Repost from @beauty_redefined seen on @fyeahmfabello ‘s stories- “It is hard to escape people glorifying weight loss with before/after posts, even in the world of body positivity. This is an issue because it perpetuates the popular diet culture idea that smaller is always better, healthier and happier.
✖️Actions speak louder than words, and on IG, photos speak soooo much louder than captions. Yes, maybe she lost weight after kicking bad habits or breaking through shame to enjoy physical activity. Yay! But if the "progress" or "transformation" shown is one where her body became smaller, that post -at its core- is not celebrating happy lifestyle changes, it is celebrating exactly what the image shows: weight loss. It is reinforcing the inescapable message that health equals thinness, and that body love leads to (and maybe even requires) body shrinking.
✖️Weight loss is fine. Showing it online is fine. But we've gotta be straight about it and realize the consequences of posting those images. If you want to show off your new size, receive validation, or sell your weight loss plan, that's fine, but don't co-opt #bodypositivity rhetoric to do it. If you are going to promote body acceptance and the message that our bodies are OK at any size, you can't *also* post and celebrate before-and-after weight loss pics. We have to learn to separate our ideas about our worth and health from cultural ideals that thinner is better.
✖️Why? Because research shows many major health and fitness improvements DO NOT result in weight loss. And because research shows most women measure their health "success" in terms of weight loss, and when doesn't happen, we often give up entirely or go to extremes that result in eating disorders, overexercise and shame. Even when weight loss does occur, 95%+ of people will gain it back and more within 5 yrs, so these posts are going to be painful for future you, too!
✖️We have to challenge the value system that tells us smaller is always better. This system sets us up to fail. Your body isn’t defined by its size and YOU are not defined by your body.

@mattmcgorry people who used to be overweight and who then worked hard to get healthier have the bragging rights to show off that work if they want to. This post is part of a terrible ideological disease which pushes harmful standard as “good” because otherwise it would hurt people’s feelings. Posts like this, instead of saying that what’s wrong is giving your worth a value based on things such as looks, actually say that you should be proud of the flaws that you could actually change for your betterment. Being thin because you’re throwing up, not eating, or anything harmful it’s wrong; however, being thin compared to your overweight self because you started eating better and exercising is amazing. You’ll feel better, with more energy, you’ll sleep better, feel happier because of the endorphins you produce during exercise, you’ll feel accomplished and eager for more. “It is reinforcing the inescapable message that health equal thinness, and that body love leads to (and maybe even requires) body shrinking,” being healthier leads to the loss of fat weight (unless you have a disorder that won’t allow that to happen) and even if you don’t lose a significant amount of weight by being healthier you’d still shrink because the size of fat compared to lean muscle is significantly bigger. Also, body acceptance is loving your body as it should be (the factions you were born with that you can’t change) not about eating terribly and accepting the consequences of it. If you LOVE your body you’d take care of it, you’d give it good food and good exercise, not let it get sick with high amounts of fat and the diseases that it brings with it. You should not be defined by your body, but your body should be defined by you.

In my experience, my weight loss changed my life. I was not healthy, therefore I was way beyond simply overweight. I ate a lot, lots of carbs, no physical activity at all. I was unhealthy, other than severely overweight. My bones were hurting, my back is suffering permanent damage and rapid deterioration due to my weight, my walk was affected by the weight on my knees. Last but not least, I’ve never been able to be confident about myself, because I couldn’t find anything that would fit me. But primarily, since I agree with you, I was not confident because guys I liked always insulted/despised me because of my weight. Skinny was beautiful, fat, in any shape and size, was despicable to the majority of my peers. I grew up with the idea that I was ugly, and I still believe I am. Because I let the world judge me and decide how I had to be. The moment I let go of other people’s expectations, I started to lose weight. For my health, not to please others. Society has destroyed me, as well as others, and I’m still bearing the burden of all the suffering I’ve been through my entire life. No matter what, you need to be free and feel beautiful in any shape and size, but I didn’t feel good in my body because it was not healthy, not only because I was clinically obese.

This is absolutely ridiculous and stupid. As someone who is currently on a weight loss journey, I completely disagree with this. I am not losing weight because I think a smaller body will be better for me, I am losing weight because I want to be healthier and I want to not be in pain anymore. Body positivity is about loving your body as it is, yes. But you also have to love your body enough to know what is good for it. You can still be body positive and promote weight loss. People share their before and after photos because they have worked hard and they are proud of themselves. It is not to receive validation. It is not to make someone else feel bad, it is because they are proud of their work. And they should be. If you love your body the way it is, great! If you want to get stronger or maybe lose a few pounds, great. If not, that is great too. But you don’t get to make others feel bad about their work. Body positivity covers EVERYONE! You can’t preach about body positivity and the shame someone for their progress photos because it “makes you feel bad”. That makes you part of that problem.

I completely disagree with this post. If you want to teach women to love their bodied regardless of size then encourage and applaud women when they get to a size they’ve WORKED FOR. if you guys dont want women posting before and after pictures of their progress then that overall IS body shaming itself. & please what research shows that health and fitness does not contribute to weight loss? Please be more specific. Health and fitness is the MAIN source of not just weight loss but a better lifestyle. I myself am very active and make it part of my daily routine to at least get some exercise in, even something as simple as walking. & btw most people gain it back in 5 years because they dont continue to maintain a healthy and fit lifestyle. I feel that you dont have to starve yourself in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle. These pictures are not intended to hurt anyone, its for the pure joy and feeling of accomplishment for the woman who has worked so hard. Please stop body shaming in this sense and do some research.

Victimhood mentality via fat acceptance. Shifting the blame onto society instead of yourself. Being offended by someone else's success. Believing that weightloss is damaging and unsustainable. (Sure, if not done the correct way and if said person is already at a healthy weight to begin with) .Expecting others around you to change instead of facing the problem and changing yourself. Creating this pandering narrative that gives you an excuse not to do anything about your health. Using one eating disorder (ana) to uplift another eating disorder (binge eating, food addiction). Making up bullshit "facts" (healthy at any size) to further pander to your self love narrative. Saying your body is your business. (That's only half true, you can get whatever body modifications you want that doesn't cost us billions of dollars in shared healthcare costs, that comes out of EVERYONE'S taxes.) Self love is fucking awesome! But it's not that easy, it takes a lot of effort and work.

Okay. I am all for people being happy at every size But I can’t help but disagree with this post. If people can post their pictures when they’re overweight, Why can’t people post their pictures after losing the weight? Also isn’t social medias made for people to post their pictures? And although lots of people seem to love being dishonest, yes thin doesn’t equal health but being fat definitely doesn’t equal health either. If someone was overweight and lose the weight to make their lives easier, then I think they should be Danm proud to post their before and after pictures on social media which is a public platform. I don’t understand how you’re for body positivity yet also want to shame people for being thin or losing weight. If you don’t want to see someone posting their before and after pictures, then simply unfollow them and keep it moving. You see? Life is quite simple!??♀️
