Thinking constantly about your physical form absolutely IS hell. I love love love physical movement and embodiment and good food but loving being IN your body is completely different than loving your body as a status symbol
Oh my goodness, yes! Like, I try so hard to practice body neutrality, but I wish that my body could at least be smaller so I could feel better about it.
It's actually more damaging to think of your physical form. Eating is no longer about nutrition but restrictions, exercise becomes less enjoyable. I did this and ended up damaging my health so badly (physical and emotional)
@@LoveAndSnapple I think aiming to just enjoy the experience of existing inside your body, the physical sensuality of being within and having a body at all, is a much healthier practice
this is very true. i feel like the tone has shifted as of late, especially in 'progressive spaces'. not saying that progressive spaces never had any problems to begin with, but i've noticed in a lot of especially queer and women dominated spaces people are becoming more openly snarky and less afraid of being fatphobic or racist. it's like we made a little bit of progress tackling these issues and then reverted all the way back.
Speak on it, being raised in the 2000s as if ""heroin-chic"" wasn't THE norm and hasn't left a lasting impression on our generation. We grew up being called fat at our most impressionable age!
feels like it's downstream of Ozempic (democratization of thinness). All their content is "eat this not that" + "exercise EVERYDAY"+ "eat less". They rolled out the 1965s slumber party barbie line and call it "your power".
I shifted from skinny obsession to focusing on health and exercise. Did it by eating healthy and walking more. I did not check the weight scales or any influencer stuff coz i was scared id be down that weight obsession route.
This! Once I start building my strength and could lift heavier and had more endurance...that became my focus. Feeling strong in my body feels so much better and empowering than being skinny. Imo
Everyone I work with is super duper skinny. Like barely 110 lbs and they always call me fat names. They call off every other day because they feel sick and they ALWAYS get hurt at work. Wonder why 😅
yeah it seemed like when ozempic really got popular for so many people about a year ago this ghoulish rhetoric started to come back and now it’s gotten pretty strong now again 😖
I think enjoying and sharing and exploring and experiencing food is one of the most beautiful things in life ok I’m all for gyming and having a 6 pack and “being alpha” but no. I’m 38 years old and I have chosen.
I meant to put that in air quotes. It’s very obvious from my speech pattern and how I think is that I do not submit to that school of thinking. But thank you for nitpicking! I love how you chose the flaw of the massage and not the beauty of it. Says a lot about you. Tell me you’re 5 most wants or needs in life?
So I guess that body positivity was just because Ozempic wasn't invented yet. Thinness is now something we can purchase. Just another thing people can own to hold over others.
I don’t like that her favorite thing about herself is that she’s skinny. I’m hoping that she’s exaggerating with that. Although, slim/skinny black women aren’t normally the ideal in black communities. Growing up and still now, I get comments about being slim
I think the difference is that being white isn’t a choice while being skinny is. It usually takes a lot of discipline so it’s something to admire at times
@@alexisrene5854 it took me 5-10 seconds to look this question up on google and 2-3 seconds since I have an iPhone and even without looking it up, I could make an educated mostly correct guess on the answer but you may be young and not have the situational awareness/common sense that you get when you’re either grown or have certain circumstances as a kid, you may even be an adult and just not have it either way I implore you to take the 2-10 seconds to look it up on google and not just skewer towards the stuff that supports your argument, not saying you will or do, just that it’s very easy to fall into that.

Skinniness is not a show of discipline it is a biological response to a caloric restriction and deficit. This view of “eating less” or doing obscene amounts of weightlifting or Pilates 6x a week as some sign of self discipline is so strange, when all of that can and is just as unhealthy as overeating! Being skinny isn’t necessarily a choice either, as it’s dependent on many factors outside of our control including hormones and metabolism. Being a healthy weight for your body is one thing, being thin is another. Even in a caloric deficit and doing all the right things, thinness is not guaranteed for all bodies. These misconceptions are not rooted in science and are so dangerous
@@TheeBratzDollxox so purposefully being in a calorie deficit isn’t a show of discipline? And if you’re doing 6 times a week of any work out you’re idiot because your body won’t even have a chance to heal. Yall love bringing the extremes when all it is is simple calories in vs calories out
Actually yeah it is. We live in an era where “body positivity” and “bedrotting” is the norm. Also the body positivity is literally hostile towards thin women so don’t be surprised that increasingly more women are waking up and rejecting body positivity
@ actually beauty standards for women vary throughout time and across cultures. For example, in the 2010s and the earlier part of this decade, having a BBL body was the ultimate standard and women who had a smaller booty would get shamed. I’m not denying that being skinny is the standard now but, in a lot of women’s spaces on the internet you’ll see a lot of “bedrotting” and “body positivity” and “oh no, [insert thin celebrity here] is setting unrealistic beauty standards!”. Not to mention thin women get accused of body checking every time they post a selfie. There’s so much hate and hostility towards skinny women by so called “girls girl feminists” in women’s spaces that to be proud to be thin as a woman is an act of rebellion.
Everything now is like "How could thinness be wrong when it comes with benefits in a bigoted society? You ever think about that??"
clock it

i used to be anorexic, SHE'S RIGHT. LISTEN TO HER.
I hope these thinness influencers start to examine why losing their skinniness would fill them with FEAR.

I agree but, I don't think we made that much progress people just stopped pretending.
@AshleyBaxter-m6c yeah that's very true

hit the nail on the head with every single word. and yes, thinking about your appearance every waking moment of the day IS hell. i can attest to that.

“It’s a journal entry. It’s not an affirmation.” Is a bar!!! 💚
This went so hard
The wealth disparity with the underweight bourgeoisie and overweight proleteriat.

I love that I decided to watch this while having a double chocolate muffin lol
I love your videos omg
They’re gonna be fighting you in the comments but you’re right 😅
I think most of them are losing weight as a way to save money on food
like girl.. we know! 🥴🤣
I 100% agree with you (this comment is mostly being made to boost your presence in the eyes of the malevolent algorithm)
She should Hit the Gym
I think the difference is that being white isn’t a choice while being skinny is. It usually takes a lot of discipline so it’s something to admire at times
Being fat isn’t always a choice either, like when yall get over y’all selves😂

I agree with both of you mostly but, body positivity was never the norm and bed rotting isn't either.
@@theflameofsnow2323Bbl has always meant skinny. I'm a very thin girl with a much beloved fattie. Fat was never in
