I was scrolling through Pinterest today and I was shocked at the amount of fitspiration content that is actually just disguised pro-thinness. There were so many quotes about not stopping when you are tired and pushing through the pain. I think this kind of content is incredibly dangerous for people who are already struggling with their body image.

It promotes an unhealthy level of obsession and can easily lead to injury or burnout. We need to be more critical of the media we consume. I have started blocking accounts that promote these extreme mindsets. I want to see content that encourages rest and self compassion as much as hard work.

How do you filter the content you see online? Have you noticed a shift in what is considered fitspiration lately? I am trying to create a digital environment that supports my self acceptance journey rather than tearing it down.
