#truth Posted @withrepost • @themindfuldietitian Thankyou Kimmie Singh @tastingabundance for this truth bomb from the recent #WINDSymposium in DC.... Our value and worth does not lie in our productivity, including the "work" we invest in our "health" or body shape, weight or size. This whole notion is rooted in oppressive structures which demand us to be "working" to prove our value to the world. And it's bullshit. People don't look at a newborn baby and say "oh well, it's done nothing, so it's not worthy..." People look at a newborn and think about what a miracle they are. So what changes? As we get older, we learn - thanks family and culture - that doing more is valued. Including the "doing" to our bodies which are so so incredibly harmful. Resting, doing nothing at all does not change our value as humans. If, or when, our bodies are literally unable to do what we think they should be doing - if we have an injury, a diagnosis, a disability - that this does not mean anything about our worth. Doing is not being. Being is all we have to do to be enough. Share this with anyone who needs to hear it today - including ourselves. #HAESIG #shamefreezone #benotdo #mindfuldietitian https://www.instagram.com/p/B3DbG8dATMw/?igshid=jwoegcpk5cq4
