“Actually, now I wear bigger clothes because I don’t like the way people stare at me,” she told People. “I liked it before. Now, you’re just looking at me for the wrong reasons. Before, you were actually looking at me for a real reason.”
I said the same thing!!! There is something about “looking good” meaning the way that we “want” to look, and feeling attractive, that makes us brace ourselves for the unwanted attention. It makes us self-conscious in a different way. Damned if we do damned if we don’t!
I like the reminder that consistency matters more than chasing an extreme routine for a few weeks. Pairing regular movement with enough sleep and protein can make progress feel much more sustainable, especially on busy days.
