You cannot have a body positivity and wellness lifestyle without addressing the mind. Body dysmorphia and disordered eating are not vanity; they are mental illnesses.

Consider the concept of body neutrality, a cousin to body positivity. While "positivity" asks you to love every roll and stretch mark (which can feel impossible), neutrality asks you to simply respect your body.

In a body positive lifestyle, there are no "good" foods and "bad" foods. There is just food.

“You can pursue health without pursuing thinness.”
— Anonymous

“Your body is not a project to be fixed. It is a living, breathing ecosystem that deserves respect—right now, not 10 pounds from now.”

“Self-love doesn’t mean never wanting to change. It means treating yourself with kindness while you grow.”

The most common pushback to the body positivity and wellness lifestyle is the accusation that it ignores health risks. This is a straw man argument.

Body positivity does not say, "Health outcomes don't matter." It says, "Shame is not a medical intervention."

Doctors who practice Health at Every Size (HAES) have found that when they stop telling patients to lose weight and instead encourage joyful movement and balanced eating, patients’ blood pressure drops, their cholesterol improves, and their depression lifts—even if they do not lose a single pound.

Health behaviors improve health. Weight loss is a possible side effect, not the goal.
