This one is a spicy, ranty one ALL about the language we use around food and our bodies.
We moralise the food we eat. We talk about feeling 'guilty' if we eat something 'bad'. Weight Watchers count certain foods as 'sins' and we identify ourselves as good if we've eaten in a certain way and 'bad' if we have dared to indulge in a food that might taste good or satisfy our taste buds.
What about bodies? I want to get "in shape". I'm so "out of shape". You look good, have you lost weight? (Yes I think we've all said and thought that one.)
How about "you're not fat, you're beautiful"?
What does that say about fat people in general? Why can't we be fat AND beautiful? Why is it that only 'thin' bodies are acceptable when it comes to societal beauty ideals?
One comment that was made to me in my teens really stuck with me: "Don't worry Christine, not everyone can have a perfect body". These words stick and they hurt and may have ramifications for many years.
How are we as women marketed to? Get toned! Do Pilates for those long lean muscles. Get strong but not beefy. Not too strong. Just strong enough. Take up space but not too much space. Just the right amount. Make sure you're not overdoing the cardio or lifting too heavy. Do Pilates, or hot yoga, make yourself smaller but stronger.
It's ENOUGH!
