24 Carrot Life

Katie started this food-centric health blog four years ago to show readers that eating healthy, eating simply, and eating well are not mutually exclusive.

InstagramYears ago, a friend told me that he thought I was getting "too diesel" (aka bulky). At the time, this comment really disturbed me. I felt angry that someone felt it was appropriate to comment on my body in this way, but moreso I wondered, "Is it true? Am I too diesel/jacked/muscular?" • I remember feeling extremely vulnerable and questioning my choices for my body, all because someone thought it was okay to decide that I was was "too much." The funny thing is that now, after spending years reclaiming my worth and my personal power, I welcome the concept of taking up space with my body and my voice. • While I never think it's okay to impose your thoughts and perceptions on someone else's body, I use these comments as an opportunity to both open a dialogue and stand in my power. • Now when someone says I look jacked, I simply reply, "Fuckin' right I do." What I choose to do with my body, how I choose to adorn it and train it - that's my prerogative. My body literally has nothing to do with anyone but me. • What it comes down to is this: THE ONLY OPINION OF YOUR BODY THAT MATTERS IS YOUR OWN. So rather than stressing out over whether someone thinks you're "too jacked/lean/big/fat/skinny..." spend your energy cultivating an opinion of your body that is loving and compassionate - one that isn't conditional or destructive. #jackedandtan #toomuscular #diesel #bodypositive #musclesandmindfulness #girlswholift #nastywoman #strongbetch 📷@violetartistry
