#fattalk

[Generated Translation: Society places an absolute importance on thinness and weight loss to be achieved at all costs. A fat person is represented by the media as a human case or caricature and is discriminated against at work because of their weight. Continuously talking about fat bodies in a negative way and using the word "fat" negatively inappropriately is part of normality, unfortunately, because it is inculcated in our culture. Crazy that in 2020 we still have to correspond to fictitious standards 🍑]

Fitness is not about the perfect body it's about getting your life together, overcoming fears, and building self confidence. Fitness will always be a continuous evolution of discovering who you are meant to be. #strongereveryday - The reason why I started this fitness journey was because 3 years ago when my daughter was 9 years old, I called myself "ugly and fat" right after she complimented me in my outfit as we were getting ready to go out for the day. I did the #fattalk, the same fat talk that most of us women do with our girlfriends while out shopping in the dressing rooms. The moment those words came out of my mouth she had this look on her face that I WILL NEVER forget. It was as if I stole the only truth that she knew about her mother, that in her eyes I would always be the strong and beautiful woman she would look up to as an example to lead her own life. That moment I knew that I needed to rebuild my confidence, fight all the body image issues I had, and set the intention of getting healthier not only for me, but for my daughters. - We are all in the messy middle of our story, trying to figure it all out. Learning to love yourself at every stage of fitness and life will always be an evolving lesson. At the end of the day I want to be #strongnotskinny by my own definition. I want to be beautiful, in the way I SEE it not in the eyes or definition of others. ✨ Be your own inspiration and make YOURSELF proud. ✨#transformationtuesday

Ever since I started going to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints I have worn a skirt or dress every Sunday.  I have actually found myself accepting my body more and more the longer I do it.  I have decided I am going to take action.  Over the summer I lost about 30 pounds, but since school has started I have gained 29 of those back.  So, I am going to make changes, just like I have made changes in my spiritual life by joining the LDS church I am going to make body changes at well.  From here on out I vow to do a work out every day.  If you see me around I want you to keep me accountable.  Ask me how I am doing on this goal, ask me if I have done my workout yet today, or what I am doing for a workout today.  Make me verbally tell someone.  Hopefully, this time next year I will be down a lot of weight.  Lord only knows that I can stand to lose it.

So why would you do it to yourself
