@bdccarpenter: What is your PERFECT body? If you could click your fingers and look like anyone in the world, who would it be? Now here is an interesting thing to consider. Beauty standards shift over time, depending on where you live, who you spend time with and what kind of media you consume. For example, guys at the moment tend to want to be REALLY muscular, but that’s actually quite a new phenomenon. If you asked dudes in the 1980s what they wanted to look like, I guarantee the % of teenagers who were interested in taking anabolics was a teeny tiny fraction to how it is today. Likewise, more women are training now to build their glutes, but if you rewind a couple of decades, a lot of women opted for thinner, less muscular physiques. I am all for body autonomy. You can look however you want. It is your life after all. But sometimes it is important to remind yourself that the body image pressures you might be crumbling under are temporary, you know? P.S. this is a repost because I am recovering from surgery, and yes I know the timing irony of talking about body image at the moment lol. P.P.S. My best-selling book, ‘Everything Fat Loss’ is currently on sale as a brand-new audiobook, plus digital/print versions from Barnes and Noble, Apple, Kobo, Google, and Amazon with an extra 10% off in the US and an extra 7% in the UK. Feel free to grab it before the price goes up (Iink in profile). #weightloss #fatloss #sixpack #sixpackabs #workout #bodyimage #Fitness #fitnessmodel #fashionmodel #model #physique #bodybuilding #bodybuilder #caloriedeficit #caloriesinvscaloriesout #exercise #perfect #perfection #perfectionist #diet #nutrition #health #fatlosstips #weightlosstips #therock #rocky #boxing #hair #hairtransplant #hairtransformation #fyp #foryou #fypシ
