25.01.2022 Diet culture does not make sense. It is full of rules and rituals that HARM and hinder our health. A lot of the, contradict one another and are deliberately exclusionary. It is sold to people as the gateway to happiness and good virtue, when really it's a bunch or rules that do not take personal history, experiences, relationships and social determinants of health into account. There are so many ways we can take care of ourselves -ways that honour our lives, experiences and... other realms of health. I personally take a Health At Every Size approach. This approach supports me to engage in healthy behaviours that are realistic and sound in science. What was the most ridiculous diet rule you've heard of? #bodypositive #bodypositivity #healthateverysize #haes #allbodiesaregoodbodies #loveyourcurves #selfcare #selflove #diverse #effyourfitnessstandards #fatpositive #HAESIG #melbournefitness #exercise #health #womenshealth #fatacceptance #bodyliberation #fatisnotaviolation #eatingdisorder #bodyimage #diet #diets #stupid #riotsnotdiets #dietculturesucks #weightstigma

25.01.2022 Post workout sweat.... In this heat it doesn't take me much to sweat. Sometimes I dread a workout because I don't want to feel to hot, but you know, sweat feels SO GOOD after a workout.

19.01.2022 Let's talk stretch marks and how flipping normal they are....for every body. When I first saw these fresh stretch marks appear a bit more than a year and a half ago, I panicked. I remember thinking 'this is permanent, and I don't like it'. It was only a week after that my partner noticed them. He said "what's that on your tummy? Did you scratch yourself?" I remember panic rising in me. I said "no, they're stretch marks"... My partner smiled and said "they look really cool, t...hey're like lightning bolts. You should consider getting an AC DC tattoo there". I cracked up. Any embarrassment I had meltaway. I was offered this fresh and innocent perspective of stretch marks. And this new perspective helped me to love them. I really hope that we can all look for beauty within ourselves without needing to hear compliments from others, but sometimes it helps when someone offers are completely innocent and objective opinion. I now see my stretch marks as my powerful lightning bolts. They remind me how strong my body is and that I should never let my partner decide what tattoos I get. If you were to describe your stretch marks with love, how would you describe them? #bodypositive #bopo #bodypositivity #healthateverysize #haes #allbodiesaregoodbodies #loveyourcurves #selfcare #selflove #diverse #effyourfitnessstandards #fatpositive #HAESIG #love #stretchmarks #fatisnotaviolation #fatacceptance #natural #health #womenshealth

19.01.2022 With gratitude to Elissa, a member of our Lived Experience Advisory Board for sharing their lived experience... As a child, teenager and adult, I went on pret...ty much every weight loss diet under the sun. I was successful at so many things, but always failed at diets. I now know that 95% of the time diets don’t actually work. Would you take medicine or have surgery that only had a 5% success rate? And yet the weight loss industry continues to thrive by selling a broken product. Dieting made me miserable and food obsessed. At 44, I am now relearning how to eat and move in a way that enhances my health and wellbeing without silly rules and restrictions. I am also embracing the #bodyneutrality movement which, as a children’s entertainer, is super important to me. Diet culture needs to be systematically dismantled, so no child, teen or adult has to go through the unhealthy relationship with food and movement that I have been through. HAES Australia are incredibly grateful for the leadership and guidance of the Lived Experience Advisory Board, who are a group of community members from diverse backgrounds and experiences, who provide advice and feedback regarding HAES Australia’s activities, plans and policies. The Lived Experience Advisory Board meet four times a year, or as needed, and members are paid for their contributions. HAES Australia, as a group of individual health practitioners, is an organisation working to address weight stigma, notably in healthcare, learn more about weight stigma here https://www.haesaustralia.org.au/weight-stigma-awareness-we.

18.01.2022 So body image and eating disorder awareness week has come to a close. I have been reflecting on the stories people have shared with me directly, and stories I have read from @eatingdisordersvictoria @eatingdisordersqld and @thebutterflyfoundation. If there is one resounding theme that kept popping up, it is the injustice of how people with PCOS are treated; - what treatments they are offered - what services are available to them - how they are supported. ... For the most part there is this emphasis on weight centric treatment that completely disregards relationships to food, body and exercise, and in so many stories I have heard this week, result in eating disorders and poor body image. Thank you to all of those who reached out and shared their stories in one way or another. I look forward to learning more about how I can support people with PCOS and fight for better treatment. #bodypositive #bodypositivity #healthateverysize #haes #allbodiesaregoodbodies #loveyourcurves #selfcare #selflove #diverse #effyourfitnessstandards #fatpositive #HAESIG #melbournefitness #exercise #health #womenshealth #fatacceptance #bodyliberation #fatisnotaviolation #eatingdisorder #bodyimage #pcos #weightstigma #biedaw #pcosfighter #socialjustice #pcosawareness

16.01.2022 legend, body positive babe and experienced hiker Richelle Olsen of Escaping Your Comfort Zone has a few tips on how to enjoy hiking this summer. p.s. i can relate to razorback - I did that hike a little over a year ago. It was amazing and we didn't make it all the way to the end. So worth it. Will go back for more!!!!! https://www.abc.net.au//how-to-stay-safe-during-/12901784

16.01.2022 Do you live in Melton? Are you free tomorrow night? Come to City of Melton webinar on returning to exercise to hear me talk about my journey and passion into body positive exercise https://fb.me/e/3HGpJs6Yn

