So last week I was driving to work and the radio station was interviewing a body image expert all about disordered eating. The expert said "91% of women dislike their bodies" and it really stuck with me. It pissed me off. This is why the diet industry is successful. It keeps us small and desperate for the next quick fix to get external validation. What if we instead focus on what we love about our bodies so we can switch the dialogue. When you value yourself, you want the best for your body, you want it to be a beautiful fully working machine that is strong, healthy and confident. I do believe we are making a shift in the fitness industry into a more body positive movement and wanted to prove it.
I went to Facebook and posted this stat and then asked my friends and followers what they LOVED about their bodies....and I had over 70 responses back!
