I've been told so many times in life that men are biologically stronger than women. One guy even said that an average dude would be stronger than a female Olympian. That is clearly false. Women just have strength in different areas of the body and sports/fitness is biased towards men. I once punched a guy so hard I knocked all his teeth crooked. You sit there and tell me that he was stronger than me.
i hate when people are like UHM FRUIT ISNT ACTUALLY GOOD FOR YOU IT HAS A LOT OF SUGAR like shut the fuck up go eat your nutritionally complete meal powder you bought off a fucking kickstarter project okay let me enjoy a clementine
Lifestyle changes are good, wanting to get down to a healthy weight is good. Cutting out necessary nutrients from your diet is not good. This seems especially important since most people make resolutions to lose weight this time of year. If losing weight is your goal then be sure to do it in a way that is healthy and sustainable and if you're not sure about something do your research and consult an expert.
I'm back at it after not going to the gym in a few months. Consistency has always been my biggest issue but I've gone twice this week. Part of it is masochism. Pain is comforting but I made a promise to not self harm anymore so work outside are a healthy outlet for those tendencies.
You cannot attain these bodies, because even the woman in the photo couldn’t attain that body.
Much of fitspo is manipulated in order to pull you in. You see those flat abs and you’ll buy the blogger’s diet plan. You see that round butt and you’ll spend money on that trainer’s workout regime. And because the real thing will never end up looking as good as the photoshopped pictures you see online, you’ll forever be chasing the next solution that they’re all clamoring to sell.
Bodies should not have to be manipulated in order to have value within our culture. We shouldn’t feel the need to smooth and thin and brighten images just so that these bodies can be seen as beautiful and worthwhile. Because when we encounter so many of these edited bodies that they become the norm in our media, it becomes even harder for us to summon up appreciation and respect for the real thing. Over time, what we see in our mirror is not only worthless: it also stands no chance of ever becoming good enough. How could it?
