I’ve got a pr***en in the house who is already struggling with comparison and body image and here is what I want her to know about health —
Health is not a thigh gap.
It’s not a number on a scale.
It’s not looking like the girls on TikTok.
Health is energy to laugh with your friends.
It’s muscles that let you climb, dance, play, and feel strong.
It’s fueling your body instead of shrinking it.
It’s sleeping well.
It’s speaking kindly to yourself.
Your body is not an ornament. It’s an instrument.
It was made to live in — not constantly fix.
You will never win the comparison game. There will always be someone taller, leaner, prettier, louder. But there is only one you. And the goal isn’t to be smaller… it’s to be confident, capable, and at peace in your own skin.
Strong > skinny.
Confident > comparison.
Healthy > perfect.
And I’ll remind you of that as many times as it takes
