• #repost @beauty_redefined ・・・ Your body at its healthiest and fittest might not look the way you hoped (or were led to believe) it would, and that is OK! Like REALLY OK! Your appearance doesn't define your worth, and it doesn't define your health either. Your weight, size and shape do not automatically reflect your health—it’s just not that simple! Six packs don’t equal health and fitness. Round, firm bums don’t equal health and fitness.🍑 Lack of cellulite doesn’t equal health and fitness. And no other outward measure or characteristic can tell anyone about your health and fitness either. We must learn to separate beauty ideals from our health and fitness pursuits! 👊🏽The truth is, pursuing beauty and appearance ideals often get in the way of our health and fitness pursuits! When we don’t get the six pack or lose the weight or look like we hoped we would, we give up on physical activity and food choices that serve us — even though our internal indicators of health and fitness are improved!😬😬😬(Blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, etc!) 😭We'll never stop repeating our life-giving mantra because it is TRUE and it cuts to the heart of many body image problems: Your body is an instrument, not an ornament! 👊🏼💪🏽 To really learn this, start by setting health and fitness goals that are based on how you FEEL inside your body, and what you can DO, rather than how you look. When we do that, we are not only more likely to achieve and stick with those goals, we also improve the way we feel about our bodies in powerful ways. Regardless of your ability level, you can learn to view and value your body as an instrument to serve you and the world. Your voice, experiences, art, kindness, talents, wisdom, movement, leadership, and example can serve you and bring light and meaning to a world so in need of what you can offer. 💁🏼‍♀️If you want to dig into this subject, enroll in our online body image resilience course, watch our TEDx talk, and check out our blog (all linked in bio or at beautyredefined.org)! #morethanabody #seemorebemore #beautyredefined

  • Representation matters! We all deserve to take up space in the world. It is time for brands like Athleta to start featuring plus-sized mannequins in their store. ⠀ ⠀ This is an opportunity to show the world that fitness doesn’t stop at a certain size and that we all deserve to be represented. Athleta has stated that “inclusivity is core” to their brand and that they “consistently celebrate women of different shapes and sizes.” So why don’t their stores reflect that mission?⠀ ⠀ Click on the link in @diannebondyyoga’s Bio to find out more about this and support this movement by signing the petition! -⠀ -⠀ -⠀ #change #changetheworld #petitions #everybodyisagoodbody #plussize #representation #inclusivity #equality #dowhatyousay #youareenough #wearealldifferent #plussizedmannequins #positivebodyimage #bepositive #curvytothecore #celebratemysize #honouryourcurves #bigbottombehaviour
