Summer is almost here! That means longer days, whipping out your favorite sandals — and probably the pressure to drop pounds. Having a deadline suggests we need to change our figure in a short time period which can lead a lot of women to start fad diets and quick fixes. This time of year is when I see the highest use of detoxes, cleanses, and extreme restrictive meal plans in an effort to lose weight quickly. Not only is rapid weight loss physiologically damaging and typically ends in setting the weight higher than the bodies healthy set-point, it also is emotionally stressful.

What should be the focus? Eating well balanced meals that keep you fueled throughout the day, getting plenty of physical activity and exercise in your week, and making sure you get enough sleep each night. These are all important aspects of maintaining health that have nothing to do with a scale. When you think of what determines weight, most people think of diet and exercise. People sometimes assume that everyone has complete control of their weight, but this is often not the case. Society puts immense pressure on individuals to be lean and strong or skinny and toned. Media that includes these images and beliefs help perpetuate the stereotype that weight is one of the most important factors for health.

My vacation was about complete and total relaxation. Since I spent the majority of my vacation in a bathing suit, I made sure I had cute and comfy options with me. Old Navy and Lane Bryant more than fit that bill. Not once did I feel shy about my fat body.
