that you love it and accept it right? I am also trans so self-acceptance is something I am afraid I will never have. I should start practicing what I preach 🤔 I probably have so much more to say on this
Thank you so much for your comment 😭 I was terrified to upload this but it’s nice to know I’m not alone in this weird confusing state of body image. I’m glad you resonated with it and I love all your totally valid feelings about this topic. 💛💛💛
You’re so amazing. Unfortunately it seems like when we focus more on our health it tends to make us so much more conscious of our looks and critique every little thing. I’m sorry you are going through that mindset. You are beautiful your body is beautiful and i hope you can be more positive with yourself about that. ♥️♥️
I think maybe I had a good body image briefly around 19... but my teens and 20+'s have been a mess. I'm sorry to hear you've been introduced to this crappy way of thinking :( but I hope you can get back to feeling good about yourself :) I hate how easy it is for small comments by others to take root and cause trouble in our brains. I also wish people would stop thinking calorie in/out is the only factor in what someone's body weighs or looks like. It's so annoying how trying to focus on having a healthier body so easily slides into thoughts about weight and appearance when they don't have to be the same thing at all :S
Yes! Acceptance is so important. I agree, diet culture can be soooo toxic. I’m so proud of you for making this video and I hope you achieve acceptance soon 🤍🤍🤍

It really is so crucial is what I’m realizing. Thank you so much for the support Emma, I was terrified of making this video 😭💛
