#fbf Phenomenal meeting @katiehwillcox this past weekend! Still reflecting and unpacking all the knowledge she dropped @propelwater #CoLabs especially on the topic of #bodyimage 🍑 I remember back in the day I teased or whistled at hard cuz of my booty as I grew into my teenage years in Texas. I hated it, wore long t-shirts and looked to magazines for workouts to trim down da buns! 🍑 Fast forward to post-college pro life, I sometimes couldn't wear what other females wore, cuz when I did, it was called out as "inappropriate" for the work place. 🍑 Now, I'm getting DMs, texts and questions in the locker room on how to get a bubble butt, how many squats do I usually do, etc (especially after my last post). 🤣 And folks won't believe when I tell'em I was trying to reduce da booty in high school. 🍑 Katie brought to light the history of body image in this country and how strategic fashion outlets + media have been in brainwashing folks to the point where people, regardless of gender, are CONSUMED with achieving the latest trendy figure! I was aware of the practice but to hear how deep-rooted it was in our culture was an appalling reminder. 🍑 Cool. If you wanna start out a fitness regimen bcuz of 1 body part, fine - whatever gets you to get active. But eventually (and hopefully!), that goal will turn into you simply wanting to achieve peak health, feeling good, eating clean, and being as strong as possible! 🍑 Why strong as possible? You'll never know when that extra strength will come in handy, especially in terms of defending yourself or the ones you love. 🍑 Quit lookin' backwards at yer booty + look forward to achieving peak health (or someone else bootiyah 🤣) cuz #healthyisthenewskinny 🙌🏽🙌🏽 #selflovery #youarebeautiful #youareenough #yougotenoughbooty #mawarriors #fitlife #fitfam #fittribe #latinxfitness #fitdesi #bootysofig #fitgal #katiehilcox #flashbackfriday (at Santa Monica, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ZYWLXphRz/?igshid=gn0m1hurn3y8
