Body Shaming and Fat Talk
Trimarni
"Too big." "Too small."
Your body is not an object.
Let's stop shaming the body of an athlete. Including your own body.
It's crazy to think that so many athletes believe that they must attempt to train the body to succeed in sport while simultaneously maintaining a specific body type idealized by social media.
Whether you criticize your own appearance through comparison or judgement, criticize another's appearance in front of them or criticize another's appearance without their knowledge, this is a form of abuse.
The first step in overcoming body shaming is to appreciate your body just as it is.
We can all do better to love ourselves and our bodies just as we are.
When you have a healthy relationship with your body, you are more likely to respect and value the bodies of others.
