- Diet culture effected me from a young age, and I always tried the latest fad diets.
- For my wedding day, I finally decided to stop dieting because I wanted to feel my best.
- I looked amazing in my wedding photos.
Diet culture doesn't first come to you when you look in the mirror at 18. It starts much younger.
For me, it began when I was a child, catching glimmers of what I thought bodies should look like. Music videos showed girls with hourglass figures, and it felt like every man's celebrity crush was Beyoncé.
