I honestly don't see what people are so worked up about - it seems very obvious to me that words like "healthy" and "fit" can apply to a wide variety of shapes and sizes which is only positive in my eyes. And I can't personally relate to skinny people being body shamed (my body just isn't a shape that will ever be described as "skinny", something Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09938307313027495753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149993610539974728.post-37727944128092335172015-06-03T12:13:21.990-07:002015-06-03T12:13:21.990-07:00amen sister. amen sister.

People think it's okay to body shame thin people but it's all body shaming, any time you talk about someone's body in a negative way, you know? it just infuriates me, the stupidity and ignorance of some people. i agree with you Kristen @ See You In A Porridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592108031437491276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149993610539974728.post-30874114563983034862015-06-03T09:09:22.589-07:002015-06-03T09:09:22.589-07:00Yes yes yes!

I say that to my patients all the time. I never want you to be skinny I want you to change your eating habits to be healthy! I can't believe people are slamming her. I love LC.

It's much healthier imo to use works like "healthy, fit, toned" because those words comes in all different shapes and sizes. For too long magazines have plastered their "skinny" BS and a lot of women struggle to meet that criteria. The sad thing is, a lot of women just aren't MADE that way.
