Four Reasons Why Society’s Beauty Standards are Dangerous

SO which is it? Healthy or skinny? Can you have one without the other? Do the two come hand in hand? 

If you look at how society defines it, then you MUST be skinny in order to be healthy and everything else exciting that comes with life. If you know me and follow me, you know my answer is that the 2 do NOT have to come hand in hand. YOU can be healthy AND unhealthy at ANY SIZE!!

You can fight me on that but my gloves are off with all things that society promotes as healthy because quite frankly I have to say that about 90% of it is all BULLSHIT! 

We focus so much on our size and the number on the scale that we are actually missing out on what TRUE health really means. No worries though, I’m going to talk about it all in this podcast so go ahead, grab a cup of coffee and sit back and relax and listen up…

It seems this is a new trend or one that I have been seeing more and more of out on social media…and quite frankly..it grinds my gears. 

Of course, I will be talking about it in this episode. Does it really matter what I eat in a day or what anyone else eats? What one person eats in a day should not matter to you. Most of these posts and videos I am seeing are not even enough food to sustain a toddler. Social media has so much of an influence on us BUT it’s not always healthy. 

I am sure sometimes there are some great recipe ideas out there and we can find something to spice up our meals BUT what another person eats in a day should have no bearing on what you eat or decide to eat. Keep in mind that I can put 5 different clients on the SAME eating plan and they will all see different results. These “What I eat in a day” posts know nothing about you nor do you know why that person is eating that way. Eating plans MUST be individualized and in my personal coaching opinion, BE REALISTIC... MANY, too many of these posts are NOT a realistic way to eat. 

Let’s dive into WHAT I EAT IN A DAY!!!

In this episode, I’m diving into why we continually chase weight loss. A lot of women that come to me have struggled for years with yo-yo diets and they have tried everything, and then some, only to end up gaining back what they lost and feeling frustrated. 

Sound familiar? It seems we want to go blaming ourselves and think we failed when in reality we have been chasing something that is not real. I’m not sure why we, as women, continually chase the next big thing in search of losing those last 10 pounds, again and again. 

Why are we so disparity chasing weight loss and the next quick fix or whatever will get us slimmer by the wedding or big event we have coming up? 

Seriously, WHY are we always chasing weight loss? LEt’s talk about that a little more in depth. Shall we?

Oh the holidays are upon us and we’re all fearing that holiday weight gain. Seems to sneak up on us every year…BUT you can make this year different and actually avoid it altogether. 

I’m about to give you a few little secrets on how you can avoid the holiday weight gain this year and each and every year after this!! 

P.S. It’s not as difficult as you think it is…I promise. Oh, and it’s not a diet either!! 

Take a listen and I’ll give you some tips and pointers on how you can avoid the holiday weight gain and STILL enjoy grandmas Christmas cookies!!! 

I get that people would like to lose weight. There is NOTHING wrong with wanting to lose weight. BUT I ask you this, IF you are someone who wants to lose weight…WHY? WHY do you want to lose weight? WHY do you want to be thin? That answer will tell you more than you realize in a nutshell. 

So many people really don’t have a concrete answer to it and they are continuously chasing the next weight loss magic product out there hoping that maybe this time, this one will work. Again….WHY do you want to be thin? 

It seems that a LOT of us, myself included, have no clue as to what it is COSTING us when it comes to our overall health. When I say I have done and tried pretty much everything out there. I mean it…AND at one time, it had me VERY UNHEALTHY…But hey. I was thin so that’s all that matters..right?!?!? 

THIN does NOT always equal health. Health comes in all sizes and shapes and can be attained WITHOUT being thin ( even if society tells you differently) 

Let’s chat a bit more about this, shall we? 

I had someone ask me what I had been up to these days and why I had been so quiet. They also asked me how my handstand was coming along. Well, things are a little slow-moving right now because I’ve had a bit of a setback…which is what I am discussing in this podcast. 

I wanted to share it because a LOT of us suffer setbacks here and there in our lives. They can SUCK big time, I get it. I feel sharing this part of my story and what I have been going through may help a person or two realize that things aren’t permanent when we hit a little setback and the most important thing is that we continue moving forward…with what we have!! 

So let’s get into what I’ve been up to…

In this episode, I am sharing a little more of my story with you all. If you’ve followed me, you know that I struggled with my relationship with my body, food, and exercise. Well, I’m here to tell you that there are STILL things that trigger those old feelings BUT I am better able to cope now. 

