The "Lose Hate Not Weight" campaign is part of my vision to debunk the current fatphobic health model, which equates thinness with fitness and health. It is also the philosophy that guides my coaching practice. Health encompasses many facets: mental health, sexual health, spiritual health as well as physical health. And the truth is they are all connected.
I worked with an amazingly talented chiropractor for a year, and he taught me that one of the most important elements of physical health was emotional well-being. If you can eradicate or minimize things in your life that cause you mental anguish, you are in the best shape to minimize or eradicate physical pain. A life with less unwanted pain or no unwanted pain is a better life. Dieting and obsessive thinking around food and exercise create stress, and stress worsens your mental health as well as your physical, sexual, and spiritual health.
Take these little images with you and think about them. Let them remind you to let go of the hate in your life.
Love,
Virgie