16.01.2022 Couldn't have said it better myself

16.01.2022 This is weight stigma awareness week. This is a personal trainer (me) doing a plank. There is a lack of representation of people in larger bodies in the fitness industry. There is also a lack of representation of people in larger bodies exercising. I am so glad that @thisgirlcanvic created a wonderful campaign that brings visibility to people who are often judged, might feel unwelcome, or have so many assumptions made about them based on their size. These attitudes shape our... health, what treatments we receive places we go and experiences we have. Stay tuned for more content this week on weight stigma awareness wake including where it pops up, and what you can do about it. #bodypositive #bodypositivity #healthateverysize #haes #allbodiesaregoodbodies #loveyourcurves #selfcare #selflove #diverse #thisgirlcanvic #effyourfitnessstandards #fatpositive #HAESIG #melbournefitness #exercise #health #womenshealth #fatacceptance #bodyliberation #fatisnotaviolation #weightstigmaawarenessweek #weightstigma #bodyimage #weightstigma #wsaw #jiggle #jiggleon

15.01.2022 [Body positivity] stems from the fat acceptance movement, which is more political than anything, [and] was created as a safe space for fat women to celebrate themselves as no one was celebrating us or seeing us and all our interior amazingness for what we were. Now it’s used as a marketing term and has forgotten about the very bodies that created it" This is a fabulous read and really does ring true.

15.01.2022 Does exercise bring you joy? And I'm not talking about joy because it's over, but the movements themselves make you happy, give you relief, a feeling of power or entertainment? Of you want to unpack joyful movement head to the link in my bio to read my guest blog for @eatwithawareness (it's about. 2 minute read). #onlineworkout #bodypositive #bodypositivity #healthateverysize #haes #allbodiesaregoodbodies #loveyourcurves #selfcare #selflove #diverse #thisgirlcanvic #effyourfitnessstandards #fatpositive #HAESIG #melbournefitness #love #instagood #isolation #exercise #joy #joyfulmovement #health #womenshealth #fatacceptance #bodyliberation #fatisnotaviolation

12.01.2022 YES OUTDOOR TRAINING IS BACK FOR VICTORIANS...stay tuned for updates on how we will be offering some outdoor sessions soon..

11.01.2022 Right this moment, the diet and fitness industries are screaming! They may have your attention but if they don’t, don’t relax, because they’ll never stop trying.... @itsbossladymandy They survive on our insecurities, our guilt and our self-mistrust. Diets don’t work, (95% regain within 5 years) but they will blame the failure on you and then show you how you need them to be worthy. These are lies! You are worthy! It’s okay to be in a big body! You can thrive and have joy in a big body! All bodies are worthy of love, respect and joy! You are capable of so much more than you think! You are limitless and infinite! #grrrl #notyourcompetition #togetherwerise #effyourbeautystandards #femaleempowerment #effyourbodystandards #bodyneutral #bodyimage #stophateforprofit

10.01.2022 A few weeks back I participated in an interesting Facebook thread regarding bodypositivity. I was 'informed' by such a lovely, helpful and insightful personal trainer that I am "obese"...Yeah thanks mate! I had no idea I was living in a world that hated my body, questions my food choices, exercise habits, laziness and slaps an irrelevant body label on me that tells them nothing my blood pressure, heart rate, metabolic rate, blood lipids, medical and injury history, trauma, et...c. What I am trying to unpack today is why this person...well actually a fitness professional... Felt the need to label me. Did they want to hurt me? Did they want to anger me? Did they genuinely feel they were helping me? Are they threatened by body positivity? If they wanted to hurt or anger me, they failed. They actually gave me a good laugh. Perhaps they genuinely felt they were helping me. This is a little sad. This trainer clearly doesn't understand how labels like "obesity" reinforce weight stigma, encite fear in some and just doesn't give any actual practical information. There is so much evidence showing that our weight is a poor predictor of health and health outcomes, and we should look to healthy behaviours for a more accurate understanding of a person's health. Using a label like "obesity" is a quick cop out and allows someone to place a judgement on someone which a) reinforces a judge's authority and b)disempowers the judged. Practicing body positive personal training challenges existing power dynamics between #fitpro and client. The prexisting "trainer knows best, client knows nothing" moves to "trainer knows technique, biomechanics, contraindications, risks and how to keep it fun, whilst the client knows what does and does not work for their body". You can see how some personal trainers panic when the status quo is challenged. Moral of the story: challenge the status quo and the evidence on "obesity". Trolls will be trolls but there are genuinely caring personal trainers out there that simply don't know the bodypositive alternative.

10.01.2022 Do you feel good after you exercise? I hope you do. Exercise has given me so much joy and I am really passionate about making it be as enjoyable for other people too. After our #thisgirlcanvic session this morning, people commented on how they found exercise to be boring, unenjoyable and unpleasant in the past , but that our class this morning (aerobics to 90s pop) was so much fun. My heart sings when I hear this. If you are wanting to make exercise enjoyable and fun, head t...o the link in the bio and sign up for a free week trial of Group F.I.T or one of my This Girl Can sessions or both! (Description.

02.01.2022 Just sitting here and reflecting how my life changed when I gave diet culture the shove. Going outside, in public, in a bikini for the first time since I was a child, was really big for me. I have to admit though, this wasn't a straight trajectory into body acceptance. I oscilated a lot between "it's only ok that I am wearing the bikini now cos I plan to lose weight" and "I deserve to be in this bikini regardless" Thankfully, now, after completely accepting my body and honour...ing it, the only thing that determines whether I put a bikini on now is the weather What do you need to feel ready to wear a bikini ? #diversegroupfit #bodypositive #bopo #bodypositivity #healthateverysize #haes #allbodiesaregoodbodies #loveyourcurves #selfcare #selflove #diverse #effyourfitnessstandards #fatpositive #HAESIG #melbournefitness #love #instagood #bikini #bikinibody #bodyliberation #fatliberation #loveyourbody #riotsnotdiets #health #womenshealth #fatisnotaviolation #livefree #iambeautiful #bodyrespect #bodyacceptance
