I know they mean well. But I really dont prefer being told, Ill get there as a means of encouragement when seeing my image along with anything fitness/wellness related. If we are talking, Ill grow as a person, Ill continue to evolve then sure, Im always aiming for that. But if were talking its cool, you are a work in progress, eventually your body will get (wherever the magical there is), kindly, no thank you. I get it. Encouragement. Work hard, reach your goals. But what youre missing is I no longer have aesthetic goals. Not mad if you do. (Do you! Autonomy, yay!) But please dont hand any of those to me. Im really happy as I am. And I know that sounds crazy, perhaps really different than what youve heard before and if so- soak it in for a minute. I am a woman. In a body. Who has not won any competitions for best body ever, and yet I have zero current goals to change that. That statement is not synonymous with a state of unhealthiness. It doesnt mean Ive given up. It simply means that right now in this moment I am not putting forth specific effort to look different. Whats even crazier is I know how to do that. Ive done it! Ive shrunk, Ive gained muscle mass, I learned to design programs to do so. I have been much smaller. I enjoyed that body and I enjoy the body I am in today. Please dont assume others goals. If calling your body a work in progress feels good to you, totally do that. Thats not what I call mine, Id prefer name my own simply Home. xo
