Stop Calling Bodies “Too” Anything: Fat, Skinny, Old… Just Stop

I am done with it.
Everywhere you look, someone is deciding what is “too” much or “not enough” for somebody else’s body. Too fat. Too skinny. Too tall. Too short. Too old. Too young. Too curvy. Too flat. It never stops.

And here is the kicker: it is not even about the body most of the time. It is about control. Labels are how society keeps everyone chasing an impossible standard. Because as long as you are busy fixing yourself to fit someone else’s preferences, you are distracted, compliant, and never satisfied.

Let me save you some time. There is no finish line. Hit your “goal weight,” and you are “too skinny.” Build muscle, and suddenly you are “too bulky.” Get older, and no matter what shape you are in, you are “too old” to be confident. There is always another “too” waiting.

So stop waiting for the world to approve of you. It is not going to happen. The game is rigged, and the only way to win is to stop playing.

If they want to call you “too much,” own it. Maybe the real problem is that the world is too small to handle you. If they call you “too old,” remind them every wrinkle is a year you survived that they might not. If they call you “too fat” or “too skinny,” stop acting like their opinion has more value than your actual life.

You have two options. Spend your time trimming yourself down to fit into a box someone else built. Or burn the box, take up your space, and make them uncomfortable for once.

What is the “too” label they threw at you? Drop it in the comments. Own it. Say it louder. Because the moment you stop letting their labels define you, the whole game falls apart.
