Honestly, it's super frustrating when you're a woman who wants to feel good in her own skin, lose some weight, and not have a toxic relationship with food. You're forced to pick a side, but neither option feels right. The truth is, you can want to change your body without hating it first. You can work on losing weight without being obsessed or restrictive. You can care about your appearance and your health without letting food control your life. You can want your partner to find you attractive without feeling like you need to hide until you've reached some kind of ideal. You can be yourself, right now, without waiting until you've reached some kind of goal. It's not about contradictions, it's just about being human. The problem is, diet culture and anti-diet culture both have their own agendas. One will sell you a plan that's all about tracking and restricting, while the other will tell you that wanting to lose weight means you're afraid of being fat. Neither one is really interested in helping you find a healthy, balanced approach. And that's what's really costing you - not just the weight, but the mental energy you're wasting on guilt and stress and planning. You deserve better than that.
