Today, for various reasons, social media is a hard place to be. My newsfeed is also full of dieting ads, supplement pushes, and diet/supplement “reset” plans. Ya, they’re expensive and the budget-conscious part of my brain cringes. But it’s more than that.
After many months of self-isolation, many of us (myself included) are feeling a tad more soft and squishy than a year ago. The trouble is, what we’ve been “trained” to do whenever the scale goes up by the dieting culture only makes matters worse, not better.
