I think as a fitness creator and trainer it can seem like I’ve got it all figured out. No food fears, no lingering trauma; no insecurities. If I post myself everyday and have a stereotypically “fit” body I must feel amazing!
And it’s not that I don’t recognize my privilege. But I also know how many people think “once I have the body, the finances, the XYZ - then I’ll be happy”
There is no state where you won’t be insecure. If you lose or gain the weight, dye your hair, get lash extensions, tattoo your brows, etc. it doesn’t matter. You will find something new that bothers you because we live in a society that sells you your insecurities back to you to make money off of you.
It’s normal to have some hesitancy about food sometimes. To worry about your body sometimes. To dislike your bone structure. To worry you’re falling behind. There is no time in your life you won’t experience something like this.
The best thing you can do is recognize the thought and watch it pass. Sometimes foods scare me. I see that. And then I eat it anyways. Sometimes I wake up bloated and wonder if I’ve gained a ton of weight. I see that. Then I let it pass. The idea isn’t to become perfect or to wish away any insecurity. It’s to recognize it’s human and not let it control your life.
There is no state of perfection as humans. But there is a state of “I’m doing what I can and I love myself enough to let the places I’m still working towards inspire me rather than frustrate me.” And further, that our physical insecurities are often not fixable (see bone structure, face shape, etc) and if we fixate on them too much we miss all the other joys of being alive.
Sending love!
