I think abandoning diet culture and favouring the function of my body versus the ~aesthetic~ of my body has really opened my eyes and given me a new chance to be one with myself.
It is hard to get through this, but I honestly think it's worth the investment it takes to unlearn the idea that your body must serve others and must be out of the way, and must only take up so much space to be valued and for you to be loved.
#anti diet culture#celebrating what my body can do in the here and now has only taught me good things about myself#it's taught me how strong my body is and how i can push it further on my own time#like it can be really hard because the double whammy of dysphoria and body shaming of men but. fuck it i ball. i will continue to ball#haters mad i can ball and cry at the same time (joking)#also like... it will be a personal journey for everybody and there isn't the ~final stage~ where you'll pnly be happy with yourself...#...i don't think that's reasonable or fair to expect that from yourself...#...the important part of unlearning diet culture is that no matter what your body can/can't do and no matter how it appears...#...no matter all of that you're still worthy of love and respect and nourishment and happiness#you don't have to adore your body to recognize its worth *and* your worth#you could hate your body and still recognize that you deserve all those things#and lord knows sometimes we do hate our bodies and that is morally neutral at *worst*#i just hope that you all are able to internalize your inherent worth <3#and i wanted to post about this because i think this conversation is important and unlearning these expectations is also important
