Summer habits, lack of control, body confidence, what we're wearing this summer, bathing suits to make you look and feel good, what I'm reordering and goals for June.
As an outsider looking in, I just have to tell you that you look fantastic! You look so strong and also thin and it makes me really sad to see so many Charleston influencers (amongst others) just wither away into nothing. I’ve unfollowed many of them because I find their extreme weight loss triggering. I’m glad to hear that doctor rejected the request because it’s so unnecessary and so unhealthy. I think GLP-1s are absolutely wonderful for those that need it, but I’m so tired of seeing women abuse it to have the body types of their teenage selves. It makes me so mad that we didn’t learn from the 90s and instead we’re passing along the same body issues to the children in our lives.
Ok, off my soapbox. 😆 Clearly I have a lot of feelings about it. All that to say, you seem to live a thoroughly healthy life and I hope you start to give yourself a little grace.
So relatable Liz! The notes on raising boys at these ages and the desire to simplify for the '90s summer' and give them their wings. But also all the body stuff. I have commented before on IG about this. I remind myself all the time that even when I am not feeling my best in my body I am still what someone else considers their 'goal'. That reframe makes me grateful for my health, my mobility, my active lifestyle and my eating habits good and bad! Wishing you a happy summer xx
I know what you mean about body confidence lately. It feels like everyone is micro dosing glp-1’s these days but I don’t think that’s actually the case, it’s just social media and celebrities making us feel that way.
Body confidence is always hard, but I think blaming glp-1s is a little harsh. We definitely have a societal problem regarding weight snd right now our government/culture isn’t exactly promoting healthy eating either 🫣
Definitely not blaming GLP-1's!!! I have so many friends who use them, approved by a doctors for weightless, and look healthy and incredible!! I am simply referring to those who are using peptides or whatever it is, and who already look healthy/tiny, to lose a few lbs. Does this conversation come from a jealous place? Probably lol. I am more so blaming the skinny movement in general. Everyone is so thin!
