I was never told to not get too skinny. Beyond awesome article! Ever been discouraged from lifting weights in case you get too bulky (whatever the hell that means)? I have. Many, many times. Heres an answer to those folk perpetrating that opinion. It explains what this train of thought encourages and why it exists. And a tip for body commentators and those folk with helpful and unsolicited tips for women on eating and exercising... ITS NOT ABOUT YOU. Did you get that? Surprise! That woman doesnt exist, train or eat to keep YOU happy. And too many women already punish themselves to try and fit a narrowly defined ideal of what they think society says is attractive. If theyre trying to buck that trend and do something for their wellbeing and health, f**k off and keep your opinions and advice to yourself. So, no, I dont care if you think I should eat less carbs. Or if you think I will get fat from having dessert or dairy or grains. Or if I will poison myself from having artificial sweeteners. Or that Ill get big arms and legs from lifting weights. Or that running will slim down those thighs. And if you do think it, Im cool with not hearing you say it out loud. Seriously. Theyre not the truth or kind words. Theyre annoying opinions of yours that I dont care about.
