Hello friends, this time I want to share with all of you a reflection on how we accept ourselves and the influence this has.
While it is true that harassment and discrimination is frowned upon by our society, it is also true that it has been selling a theory of personal acceptance, which I personally think can bring serious consequences to those who apply it.
This theory for example proclaims that we should love and accept ourselves as we are, I think that up to this point everything seems to be fine, the problem is when we end up accepting a degree of obesity.
On Youtube I have seen many channels of some influencers who have videos of food challenges, the worst thing is that they have many visits, you can imagine that a teenager gets carried away by these videos and begins to consume too many calories with foods high in carbohydrates and fats, logically it will fatten disproportionately and therefore will damage their health. It is at this point where the adolescent will be trapped, since he is sold the theory of acceptance of his physique, it is said that no matter how fat he is, it does not matter how fat he is, as long as he likes and accepts himself he is fine.
Logically this theory of acceptance has a depth in society as long as it is a physical problem of birth, but obesity is generated by our own irresponsibility, then apart from the fact that we have been irresponsible with our body and we have fattened it by not being disciplined in our way of eating, then by the way the acquired obesity we have to accept it because supposedly it is part of us.
Let's remove from this fact the static connotation that obesity has, we all know that we do not look good when we are in a higher obesity, however as the idea is to accept ourselves regardless of what others say about us, but where do we leave the consequences that this brings to our health.
Friend do not be fooled by this false, if you want you can change, you do not have to accept yourself fat, man by nature in its design is not made for obesity, our ancestors took their food from nature by hunting animals, their situation made them fall into long fasts, but it is because it was a forced situation, therefore the fat reserves was very valuable to not starve to death. However, nowadays obesity no longer has that function of primitive man, now we lead a very sedentary life, where we do not need so many energy reserves in our diet.
I conclude this post reflecting on the fact that I agree with physical acceptance as long as it is congenital, however what I do not agree with is that a person has to accept an obesity product of its high caloric intake, and more if we take into account the serious health consequences that this entails, On the contrary, I agree with any person who does not feel satisfied with his or her obesity and starts working on practicing sports and eating a healthier diet, all these are habits of improvement that do not go hand in hand with the false theory of acceptance. personal.
