Just a little reminder post! I talked about this last year and as I'm going to be posting weight loss/healthy content again I thought I'd pop this up again too. When I put up before and afters/flashbacks/talk about wanting to lose weight, it's not a "beauty" thing. I have a lot of pretty clothes that currently don't fit me. The way my body holds excess weight/fat does sadly affect MY health (everyone's body is different and there are many people who can be healthy at a higher weight. Don't be a health/body shaming dick) and I find how my body holds excess weight to be physically uncomfortable. These are my reasons for wanting to get back to my previous weight of the last few years. I find when I talk about my desire to lose weight, people jump to my defence of "you're still beautiful" type sentiments when my beauty was never mentioned. Most days I still feel like a babe. Most days I love how I look. But this runs deeper to how I physically feel and what is best for me and my body. I think it says a lot about our society that we instantly jump to defend the "attractiveness" of a person the moment they discuss weight loss. I know everyone means well and am by no means trying to minimise the support I receive as I am incredibly grateful for it. I just want to encourage people to stop and think about comments like the above and where that meaning comes from ❤️❤️ #weightdoesntdefineyou #weightdoesntequalbeauty #weightloss #selfesteem #selflove #gettinghealthy #losingweight
