What is fitspiration?
PrettyThin is a website about anorexia, about eating disorders, about beauty, and body image. As with all things, fitspiration is a form of inspiration around fitness as a vehicle of maintaining a certain body image. As with thispiration, fitspiration is a collection of images and words toward this goal.
Is fitspiration something new? No. Pick up one of the many fitness magazines and you're getting it. Telling you what diets to be on, how many calories to eat, how to increase protein intake and decrease sugars and fat. You'll see images of bodies you are told are examples of perfection, or examples of what you too can be if you are disciplined to do it.
Body image. Our society is obsessed with it. Anorexics get shunned for dwelling on it. Our society commercializes it.
Fitspiration. Bodies image through fitness.
