There are no numbers, behaviors, or weights.)<\/em><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>In early 2017, Men\u2019s Health reached out to me to feature me in a story about obstacle racing. As part of that, there would be a photo shoot. I internally cringed a bit. I\u2019d had a tenuous relationship with photo shoots for years, but a different kind of guilt was emerging this time. I knew that I was in a rough patch with my eating disorder, and I was aware that I was not comfortable in my body at the moment. Namely, I thought I was&nbsp;<strong>too<\/strong> lean. While the story wasn\u2019t about my body (it was about tackling your first OCR), I felt a sense of guilt that my image would be attached with the story \u2013 that I could be projecting an unhealthy ideal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I almost backed out of the shoot, but I tried to remind myself that the responsibility was on the magazine, not me, to vet its images. But is it? Where does the responsibility lie?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve struggled with the thought that I\u2019ve somehow been complicit in promoting an unhealthy body image by being on magazine covers and in photo shoots without disclosing my history with an eating disorder. I\u2019ve been aware of feeling guilty for taking part in photo shoots where I\u2019m decently exposed, knowing that how many body looks may cause others to compare. I\u2019ve wondered if I\u2019m part of the problem by projecting an aesthetic to women that could be unattainable in a healthy manner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, it\u2019s weighed on me. I\u2019ve felt an overwhelming sense of guilt that I could be perpetuating the issues with diet and wellness culture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since opening up about my eating disorder struggles, I\u2019ve had people reach out to me and tell me that they used to look at my body as the ideal, that they would use me as #fitspo. And I\u2019m saddened at this: knowing that yes, my body may have been the cultural \u201cideal\u201d by some, but that at a certain point, it stopped functioning how I wanted it to \u2013 in a strong and capable manner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve never wanted to be a body ideal. To be honest, my body has never been a source of pride for me, or something that I&#8217;ve &#8220;owned.&#8221;  In fact, I\u2019ve made a point intentionally, over the years, of NOT speaking about \u201chow to have a body like me\u201d or engage in stupid fitspo shit like \u201cWORK HARD AND YOU TOO CAN HAVE THIS BODY.\u201d I\u2019ve intentionally deflected questions about workout routines, about diet, about my aesthetic. I\u2019ve joked that NO ONE should take diet advice from me, and I (clearly) still stand by that. Because of my internal conflict, I\u2019ve tried to never encourage focus on my body or my diet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But yes, I am in a lot of pictures in very little clothing. That\u2019s not because I\u2019m trying to show off my body or make people jealous \u2013 frankly, it\u2019s practical. For obstacle racing, the fewer clothes you wear, the less the mud and water sticks to you. In full honesty, I\u2019ve always been SUPER uncomfortable in just a sports bra (but yes, I DO hate pants with a vengeance). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The clothes I wear have little, if anything, to do with body image and aesthetic. If I look back over the history of my eating disorder, it didn\u2019t start out of body image concerns. Weight loss was never a goal for me. It may be difficult for some folks to believe, but body image and weight actually may have very little to do with eating disorders for some folks. I\u2019ve been super uncomfortable with my body at times, but it hasn\u2019t been about the weight or shape. (that\u2019s a deeper-rooted discomfort that exists regardless of the size\u2026and a separate topic entirely!) Body image and weight actually wasn\u2019t at the forefront of my struggles for a long time, though I will admit that being in the media spotlight did start to bring it into the fold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The funny thing is that the most proud I&#8217;ve ever felt about my body has been in the times when I have felt strong and functional and racing well, regardless of what it looked like. When I can thank it for running non-stop for 24 hours or when it carries heavy-ass shit up a mountain. That&#8217;s when I&#8217;m proud of my body. Not when I&#8217;m pictured on a magazine or have a random stranger compliment my arms. And the times when I feel like I have looked very unwell and too thin, I have been ashamed of my body because it&#8217;s NOT functional and cannot do the things I love to do without breaking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(In theory, you would think that knowing this and feeling this way would be easy enough motivation to break out of the disorder. It helps, sure, but if only mental illness were that simple. But I&#8217;m making this point because there&#8217;s a lot of misconceptions about the causes of and motivations for eating disorders and how they manifest.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s all an aside, though. Regardless of how I\u2019ve felt about my body or how much or little that has factored into my eating disorder, the public has seen an image projected of me over the years in magazine, photo shoots, and race photos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So while eating disorders are not about bodies, I\u2019m going to address this because it\u2019s a common misconception.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take this picture of me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ameliabooneracing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_4446-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-858\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.ameliabooneracing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_4446-819x1024.jpg 819w, http:\/\/www.ameliabooneracing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_4446-240x300.jpg 240w, http:\/\/www.ameliabooneracing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_4446-768x960.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption>Doing my best Baywatch impersonation. Nah, this was just after swimming through a pond mid-race in 2018<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you didn\u2019t know about my eating disorder, many folks would say this is the product of discipline and being an athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But knowing about my eating disorder, many folks would say this is the product of starvation and disordered eating habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s the correct answer?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, I don&#8217;t know. A woman in the sauna the today turned to me and said &#8220;I&#8217;m trying to lose weight and you have an amazing body: what&#8217;s your secret?&#8221; I blinked for a few seconds, and answered &#8220;I have an eating disorder.&#8221; (Note to self: if you ever want to kill a conversation instantaneously, this works quite well). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> While I understand there is controversy around the \u201cset point\u201d theory, the correct answer about my body may actually be \u201cgenetics.