So what can you do? “How do you accept your fat body in the society we live in?” Well, in all honesty, even though this might not sound like an answer, the answer I have for you is this;
“You have no choice. You have to accept your body. Your body is the body that you’ve been given. And YOU only have this life in this body. And in this lifetime your body is not going to change its genetics. You can restrict and restrict and restrict which you most likely have been doing (whether or not you were capable of sticking to that restriction or not doesn’t matter, you will still be restricting mentally and emotionally regardless) but that will not get you anywhere good. It doesn’t work and it doesn’t change your genetics.”
Your only option is to stop restricting yourself and work on your body image. You’ve most likely come to the conclusion that restriction actually causes your body to want to store more fat anyway. Most people’s bodies are predisposed to hold onto as much fat as possible when in an energy deficit … because that’s sensible! Your body doesn’t all of a sudden turn stupid because you want a smaller body… it won’t go – “Oh there’s not enough food in the environment, therefore I won’t store fat” Your body is too smart for that.
