When you try to practice a wellness lifestyle without a body-positive lens, you risk falling into "toxic wellness." This looks like pushing through pain in a workout because you want to "burn off" what you ate. It looks like intermittent fasting that turns into disordered eating. It looks like spending Sunday meal prepping kale because you feel deep shame about eating carbs. Afternoon:
Toxic wellness leads to burnout. You cannot hate yourself into a version of yourself you will love. The most groundbreaking truth of modern psychology is that self-esteem does not produce results; self-respect does.
