While this method works for a short time (the "New Year's Resolution" effect), it is a catastrophic failure for long-term wellness. You cannot shame yourself into loving yourself. You cannot hate your way to health.
Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can. Your body is your ally, not your adversary. It is time to start treating it that way.
Body positivity is not a medical claim that all weights are equally healthy. It is a sociological claim that all people deserve respect and access to healthcare regardless of their size.
Furthermore, many people in straight-sized bodies struggle with the same issues. A thin person who obsesses over macros, weighs themselves three times a day, and cancels social plans to go to the gym is not "well." They are suffering from an anxiety disorder masked by virtue.
The is the act of taking your power back. It is the declaration that you are allowed to take up space. It is the choice to be a healthy, happy, imperfect human being rather than a perfect, miserable statue.
