It’s Not Shallow to Care About How You Look

I had my first SlimFast shake when I was 11 years old and spent the next 15 years struggling my way through every diet under the sun.
Through all of high school and college I suffered from body image issues, fatigue, bad skin and thinning hair, all for a body I was embarrassed of.
If anyone knows how dangerous dieting can be for your mind, body and spirit it’s me.
At Summer Tomato my number one mission for the last five and half years has been to get people to stop dieting. Not only does it not work, it actually makes it harder to become fit and healthy.
Dieting also makes your life suck, and that is unacceptable.
I know this. But that doesn’t mean I believe you should give up on trying to look your best.
Far from it.
As strongly as I believe the word “diet” should be banished from our health lexicon, I feel equally that our bodies should be part of what makes life awesome. And that includes how we feel when we look in the mirror, and how others see us.
