Thing is, she’s now 30 going on 31, your body is not gonna be the same as 5 years ago, typically speaking. If you want to maintain a particular physique we all know it becomes harder as you age. It’s a hard thing to come to realise and to accept that if you want to look a certain way, you do have to have greater consideration for what to eat, how to move etc. I’m definitely not saying people should eat less / healthier or do tons of exercise by any means, just that our bodies change and that’s ok and either we change our lifestyles to feel better or we choose to feel good in the skin we’re in and be appreciative of our bodies as they are.
So it’s sad that she’s so hard on herself and I feel bad that she goes through such tough periods with regards to her relationship with her own body. And unfortunately we live in a world now where everything else seems so immediate, we can get anything we want within minutes at the touch of a button, that we have started to view our bodies in that frame of reference too.
Why wait and toil to get a body you want when you could have it almost instantaneously, albeit at a great cost? It’s human nature to want what’s easiest, it’s called the law of least effort.
I’m not advocating that it’s for everyone, but for me there is something unsettling about that mindset.
