Dear GK,

You do you. As long as you are doing things with and for your body and health that you love, and that make your life better, I’m all for it.

What I’m not for is using the word health as a way of holding bodies to unfair and often sexist, racist, or any other -ist standards. As long as health and weight aren’t considered synonymous, I’m totally fine with health. I love that kind of health. The kind that doesn’t assume skinny is true health and knows that weight doesn’t reflect one’s moral failing or character strength in any way. That kind of health is great and keeps us alive!

But I don’t love it when I’m advised to fit into a certain size or look a specific way so society will call me good-looking. That’s not health advice; that’s just an annoying opinion I didn’t ask for.

—Jolenta
