Looking for fitspiration
A few days ago I was browsing some tumblrs, hoping for some fitspiration, and I came across some ‘thinspiration’ sites.
I’m sure you’ve heard of them - they are essentially pro-anorexia propaganda encouraging people to stop eating and giving tips on how to hide it from other people. They are scattered with pictures of young girls showing off their protruding bones and upholding the “thigh gap” as the skinny girls’ nirvana. I was completely shocked by what I was seeing. Eating disorders are serious illnesses and should be treated by specialists, not encouraged.
This tumblr is, and always will be, about exercise and healthy eating (sometimes not so healthy…) I have never suffered from an eating disorder and I will never be pro-ana. I want to become a healthy and strong woman, not a thin and frail girl. Strong is the new skinny.
