You Wouldn’t Be More Attractive If You Lost Weight
One of the ways that well-meaning people encourage us to lose weight is by telling us, or implying, that we would look better if we lost weight. Doesn’t matter if it’s ten, twenty, or ninety pounds.
Just think about the weight loss commercials and the before and after pictures.
Our eyes and minds have been trained to think that being smaller is equivalent to being more attractive.
They’ll either say, but you’re pretty, as if you’ve distorted yourself by being fat, or that you’re somehow less attractive because you carry extra pounds.
What’s worst than sacrificing your best life, and your most attractive self, because you can’t put the bread down.
Well, I’m here to tell you that you 1,000 percent would not look better if you lost weight.
How do I know this?
I just do.
Seriously — this is such a toxic way of thinking, and something that is consistently forced down our threats.
Being thin absolutely does not make a person attractive, and being fat doesn’t make a person unattractive.
But — this isn’t even about looks.
This is about toxic mindsets.
