Powerful post and painfully relatable. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m vain and obsessed with my body, and I absolutely hate it. People think it’s okay to comment on fit bodies because it fits society’s mold of “beauty” and “health,” but in reality, it sucks. I’m so glad you wrote about this.
Second time reading through, as I recommended your Substack to a friend, and I am genuinely newly inspired to get jacked. Excellently written, and I think every woman can identify with that painful awareness of their deviation/proximity to the beauty ideal. It’s a hell of a difference in how we move through the world (and are allowed to).
