ヴィッキー・パティソンさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ヴィッキー・パティソンInstagram)「Happy #NationalFitnessDay! To celebrate here are some photos of my own personal health & fitness journey from over the years 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ Keeping fit for me used to be all about achieving a particular aesthetic- in a word, it used to be all about being thin. I thought if I could be as small as possible I’d be fit & healthy & happy. But as you can see by these pictures: That wasn’t the case at all. Fitness & health aren’t about a size, a shape or a number! It’s about getting moving, it’s about respecting yourself & your body, it’s about that release of endorphins coursing through your body! Exercise should be a celebration of what your body can do- not a punishment for what you’ve eaten- & sometimes we forget that. We need to remember that health looks different on everyone & just because you aren’t a size 0 with a six pack doesn’t mean you aren’t fit & well! You can be a size 12, be super strong & resilient, train all the time, love yoga, get 8 hours a night, give birth to avocados, love the woman you’re becoming & still have a wobbly butt! Similarly you can be a size 6 & have never set foot inside a gym, eat chips all the time, barely sleep & be wracked with anxiety! Please please PLEASE ladies: do not confuse ‘thin’ with ‘healthy.’ Also do not covet another woman’s shape or worse criticism them. Slim or curvy- sometimes it just the way we are made & quite frankly I believe that variety is the spice of life anyway 😂😍 Everyone’s bodies are different & there are so many determining factors- genetics, height, natural shape to name but a few! So do not spend too much time comparing yourself to others & training to extremes in a desperate pursuit of perfection- train to be strong, to be happy, to be healthy & anything else that comes along with it... Is just a bonus 😍 We are all fabulously flawed & beautiful in our own way remember that!! So on today, #NationalFitnessDay I encourage you beautiful lot to be more like the lass in the second half of these photos! I’d describe my body type as likes to workout but never says no to a cookie 😂😍🍪 And honestly, I’ve never been happier or healthier! Find something you love, that is good for you and do more of that!」9月24日 3時26分
