Just thought I’d leave that there 💁🏻‍♀️ After discovering that certain toxic trends are gaining serious pace on tiktok this post felt important. For those of you who haven’t seen the ‘headphone challenge’ my girl @danaemercer has posted it to her Insta- but basically it involves young girls seeing how many times they can get their iPhone headphones around their waist & apparently the more times you can get it round your waist the more ‘attractive’ you are. Terrifying quite frankly. First of all, let me just say that I know there are some women out there who are naturally super petite & slim- this is not an attack on you. Quite the opposite this is just an honest appeal to urge women to accept their bodies, love their shape & stop being so hard on themselves. For years I did everything in my power to be as thin as I possibly could be- obsessed with a number on a scale or the size on a label. I lost a huge amount of my self esteem in this desperate & never ending pursuit of perfection & in the end, I was never going to be happy. Because the problem wasn’t my body, it was my mindset. Being skinny didn’t make me happy- it made me anxious, lonely & f**king hungry 😂 You know what makes me happy? Being strong, being fit, being healthy & having balance in my life. (Oh & cheese 🧀) So lasses, let’s stop putting so much pressure on ourselves, let’s stop punishing ourselves & sacrificing so much of ourselves just for an unrealistic aesthetic. Realise you are worth so much more 💜 I have realised as I got older that there is so much more to life than just how I look & so many things that I should hold in higher regard- being kind, being strong, being healthy and above all else.. Being happy ❤️ Ladies, I hope you know how wonderful you all are & how much more you have to offer than a clothes size or a bikini pic.. You’re all beautiful in your own ways and you’re all sheroes to me! I was so lucky to welcome this powerhouse of a women @courtneydblack to the podcast last week & we discussed her fitness journey, her highs & lows & how she learned to love her body. She’s brilliant btw & an inspiration 😍 Link to listen in my bio 💘」2月10日 23時50分
