@ellzrosemai: I was told I have late stage 1 lipedema. I train 6 times a week. I walk every day. I eat well. I prioritise protein. I strength train. I use a vibration plate. I dry brush. And still... my legs look like this. That's the reality of lipedema. This isn't about being lazy. This isn't about "just losing weight." This isn't about not trying hard enough. Lipedema is a chronic condition that causes abnormal fat to build up, and for many people it doesn't respond to diet and exercise the same way typical body fat does. If you've ever looked at someone and thought, "Why don't they just work out?" I hope this changes your perspective. And if you have lipedema I hope this reminds you that your effort is not invisible. #lipoedema #lipedemafighter #chronicillnessawareness #bodypositivity #bodyacceptance
