I Was a Body Shamer - How I Changed My Mind About Body Positivity for Weight Loss

December 10, 2020

I SHAMED WOMEN IN THE BODY POSITIVITY MOVEMENT. This is my most confessional / vulnerable / emotional blog and pod yet!    I wasn’t one of those people who trolled their threads, love. My opinions were in my own head.   But I was still a BODY SHAMER.   I didn’t understand what body positivity was. I believed that women involved in the movement were condoning the extremes of obesity and anorexia. I thought it was promotion of the most unhealthy type.   Then I realised that these women weren’t judging their WEIGHT. To them, they were appreciative of their bodies, accepting themselves whatever the number of the scale. They were showing that a body was about a LOT more than just weight.   In my own weight release journey, I’ve come to realise that without body positivity, I simply don’t release weight.   If someone was bullying me, then asked for a favour, I’d tell them to eff off. I was doing that by asking my body to release weight, while berating her for being too big / ugly etc.   Hit up the link in my bio to understand more about the journey I’ve been on with accepting my body. Gratitude for this body I’m in has made a world of difference to me.
