Welcome back!

As the summer months are coming closer, there’s no doubt you will have seen the bombardment of advertisements attempting to sell you their latest detox drink, laxative lollipop or ‘skinny’ drink.

-These companies don’t care about your confidence.

Many of the weight loss products sold claim to forever change your self-image for the better. However, almost all of the brands concerned make a lot of money out of convincing you you must down their latest milkshake in order to feel good about yourself.

-You don’t need to lose weight for your life to start.

Advertisements generally depict the image of someone who is succeeding in all aspects of their life to have lost a significant amount of weight in order to do so. Contrary to this stereotype, you can be happy regardless of what you weigh.

-Being thin doesn’t mean you are happy or healthy.

There are many aspects to health apart from weight, and when statements connecting weight to health are made, mental health is often ignored. If you are under continuous pressure to buy harmful products in order to lose weight, you are not healthy.

-You are good enough as you are!

Needless to say, you don’t need to lose anything to look good, because you already do.

Take care,
