we are human and that’s beautiful 🫶

I’m sad that I have to post this photo in order to defend this woman’s body weight in the gals space. But this post is gaining traction. This gal is Sara Puhto, a former fitness model who has a titanium spine now. In her video, she is not doing anything to hold her stomach in or have good posture, and holding her belly out. This is her flexing.

... Read moreIn recent years, the conversation around body image and fitness has evolved significantly. Sara Puhto's story serves as a powerful reminder that every body is unique and deserving of respect. After her career as a fitness model, where she often felt pressured to conform to specific standards, Sara now showcases her authentic self, exploring themes of self-acceptance and vulnerability. Her willingness to display her unfiltered reality resonates with many who struggle with similar feelings of inadequacy and comparison, especially in a world dominated by filtered images on social media. This shift towards embracing natural beauty marks an important step in redefining fitness culture, encouraging individuals to appreciate their bodies for what they can do, rather than how they appear. Sara's approach to health and fitness now focuses on listening to her body and prioritizing mental well-being. Experts suggest that this perspective fosters a healthier relationship with exercise and nutrition, making wellness more inclusive. Ultimately, the message is clear: being human, with all our perceived imperfections, is what makes life beautiful and worth celebrating.

Anyone else feel behind in life? 💬👇
Due to chronic illnesses and major anxiety, I felt like I fell behind in life, while it was passing me by. For 7 years, I took a break from everything, basically putting my life on pause, to focus on my physical and mental health. I was extremely insecure about this. I can’t help but compare myself
