Agree with all of the above. A post that vague is so triggering. She is within her rights to only disclose what she feels comfortable to her but it doesn’t sit right with me that she’s pivoted to a “lurrrrrve your sexy cellulite” platform without addressing what sounds like might have been a serious over exercising problem before. That would be a much more powerful and beneficial stance to take if that is what has happened.
It sounds to me like she had to give up excercise and embrace not being super shredded out of medical necessity, not because she became enlightened to respect her natural figure. As in, she could no longer be the societal ideal of what a perfect body looks like so is instead telling 800k people that she is still attractive under the guise of empowerment and body positivity. Which obviously she is still attractive (not personally suggesting this is dictated by body type), I’m just trying to say I feel she’s publically dealing with her own body image issues rather than sending out a useful positive message and I wonder how healthy this is for her wider audience.
I think the point I’m trying to make is that clearly Chessie’s messsge might be useful to women in similar positions. But I do wonder how healthy it is for women without body image issues to follow someone so fixated on their own body in this way under the guise that it is healthy and empowering.
