"high maintenance to be low maintenance" is NONSENSE | Internet Analysis
youtu.be1st Layer - Society has an absolutely unrealistic expectation of women, especially regarding “preserving” your youth & beauty & achieving the “ideal.”
2nd Layer - Add in being a beach or indoor athlete that perpetuates the “ideal” as well. Yikes. Rife territory for body image issues.
Ep 15: Ozempic, Thinness, and the Current “Protein Era” #StrategistReadsTheRoom

Maybe the question isn’t “How do I want to look?” but “How do I want to feel?” or “What goal am I trying to achieve here?” and make intentional decisions about that in a non-obsessive way. Make systems that work from a place of love, rather than one of shame because to be honest it’s not conducive to building lasting change for yourself. Shame
