Dear Diet Culture...

Mar 13

It's not us, it’s you. You’re manipulative, abusive, and severely lack inclusivity. You’re not the solution, you’re the problem.

You’ve created a false representation of health that discriminates, catalyzes eating disorders, body dysmorphia, self-hate, and overlooks mental health.

You’ve taught us to mistrust and disapprove of our bodies. You spread insidious lies. You convince us we’ll only be healthy, happy, and successful if we’re small and stay small forever. You tell us we have to be good, perfect, and behave.

You berate us for being human, and fail to acknowledge our wholeness. You don’t address mental health, you exacerbate it. Your arbitrary rules cause anxiety, guilt, and shame.

We’re sick of hearing we’d look better if we’d lose weight. We’re tired of trying to adhere to rules that override our system, and make no sense for our lives. We’re done feeling crazy when we decided to trust our bodies, instead of you. We’re no longer listening to you about how we should show up in the world.

We have a life to live, and we refuse to have you hold us back from living it any longer.

It’s over.

We’re moving on.

We’re coming back home to ourselves. We’re rebuilding the trust with ourselves. We know nourishing and taking care of ourselves isn’t a one-size fits all. We know it’s wildly different, and that health comes at every size. We’re going to practice love and acceptance and forgiveness. We’re going to live our life in accordance to what empowers us, our unique body, and our life.

Whose with me? Show of hands if you’re breaking up with diet culture.
