Right? I think some curves is fine, but they have really gone over the edge with this body positivity movement. It just looks awful. I see the images and I'm like "ugh, I don't want to look like that" and I close the browser. I don't know if that makes me a bad person or what...but when you see something that looks great and you think you might look great in, you buy it. When you see something that looks pretty bad on someone, you just close the browser down and move on with your day. You know?
It’s human nature. I’ve been working out for over 30 years. It wasn’t an obese person that inspired me. It was my hair dresser. She was beautiful and fit. I was a bit overweight and not nearly as beautiful, but that was okay.
One day we started talking about working out. She recommended TheFirm Vol. 6 as a good starter workout. I got into great shape! I still do TheFirm workouts at home ❤️
We should not glorify obesity. It’s killing people.
right? I am definitely not in the camp of wanting to shame anybody or anything. It's more - what should we be striving for? Well, we should be striving for good health. And whether we like it or not, a lower BMI (which has historically been much easier to attain given our much healthier wholesome food options previously and much more active lifestyles)...is associated with more healthy outcomes overall. So if it's wanting to "look good" that ultimately motivates us to make the right choices, well then so be it. I think it's no accident on God's part that looking our best and feeling our best is ultimately obtained by avoiding things that are terrible for us (junk food, no exercise, smoking, excess alcohol, drugs, other high risk behaviors, etc.). You know? It just seems there's a reason there's such a high correlation there.
