2.1 Body Positivity

Originating in fat liberation, body positivity challenges systemic weight stigma, anti-fat bias, and the notion that self-worth depends on appearance. Core principles include:

• Body autonomy: Respect for all bodies without judgment.
• Rejection of the “ideal” body: Dismantling racialized, gendered, and ableist beauty standards.
• Size acceptance: Health outcomes are not predicted by weight alone.

Pillar #4: Redefining Health Metrics

In a traditional wellness lifestyle, you track weight, BMI, and waist circumference. In a body positivity and wellness lifestyle, you throw away the scale (or keep it in the garage).

Better metrics to track:

• Your lab work: Blood pressure, A1C, cholesterol, and triglycerides are clinical measures of health that have nothing to do with dress size.
• Your energy levels: Do you wake up feeling rested? Do you crash at 2 PM? Improving nutrition should improve energy, regardless of calories.
• Your mobility: Can you tie your shoes easily? Can you play with your kids or carry groceries? These are the real markers of functional fitness.
• Your sleep quality: Chronic dieting ruins sleep. True wellness improves it.
• Your mood stability: Are you less reactive? Less anxious? That is health.

If your labs are great and you feel amazing, but you are "overweight" by a century-old BMI chart that was designed by a mathematician (not a doctor) studying European white men in the 1830s—the chart is wrong.
