The “Skinny is Healthy” era has resurfaced once again. It never really went away, but I feel like with the latest Hollywood trends and new medications it is more evident than ever. Every commercial, every award show, influencers etc.. You name it is trying to sell you something to lose weight and to be smaller. Not preaching health, just losing pounds.
You can have a larger body, and still be in good health.
Never forget that the BMI scale was founded by a white male mathematician. Not a medical professional. 😐
So the next time you’re at the doctor, remember you can refuse to have your weight taken, or tell them to you know what if they do say that you are obese due to the BMI scale. Better yet, find a new doctor.

My last PCP whom I loved, never brought up my weight once. What she did document on my file, was iconic and will be on a t-shirt one day. ➡️➡️📈

Anyway. Stay thicc. Get strong. 🍑

(I WILL SAY, don’t come for me. If you are trying to be in a smaller body because that makes you feel the best, do it! Just do it for yourself and not because what’s her face said to).
