Losing weight is part of being HEALTHY

THIS.

I was watching a talk show about “toxic diet culture” that featured a panel of women who embrace the “body positvity” movement in order to learn to love their bodies, fat, rolls, and all. While I agree that no one should be fat-shamed, we also know from a medical standpoint that obesity is a contributer to all sorts of health issues.

For me, my cholesterol is OK, but it has been on the rise for several years as I have put on weight. My glucose & A1C levels have now put me in the pre-diabetic range. My doctor is encouraged that I’ve out 20 lbs since January, when I discovered Pahla B & the 5-0 method. But she cautioned that if my A1C continues to rise, that will also increase my risk of heart disease & heart attack (right now, my risk is low).

I don’t hate how I look in the mirror. I don’t feel fat-shamed. I don’t feel “toxic” thoughts with regard to my weight, nor do I feel that the 5-0 method creates a “toxic” culture.

I need to LOSE WEIGHT for my HEALTH. And that’s what I’m doing. Thanks Pahla B! ❤🐝
