I’ve fallen into the “I’ll wait when I weigh…” mindset ever since I was in high school. Constantly reminded by movies, by family, by friends, by everything around me, that you have to look (and even weigh) a certain way to experience some things, TO BECOME A CERTAIN SOMEONE.
I never saw someone like me proudly claim they enjoy fitness,
I never saw someone like me happily wear a sleeveless sun dress,
I never saw someone like me model for a fitness brand because it just “doesnt make sense”
WELL, 15-year old me, NOW YOU HAVE
It helps that the gym I went to aligns with my values and my goals. I have never felt alienated in this space, in fact I always felt included- why? Because fitness was NOT defined by thinness and weight alone here. It was defined by STRENGTH. And strong can look SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS! Thank you Kinetix Lab for rewiring fitness for me.
And to keith and chloe 🪷 for letting me into that random gym tour !!!
I canNOT wear shirts or cover-ups. I’d rather sweat in my sports bra than with a shirt on.
The same theory here. I sweat a lot. So why wear sleeves 😭
When I unlocked this, that’s how I knew I’ve really grown out of the prison of “having the perfect body”— your body NOW is already worth celebrating!!! Worth enjoying!! Worth dressing pretty for!
This. Was. Surreal. With one of my fave brands too!!! Ily Wheyl thank u for being one of the first brands that took a chance on a plus size content creator starting out in the scene!
Fitness events are spaces for me to WITNESS FITNESS AND STRENGTH IN DIFFERENT WAYS! I truly enjoy being in events like this, and even races because you get to see what types of strong there are! Plus you empathize with the fitness because you have an idea how hard and how heavy certain workouts are.
If you were looking for a body like yours, I hope you have with this post!
