Hey Lovelies! I decided to do this because Angie (sassyyogi) is traveling abroad and can’t do the next installment of the Yoga Challenge. I loved the first one so much and I didn’t want to stop! I really think documenting the poses are great for progress and to actually really know you’re doing the post correctly.

Remember not to push yourself, just do as much as you can and don’t worry. We’re all in this together for learning, progress and fun! Hold each pose for 4 deep breaths and move out of the pose slowly.

Please tag your posts #fhnjulyyoga #fitnesshealthnutrition or #julyyogachallenge and I’ll be tracking them! Message me if you need anything or have any questions! I really hope you enjoy this challenge I’ve put together! :)

Skinny Shaming

Ok, so i’m not trying to get you to pity me, but I felt the need to address this. I’m a size 0-2 (depends on the store), and I weigh less than 100 pounds. I eat what I want, exercise regularly, participate in PE, and my doctors say I am at a healthy weight for my height (i’m barely 5 feet). I constantly get called anorexic behind my back, when in reality I am very healthy. I eat veggies, fruit, protein, all that good stuff. But I also eat cakes, cookies, snickers, candies, ice cream, etc. And no, I do not throw it all up. It’s just the way I am, I was born with this body type. But something I’ve been noticing on Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, and in real life, is that when people are trying to defend and comfort someone more curvy,  often times we just insult people who are slim. Sometimes that evolves into stereotyping people who are slim to be anorexic, ugly, and just disgusting. Now, don’t get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing against people with curves. I think everyone is beautiful, but this just pisses me off so much. I mean, I’m starting to feel bad about being slim! What I want everyone reading this to remember is that

not all slim people have an eating disorder

never insult another group of people to defend another

except all body types

there is such a thing as skinny shaming, and it needs to stop
