Nudist Junior Contest 20087 Chunk 3 Upd -
Treating your body with respect, feeding it adequately, and moving it joyfully is not "glorifying" anything. It is the baseline of human dignity.
The rebuttal is simple: Shame is not a sustainable motivator. For decades, we tried shame. It led to eating disorders, weight stigma in doctors' offices (where overweight patients are told to lose weight for a broken arm—a real phenomenon), and skyrocketing rates of mental illness.
You can exercise because you love your muscles, not because you hate your belly. You can eat a salad because it tastes good and gives you energy, not because you are "being good." You can rest without guilt.
