I have been deliberating this post for a few days, but several posts on my dash today make this statement necessary. While I respect that we all take different paths on our journey to get healthy, I will not follow you/will unfollow you if you post the following things: pictures of women that glorify them for being skinny (as opposed to fit), or any negative self-talk because you didn’t exercise/ate too much/etc.
I started this fitblr because I wanted to be positive, and share in other people’s positivity. I realize that not every day is going to be a “good day”, but an important part of this experience is also about being gentle with myself and accepting these days for what they are - a slip-up - rather than something that reflects negatively on my worth as a person. There is more to life than being thin, eating well, and exercising hard - and those things, by their existence alone, do not make me an amazing person.
tl;dr: I’m just trying to connect with people who want to get healthy (in body & mind), rather than thin at whatever cost.
