[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re on Instagram too much and you’re setting yourself up for an eating disorder. Stop. You’re healthy. You probably weren’t when you were 26.[/quote]

Or, you’re learning that you can be healthy at a range of weights.

Whatever accounts you’re looking at on IG: stop it.[/quote]
I thought I was looking at healthy accounts though. Like healthy foods and fitness. But they are definitely thinner, so it seems like the lower end of the BMI scale is healthier. [/quote]

The only accounts of that type I follow are ones that are explicitly body positive/body neutral.  The rest of them are diet-pushers masquerading as “healthy.”

I’m not saying don’t pursue health, but that means things like getting enough sleep and not obsessing over your size.  One saying that has really resonated with me is that if the size you want to be requires constant attention to diet and exercise, it’s not healthy.  And I work out daily - I love it - but not for hours.[/quote]
That’s interesting! I follow body-positive, intuitive-eating, fit accounts, but they are all thin. So I guess I’m just feeling odd like, even though my BMI is technically totally healthy it looks from appearance larger than the healthy standard. If that makes sense.[/quote]

So if I follow body-positive intuitive-eating yoga instructors who are all overweight would you then think being overweight is healthiest? No. You follow those accounts because you think thin is attractive in the sense it literally attracts your attention. [/quote]
