I’m disgusted that people / companies profit off of toxic diet culture, a perfected unrealistic beauty ideal, (including photoshop) and promoting that health looks like one thing.
Millions of us have been and still are fighting our eating disorders, seeing weight watchers targeting children - showing before and afters, congratulating restrictive guilt ridden eating behaviours is awful and heart breaking.
Yes I believe in wellness, but that education comes from balance - intuitive eating and understanding that health is so much more than just hitting a certain weight or being skinny.
Society and many diet promoters would say the pic of me as a teen on the left was healthier because I was slimmer. But that’s incorrect because only I knew how unhealthy my mindset and eating / exercise was.
I didn’t care about my health and well-being I cared about thigh gaps and goal measurements.
But now, I’m wayyyyyyy healthier even if I’m heavier and have more fat on my body. I have a balanced life, I eat without guilt and shame, I don’t restrict, I love eating, cooking and I nourish my body with the fuel is needs and the exercise it deserves.
Your body is your home when you love it you want to look after and care for it. That doesn’t mean you can’t change or fluctuate because we evolve and grow, that doesn’t mean you don’t want to be the best version of yourself, it’s whatever you feel you want to do and be.
If you’re confused about your relationship with food and or your body check out the free online NEDA screening tool, they also have a ton of free resources online and maybe its a loved one that may need help so make sure you’re there for them and learning to be understanding and supportive.

I eat so clean and healthy every single day yet I’m not a small woman. Both my parents are naturally thin but not me. For me to get to a size 8 or 10 I would need to starve myself as that’s just not how my body is naturally. I feel great everyday when I wake up & then the world hits. Eg, yesterday I went shopping and put on size 12 jeans. I liked the look and felt pretty good. Then the store woman came over and said “those are meant to be baggy” 😡 I was speechless! My sis and I laughed about it later, but at the time 🖕🖕🖕

I remember when I was 17 had spinal surgery and lost a considerable amount of weight post surgery, and my mum took me to Melbourne to cheer me up. It was at the same time they were filming Australia's next top model. Within 2 days I had 6 people offer me a modelling job! I was so shocked! I constantly felt sick and looked considerably sick and pale from the surgery and the pain. I couldn't understand how they thought I looked good for modelling after such a major surgery. Modelling never seemed glamorous to me after that.

I have a similar shape to you and was just this morning told I was borderline obese by my GP because of my bmi. I’m the fittest I’ve been in years after recovering from an eating disorder, strength training four times a week and eating in moderation. It would have knocked me previously but thanks to role models like you, I flipped it and gave myself plenty of self love for being so fit and strong right now. You honestly don’t realise the difference you make to people. Thank you 💗

The WW news made me so sad. I’m nearly 36 and developed food issues at the age of 10 and have until recently still had struggles. I may have a less than ideal body type now but being able to eat without hurting myself is a huge achievement for me.
People like you give me hope for future generations as I can honestly say I would not wish an eating disorder on anyone. Please-Keep up the wonderful work you’re doing by promoting self love and health before size

How old were you in that picture?
You don't look unhealthy.
Yes you were slimmer, but I wouldn't say unhealthy.
Your boobs were still there, which means that you still had fat, you were not underweight, but probably your mindset was wrong and you THOUGHT that "slim was better".
Also, depends how old you were, you were probably smaller during your teen years.
But you're happier now, and that's all that counts.

Iskra just because you think these ‘bodies’ which are obviously deemed healthier then bodies like yours(curvy/thick) doesn’t mean their “photoshopped” or a bad output for society. The greater message is the same everyone especially females with your body type try to push out into the world. You can always get into shape and there are many ways to do so including diet changes and this is one of many
