"Lose Hate Not Weight" is the philosophy that guides my work as a lecturer, activist and author. LHNW seeks to de-center self-hatred and scarcity - or the "I am never good enough" mindset - as a central motivator in people's lives and re-center self-care and self-love.
Our culture's current understanding of health and beauty is limited. Health encompasses many facets: mental health, sexual health, spiritual health as well as physical health. The truth is: they are all connected. Likewise, despite what we've been taught, beauty is not a finite resource. It is all around us.
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
