It makes me sad seeing women hate on other women for wanting to change their bodies in a safe way that makes them healthier and feel better just like fat shaming makes me sad. But pleasing men isn't the only reason to lower your body fat and workout. No, we don't exist to be thin, pretty baubles to be stared at. Yes, sexist standards exist for women's bodies. This reminds me how sad I felt on one of my favorite feminist groups seeing all the 'my resolution is to eat as shitty as possible, etc,' 'my resolution is to (insert thing here about staying overweight followed by something promoting binge eating, being sedentary, etc behaviors like they're an act of progressive rebellion)', like you're damaging the patriarchy by taking bad care of yourself. I'm referring to the resolutioners there to better themselves.not criticize or interrupt the regular gym goers. Let’s build on the fitness and health community!ĮDIT/CLARIFICATION: Just want to be clear since I feel we may mix 2 different ppl up.Resolutioners and douchie new members in Jan that enrolled for the promotional pricing are 2 very different profiles. I’m sure no one else is more disappointed in them than they are knowing very well that as much as they feel driven today they are probably really nervous about failing and, maybe, again…ĭo as you please but I encourage everyone to encourage those resolutioners if ever the opportunity pops up or, at the very least, don’t say anything if what you feel like saying is negative and discouraging.

There’s a BIG difference between wanting something and actually doing everything in your power to get it. Which is why most start on the fitness journey and end up quitting weeks later…year after year.

Most think it’s purely a getting motivated thing rather than a discipline and consistency thing. What I hear? I need help!!! Most don’t ask for it or even know they need to. I get it, sometimes, all you hear is blab la bla. To get healthy (ier), to lose weight, gain muscle mass, start working out… I totally understand the dislike of temporarily overloaded gyms in January and all the ‘New Year, New Me’ posts but at the end of the day each individual person has something in common with us…they ‘want’ to better themselves.

Remember weight loss is not always the motivation for fitness, and is not always the right answer.Īs a trainer and coach that’s main objective is to help people feel great about themselves while looking great I find it so interesting how so many in the fitness community hate on the resolutioners.
