I saw this posted and it genuinely spoke to me. Over the last 30 years in fitness, I have seen the “ideal” body type change dramatically. From the super thin waif look in the 90s, to the long and lean look in the 2000s, then the rise of the hourglass figure in the 2010s. This trend has continued and the focus today is on even more curves and a toned body (which is awesome).
The point of me saying all this is that no one can be all of these ideal body types…our bodies are unique and simply can not fit inside every one of these boxes.
So if you find yourself resorting to disordered eating patternes by drastically restricting calories or excessively working out with no rest, you may want to reevaluate your goals.
There is nothing wrong with setting goals they can be extremely helpful, but make sure they are realistic and won’t do damage long term. Love yourself, and your body and always ask for help if you are struggling ❤️
