![]() ❌I WILL NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR THE SIZE OF MY BODY AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU!❌ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I read a post from someone today apologizing for the privilege of having a body their size. To put this in context, she is not over weight, underweight, extremely ripped, or anything else. She has a healthy looking size and shape with extra fat but not in excess to the point of being labeled medically based on her weight or size. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ She apologized to people and recognized her privilege in living in a body of her size and shape because it gives her the privilege to eat big meals in front of people without being glared at...I’m sorry but WHAT?!😤 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Doesn’t this further perpetuate the problem that she is trying to solve?🤨 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you want to STOP body shaming, then apologizing for the body YOU live in, is in a sense shaming yourself to avoid hurting others...thus suggesting they have something ‘worse’ than you!🚧 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤦🏻♀️I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS🤦🏻♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is just ONE (I have many) of the reasons why the body positive movement has become so twisted. This movement has the power to be healthy and empowering and yet every day I see it leading to justifications of poor habits, abusive treatment of ones own soul home, and stigmas around if our own body is ‘right, wrong, better, worse, privileged, or underprivileged.’😔 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ YOUR BODY IS YOUR VEHICLE TO HAVING THE MOST EPIC HUMAN EXPERIENCE💥🌟 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What we need to do is remove the JUDGEMENT and enhance the LOVE!⬆️❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Find a lifestyle that YOU enjoy and which helps you find, maintain, and celebrate your health!🤗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🎉Celebrate your choices and take pride in them! I’m personally so proud of myself and how far I’ve come in my body, relationship to self and food, as well as my physical abilities and mental clarity! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why would I apologize for the work I put in DAY AFTER DAY?! Hell no🙅🏻♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Treat your body with love, no matter what size or shape you are, not just to shift the shape, but simply to PROVIDE NECESSARY NUTRIENTS & ENERGY to the ONE place your soul resides in🍃🍉🍫🏋🏻♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Speak about YOUR body and others from a loving, caring, and genuine space. If you have nothing to add, ZIP IT!🙊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Trust that you are CAPABLE of appreciating alllllll the genetic differences of you but KNOW that you are also RESPONSIBLE for the choices that can influence your genetic predispositions, body composition, and overall ability to perform day to day tasks with ease as well as movement at a level conducive to your goals and needs!🧠👂🏼💪🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You’re not a bad person for having your body look any which way, just like you’re not a good person for this. At some point your body won’t even exist! BUT, given that it IS your vehicle for THIS life, SHOULDN’T WE VALUE IT MORE!?💃🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I could actually rant about this forever but the bottom line is if we want to solve problems in the external world we must be careful to not perpetuate or further them in the effort to reverse or protect against them. And if we really, really want to see change outside of ourselves, we must first look within🧘🏻♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Body positivity should first begin with treating your body positively. This is easiest when we love ourselves and our bodies so much that we naturally want to fuel and move it in a healthy, freeing, and empowering way.➕💝 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you’re looking to transform self-loathe into self-love, body judgement to body acceptance, and unhealthy habits to sustainably enjoyable and healthy choices then you’ll be a PERFECT fit for my 12 week transformation program developed according to; ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ YOU YOUR goals (internally and externally) YOUR body’s needs YOUR lifestyle ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All so you can start to Build More than Just a Body in the most freeing, empowering, and healthy way that you LOVE and can sustain not because you ‘feel like you have’ to but because you ‘genuinely want and crave’ to!🙌🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For more info on my coaching programs shoot me a message or CLICK HERE to apply so I can make sure we are going to be a great team on this POWERFUL journey!💝✨ APPLY NOW: https://www.jotform.com/celestialfit/applytobuildmorethanjustabody
