Even if you have a fantastic body,there will be a zillion people who will comment about it rudely."Fit-shaming" is like the in thing these days..

I love fitness and never think of it as a torture.I can even get up at 4 am and workout coz am passionate about it..
The comments I get?

1) you are a married older woman..what is the obsession to be fit?
2)Madam thinks she is a young girl..
3) Vanity
4)One of the worst I have got is.."who are you trying to attract?
5) You have lost your charm etc..

It is crazy I tell you..ultimately we need to fix our goals and work towards it.
That is all I have decided.
Even if I am 90,if I have the strength I promised myself I will workout It keeps me light and healthy and calms my anxieties.

So what is your goal.We can work with that..

In your situation..what could work is..

1) Try carb cycling..it works wonders.One day do your regular carbs and other day go low carb.

2) Can you get up little early 3 days a week and do body weight exercises?Try power yoga..you can it at home,3 days a week.It will do wonders.

3)Hydrate yourself well.

4)Consciously cut off junk food.

Also..if your inlaws comment so much,tell them to give you time to workout.Ask mil to do some help.That way it will be okay.

Do not worry..it is tough in your situation but take baby steps..you will be good in no time.

Good luck dear.

I know about “fat shaming” , but “fit shaming” is very new to me...how can anyone make such unkind remarks to anyone who works to hard to stay fit and eat healthy?
Basically, what ever the age of a person, one needs to stay fit and healthy and maintain a normal BMI range ...looks and attractiveness is just on aspect but , mainly to stay healthy and avoid health issues and lifestyle diseases which come from being obese...self esteem also improves when we are confident about our bodies...
don’t know how someone can’t put you down like this...
I know many people of different age groups who could control their blood sugar levels, joint pains, menstrual issues, normalise hormonal irregularities, reduce TTC time, etc just by reducing excess weight..

Do you know waist fat is very bad to health? Maybe you used to exercise your lower part of the body a lot in the past and you don't do it anymore, that's why this is happening? Doing squats and lunges coupled with cardio should help you. Most important do not give in to criticism. Thinking too much and stressing it out also affects metabolism. Keep a positive spirit and don't give up.

Hi... actually since childhood itself my body structure is like this only...
I was not so bothered earlier..I just wanted to reduce few kilos and maintain my weight and look presentable ...
This pandemic has really caused severe stress and affected my emotions and self esteem...

It is not just for me..Many people who are fit also go through unkind remarks..

No matter what you are and do...there will be put down artists..not just about fitness but in any field.

It could affect BUT I do not let it stop me in doing what I want.That is the best we need to do.

Anyways..I think you can really do it and be your best dear.Just try the tips I had mentioned and surely it will work.It could be difficult but you are capable to do it

Good luck

Because fit people are not necessarily size zero. They can look bulky and be shamed for that. Being skinny is not necessarily healthy. It is another matter that skinny people are also targeted sometimes. In summary, we women are judged for every possible reason. We wrack our brains and body to achieve that impossible sense of perfection.

Yes you're right...a person can be very healthy and physically fit yet look well built and hefty..
Slim people need not be fit always...
Even years ago when I was slimmer, I remember getting so tired just by walking 1 km...
Poeple are always judged for something or the other, and perfection is impossible to achieve.

Can a gluten free diet help in weight loss?
I feel overall weight loss would trim down the flab in lower areas,.even little toning can give better appearance..to look curvy and not overweight at the Sam etime.