\u201d As I continue to feed and nourish my body fully, I\u2019m still trying to figure that out. There are folks who have completely healthy relationships with food and are in smaller bodies (those folks tend to generate a lot of envy and hate from people: \u201cwhy can they eat anything they waaaaaaaant?\u201d). There are also folks with completely healthy relationships with food who are in larger bodies. In times when I\u2019ve been in a solid place in recovery, I\u2019ve still been in a smaller body. That\u2019s not to say that\u2019s where I\u2019m going to end up now. I just have to trust that my body knows where it needs to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how does this relate to the media? Because I know how detrimental diet culture and body ideals are to our society, where is my responsibility? For example, should I have said to Runner\u2019s World \u201csure, I can be on the cover, but just to let you know, I have an eating disorder and my body could be a product of it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"767\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ameliabooneracing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/fullsizeoutput_4b7-767x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-859\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.ameliabooneracing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/fullsizeoutput_4b7-767x1024.jpeg 767w, http:\/\/www.ameliabooneracing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/fullsizeoutput_4b7-225x300.jpeg 225w, http:\/\/www.ameliabooneracing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/fullsizeoutput_4b7-768x1025.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/www.ameliabooneracing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/fullsizeoutput_4b7.jpeg 1461w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 767px\" \/><figcaption>My Runner&#8217;s World cover in 2015. Can I be proud of this? Or should I be ashamed? <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s something I\u2019ve wrestled with internally a lot. While I was at Opal, I was asked to be part of a photo shoot for one of my sponsors. I spent MANY process groups crying over it. Am I causing harm by being photographed in my body, I asked? I felt the guilt. It\u2019s gnawed at me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My initial response in life is always to take the blame \u2013 100%, it\u2019s my fault.&nbsp;&nbsp;It was actually my treatment team that suggested to me that&nbsp;<strong>maybe<\/strong> I don\u2019t have to shoulder 100% of the responsibility here. That the media has a responsibility. That consumers have individual responsibility. And that feeling guilt and shame over my body or how it&#8217;s portrayed does nothing to solve the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what DOES solve the problem?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m aware that this is a tricky topic to talk about, especially since I\u2019m in a smaller body. So step one is for me to acknowledge and accept that I have <a href=\"https:\/\/christyharrison.com\/blog\/what-is-thin-privilege\">thin privilege<\/a>. I\u2019m aware that this post may come across as \u201cwoe is me poor girl in a smaller body.\u201d I hate the idea of \u201cskinny shaming\u201d and that\u2019s not what this is about. I\u2019m also aware thin privilege is a very controversial topic (believe me, we talked about it my first group at Opal and I\u2019ve never been so uncomfortable in my life). But I\u2019ve reached a point where I know thin privilege, fat phobia and weight stigma are real, and they are harming us all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the number one reason why I\u2019ve made a personal vow to NEVER comment on a person\u2019s body \u2013 I don\u2019t care if it may be considered a compliment. You&nbsp;<strong>NEVER&nbsp;<\/strong>know the reasons behind why a person\u2019s body looks the way it does. Frankly, the sooner we stop assigning value judgments to bodies, the sooner we can move towards a society where this discussion doesn\u2019t even need to be had anymore.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In all of this, I\u2019m accepting my responsibility, but I\u2019m also accepting that I don\u2019t shoulder 100% of that. Here\u2019s how I view the breakdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(1) Myself: <\/strong>I have a responsibility to speak up for myself in photo shoot scenarios \u2013 what I am and am not comfortable with. I have a responsibility to come into the shoot how I look like on a daily basis &#8211; well-fed, well-hydrated, etc. And I have a responsibility, as a person with thin privilege, to use that privilege to advocate for body neutrality and body acceptance of ALL bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(2) The Media: <\/strong>the media has a responsibility to portray bodies of ALL sizes, shapes and colors, and to not edit or change bodies in order to fit an aesthetic that our culture has deemed \u201cideal.\u201d It has a responsibility to not perpetuate diet and wellness culture, and to challenge that with bringing in contrarian viewpoints and idea such as Health at Every Size and the social justice issues around weight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(3) Consumers:<\/strong> as consumers of media, we have a responsibility to be aware that what is projected in the media isn\u2019t necessarily the truth, and to consume with a critical eye. We have a responsibility to consume media of differing viewpoints, to expose ourselves to, with the hopes of embracing, bodies of all sizes, to educate ourselves and learn about concepts such as thin privilege and Health at Every Size. You don\u2019t have to end up agreeing, but education is key. And finally, if you find yourself being activated in a negative way by an image or media or a person\u2019s body, we have a responsibility to ask yourself <strong>WHY<\/strong>. <em>Why does that image trigger you? <\/em>What, internally, is it getting at? And if it\u2019s not healthy for you to consume that media, then don\u2019t.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I sound a bit defensive in all of this, I\u2019m aware that maybe there\u2019s a part of me that is. Or maybe I\u2019m just trying to figure out how to navigate the world going forward. How am I supposed to embrace and love my body, but also not negatively impact others? Should I hide it and cover it up until society deems it an \u201cacceptable\u201d recovered body?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t have the answers. But I wanted to say that I\u2019m not deaf to the discussion. And instead of ignoring the conversation, I\u2019m at a point where I want to engage in it, to learn from it, and to advocate for change. Not just with how I treat and view my own body, but how society does for ALL bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because all bodies are good bodies. And if anything is ever going to change in our fucked up culture that promotes disordered relationships with food, our bodies, and ourselves, then we need EVERYONE to take responsibility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Content warning: This post contains my thoughts and feelings around my body and pictures of me.
