Here’s the thing. You cannot be what you cannot see 🙏 And so if you do not see people (especially a woman) comfortable in her bodies - it’s hard to know how to do it yourself. . . Social media is filled with insecure, narcissist people. And I’m sick of seeing before and after photos used to promote health when all they really promote is a thin ideal (and their shitty diet). I’m sick of photoshop and the unattainable highlights reel... . . I actually reached a point last year where I realised that I was either part of the problem or helping to solve it. Sharing photos of my stomach rolls doesn’t feel brave to me. It feels powerful. Because I want you to see a woman who is truly comfortable with her body. Because we really don’t see that nearly enough. I hope this changes. . I’ve worked hard to develop the kind of unconditional confidence that doesn’t come off with make-up, that doesn’t depend on my weight or whether I take a good or bad photo. . . I realised that I don’t want to wear Spanx (my word, those things are uncomfortable!!). Or have to suck in my stomach to appear leaner than I am. And I don’t want to compromise my mental health to look a certain way. . . And the only way I’ll keep using this platform is if I can use it to promote real health. So, what kind of content would you like to see more of on social media? Does seeing this kind of thing help you practice body acceptance? Please share your comments 🔥
There are far too many sick and insecure people giving out eating disorder advice on social media and pretending it’s health. Please know that anyone who uses before and after photos to sell “health” to you, cares more about making money than your wellbeing. Health cannot be seen in a photo. The best thing you can do for your health is to avoid bad advice that sets you up for the never ending all-or-nothing cycle. 🔥 You certainly can’t trust everything you read.
Some days are a struggle. Some days I get to go on TV, get my hair and make up done or read amazing comments from my Back to Basics community. Other days - I cry in the car in Sydney traffic (a combination of grief and frustration) or I feel like giving up being a nutritionist that is nude and starting a new career that doesn’t involve constantly putting myself out there. . Yet, if I did pack up my bags and moved to Costa Rica to live with the sloths (which I gotta say... its mighty tempting), I don’t think I could escape the bad days. It’s human to have crappy days. We all struggle. Our problems are different, relative to our lives. But like an Iceberg, 99% of them remain hidden from Instagram. . So remember that everyone is struggling in some way. It’s ok if you are having a shitty day or you feel angry or sad or not good enough. It’s easy to compare yourself with others. There lives aren’t better. You’re just not seeing the full picture. . . P.s. And if you can, be a kind driver, as the person in the other car could be crying or sick or old... or in need of compassion. . Note: It’s ok to not be ok. But if you find it hard to get out of bed all the time and life feels too hard and pointless and stupid then please know I’ve been there (it’s outrageously lonely) and that’s not ok and you deserve more. Today... call your doctor and make an appointment. Or call 13 11 14. It’ll get better.
