TW: Weight loss related discussion
Food is Fuel. =)
Is this really about your journey to weight loss? Or is it about your journey to defining and achieving your own personal health and fitness goals?
I guess I’m just wondering, is it really about the weight and aesthetics? For you that may be true, but not everyone has that privilege.
If “food is fuel” is associated with power, nourishment and health, then why is it still about weight loss when it’s all said and done? How do you separate the health and the weight loss?
This kind of messaging that floats around sends mixed signals that leave a bad taste in my mouth. When I see words like these being thrown together, to me they seem to contradict one another. When I think about food as fuel, I don’t think about weight loss. I don’t want to associate it with weight loss. For many people, it shouldn’t be about weight loss. I just wish these things were considered more often, words more carefully chosen.