It seems people think it’s all butterflies, daisies, and rainbows all the time BUT those old thoughts and feelings creep up sometimes. Knowing what to do and how to manage those feelings is where you take back that power from the “ old days” of the diet mentality. 

I used to let the scale define me. I would step on it first thing in the morning and it would literally set the tone for my day. I can’t tell you how many more times I’d step on it throughout the day. Ugh, I was a slave to it. If the number went up, I was disappointed and felt like I was failing…not to mention I’d eat less that day and add a bit more time to my workout. If it went down, Oh the world was on my side that day and all was just fine and dandy. 

I gave so much power to that little number and I let it dictate my life and how I felt about myself. Thankfully I have learned how to handle it and work through those unhealthy behaviors and feelings. 

I went to the doctor a few weeks ago and, of course, they make ya hop right up on that scale…well, most times it is not an issue for me anymore BUT this time, a few of those old feelings came creeping back when I looked up at that number. 

SO, what did I do and how did I handle it? I can say I handled it WAYYYY better than I would have a few years back. Click below to listen to the full story.

In this episode, I’m diving into what consistency REALLY is. It seems we have been led to believe it is a 30, 60 or 90-day thing when it comes to our weight loss. Isn’t that how a lot of the diets are? 

They tell you what to do, how to do it and for how long and…MAGIC…you drop the weight….UNTIL you gain it back, over and over and over again. How’s that working?

It seems we are consistent with hopping from one diet to the next and missing what we REALLY need consistency with. We’re making it harder than it is and thinking that we are the ones who are failing when it’s really these outdated programs. Matter of fact, some of them are set up to fail with a 95% failure rate. Ugh!!! 

I’m about to give you 3-5 things that need consistency and are actually things you can SUSTAIN when life happens. We have what it takes we’ve just been doing it with the diet mentality in mind and things don’t work that way in the long run. 

Let’s dive in. Shall we?

It seems that weight loss is impossible for some. We’ve tried everything and nothing seems to be working. I hear this all the time so I’m about to break it down because I think there is so much we do not understand about weight loss because society and the diet world has us confused. 

So, WHY do our bodies seem to fight us when it comes to weight loss? Why cant we seem to keep the weight off once it’s gone? Why are the things we used to do to lose weight no longer working? It’s your body fighting back after years of yo-yo dieting. 

Did you know that roughly 90% of people who have lost weight will eventually gain it back? Now, that’s not to say that sustainable weight management is impossible. But, understanding how your body responds to weight loss efforts can help you establish realistic expectations on your journey.

So let’s talk about WHY your body is fighting back, shall we? 

I’ll be discussing what has happened to our metabolism, why it’s possible it has slowed down, and how to bring it back up to normal speed. The role our hormones play in all of this and how smart our bodies actually are and why it fights back every time we try to lose weight along with tips on how to bring it all into a place where you and your body can work together to reach your goals.

Can you be healthy at any size? I know that is somewhat controversial out there in society these days but, I’m going to talk about it because it needs to be out in the open.

I’d like you to listen to this episode with an open mind, and see if you think a bit differently at the end. 

Health comes in all shapes and sizes! I said what I said. It’s not that your weight doesn’t matter BUT it doesn’t define you and it sure as hell isn’t the defining factor of your over all health. I mean really… is carrying a few extra pounds really as big a deal as everyone makes it out to be? I get it, we have an obesity “epidemic” but I think it’s being approached from the completely wrong direction and I’m about to tell you why. 

So what the heck is HEALTHY AT ANY SIZE? It’s a movement that promotes acceptance and appreciation of one’s body, even if you’re considered to be overweight. It encourages overweight people to shift their focus from losing weight to other healthy habits, such as eating healthy foods and getting more exercise. Weight loss is not the be all end all to health! 

You can be healthy AND unhealthy at any size…Being in a smaller, society-accepted body doesn’t mean health. I can tell you FIRST-HAND tht when I was smaller and weighed less that I was probably at the most unhealhitest time of my life…oh, but I fit the part that society wants us to think is healthy. That is why I fight this so hard to let others know that health comes in many sizes and shapes. 

If you’re still wanting to fight me on this one, I encourage you to listen to this podcast and then take a few minutes to let it sink in. You may find you see things from a little different point of view.
