I’ve done the Cabbage Soup Diet in hopes to lose 5-10 pounds in a week. I’ve looked up diet fads 2 weeks before summer hits so I can have the ultimate summer bod. And yes, I’ve tried juice cleanses to try to get a flat tummy in 3 days. What do these things all have in common? Quick unrealistic results that don’t take into account the actual health of your body. Sounds fucking backwards doesn’t it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sadly, the only time i’ve lost 10 pounds in 1-2 weeks and kept it off is when I was starving myself. I wasn’t happy, I wasn’t healthy, and I wasn’t myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So if all that is true, then what the fuck is the point? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Comes to the simple fact that it’s easier said than done. It’s easier to say “I’m fine in the skin I’m in” than to actually feel that way. It’s easier to say “I don’t care about what other people think of how I look”. And It’s easier to say “I’m not going to feel bad about eating this or that”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want to so badly say “I don’t care what society says I need to look like”. I want to so badly say “What you look like on the outside doesn’t decide how people treat you”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what I can say is “Fuck society and fuck the idea that the size of someones body equals the size of their worth” and I can sure as hell mean that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I FULLY understand “Diet Culture” and the mental instability it can cause people. And I FULLY understand that although Diet Culture is a societal built idea, only I can allow myself to engage in it or not. But supports definitely help! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With all that being said…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can’t say that I will never do a diet again. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIt will be on me to find the healthiest option that wont consume me and promise me unrealistic results. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peace, Love, Sweet Scented Wildflower<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cListen to me, your body is not a temple. Temples can be destroyed and desecrated. Your body is a forest\u2014thick canopies of maple trees and sweet scented wildflowers sprouting in the underwood. You will grow back, over and over, no matter how badly you are devastated.\u201d-\u00a0Beau Taplin<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/ericaleon.com\/2020\/02\/29\/some-mind-blowing-stats-to-share-with-you-about-eating-disorders\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
