I am not talking about working out to look better or eating to be healthy. I am talking about taking it to the extreme and doing it for everyone else except yourself.
I run because I am challenging myself to a race. Oh, and because I like pizza and I can no longer just eat it anymore without gainining 10lbs. :) I eat healthy to feel good about myself and so my body feels good. I don't like constantly having an upset stomach, feeling bloated or tired. I do it for myself. I don't put lots of pressure on myself to be a certain size, because let's face it - I do enjoy food.
It saddens me seeing how kids today bully each other on social media and now create these standards of being "fit." I am sorry, but WHO says you are perfect and beautiful if you finger perfectly aligns with your chin and nose? Perhaps I broke my finger? Now where is your scale?
Love your BODY! Seriously. And if you don't ... eat clean, exercise. But don't compare yourselves to others or worse, make others feel bad because of the way we look.
It would be a boring world if we all looked alike.
Fabulous post. How true you speak; this is why apples and oranges were created. How how boring it would be if not.
