![]() I am sorry that you have to deal with this messaging, and I am sure you will do what is best for you and your mental health while also not expecting yourself to be unfazed by it. I relate to this so much Allison! I just got married this year in April and I used to struggle with an eating disorder that I have recovered from for a while now, but that means because of this predisposition I cannot diet and I also cannot work out to achieve a certain look, but the messaging around loosing weight for a wedding is extreme! And it took all my willpower not to give in and just „diet a little“ (not possible with my predisposition). ![]() It's a deeply personal, complicated, fine-line-walking situation for all of us. I don't always think this is "bad." Given my history with binge eating disorder, there are times when I am in a disordered mindset and I am abusing myself with food, so my body is bigger for that reason and in turn, there are times when I'm feeling incredibly peaceful and harmonious in my body and so it is smaller/more muscular because weight lifting is therapeutic for me. I wish it weren't the case, but it feels easier, sometimes, to just work out and drop a few pounds when I'm having a bad body image moment than it does to try to unlearn and overhaul the entire legacy of body shame I've been taught for 33 years. That's a huge part of this debate for me sometimes, I know I will just feel better if I cut some crap out of my food rotation and move my body more, because I'll look/feel less puffy and bloated, but I also wish I didn't care or feel like I have to care about looking puffy and bloated. I often hate the internal debate I have with myself, too, and especially relate to this passage: "Because I don’t think I have enough time to completely unpack all the negative conditioning I grew up with about female bodies and what it means to be a beautiful bride in less than 12 months." However, the snake can be overly suspicious, which makes them a bit paranoid.I appreciate your honesty here. ![]() People born in the Year of the Snake are a symbol of wisdom and wit, often seen as humorous and gifted in literature and art.
