BETTER BODY LOVE/DAY 10.
Day 10! We made it. I made it. To be honest at this point I’m probably the only person reading this 😂. And that’s quite alright:) But, if YOU are… THANK YOU!
Today’s last Topic of @AshleyRoseReeves IG BETTER BODY LOVE Challenge is Changing the Conversation Around Body Image.
Definitely check out her IG Story Highlight Reel and how she’s changed the way she disengages from Negative Appearance Based Conversations.
I know over the years some of my most hurtful comments have came from our societies lack of compassion towards different shapes and sizes. And it all starts with US.
Fat Shaming is a Real thing and Fat Jokes are still Funny and Acceptable to most. This is actually why Ashley created this Free IG version of her Full Program. She saw all the Pandemic Meme’s of getting Fat during this uncertain time and also realized how harming they could to be for individuals that our struggling with Eating Disorders and Body Dysmorphia.
And I’m one of them. I’ve struggled most of my lifewith Emotional Eating and some form of Body Dysmorphia. And it’s not Funny. Seriously Not Funny.
So, I agree with Ashley (and thank you) We do need to continue to Change our dialogue around Body Image. Our Lives have far more meaning then a pant size or how fat her ass is in those Jeans.
Let’s STOP tearing ourselves and others apart based on our appearances.
Let’s show our Children that Their worth and Others worth is more than what the scales says.
And for the Love of God let’s stop looking at someone whose overweight as less valuable of a human or worse to be mocked. ITS NOT COOL.
All these Things can be changed and I will not sit idle anymore. I don’t want future generations to have this on their plate. Life is hard enough as it is and in a global health crisis like this further brings it home.
We need to Love not rip ourselves apart because we gained a few pounds.
What’s Next for Me?
In the next few weeks I will be reconnecting with my Dr’s including a Therapist. I will also be signing up for Ashley’s Full Program HERE.
In the First of this New Year, I wrote down Three goals which included Learning to Thrive Not Just Survive. I actually didn’t have a concrete plan as I wrote it down and.Even prayed that God would reveal it more to me.
And Now it is unfolding in ways I never imagined. I now can see a Life beyond Appearance. It’s a beautiful thing. I seriously want to Thank Ashley for taking her own journey of Better Body Love so I can now take mine and hopefully You can Take Yours!
