Summer 2021 (I) - The fofisano summer
This summer of 2021 will surely find you with a few less tears and a few extra pounds. The desire to go out and spend the happy-points you've saved all year is compounded by a winter of confinement and carbohydrates.
And no summer photoshoot can withstand that much pressure…
This year, the winter belly has democratized us. And it's time to reclaim it without shame and wear it with pride as a fourth-generation right.
What happens when the heat arrives?
When the heat arrives, two things happen:
-
The boys are worried 🤯
We'll talk about the first thing next week (because 2021 is a year in which we're going to fall in love). a lot), but the second point needs to be addressed now, on the eve of a sweltering summer:
-
We let ourselves go
-
We've let ourselves get fat
-
We have given ourselves (and a lot of) time to excess.
All those afternoons of empty calories, whether it was a few chips here… or saying we'll think about bikini season later… or a gin and tonic there… or saying life is short… Well, those two days have flown by on the calendar and the mirror reflects back the image of a battle-worn body that won't pass the MOT this year and makes us ashamed.
Ashamed of your body? Ashamed of stealing!
How embarrassing!
If anything has united Spain during the last year (besides “the little hand relaxed"It's the leftovers. In the middle of a global pandemic... what were we going to do? Eat endives for dinner every night? No.
We were devouring our desire to go out and whatever we fancied.
We ate to forget, because stuffing ourselves with croquettes and wine is a great way to do that. defense mechanism natural stress reliever.
...And we've had tons of stress this past year.
Did you know that throughout 2020, 40% of Spaniards gained 5.7 kilos on average?5.7 kilos! Spain has the dubious, admirable, significant honor of topping the list of European countries that have gained the most weight in the last year.
And that doesn't mean we should dread summer. It's the perfect excuse to finally accept our bodies as they are, just as we've wanted them these past few months: whole, round, satisfied, and fulfilled.
Those extra pounds that torment you so much now that you can barely fit into your Hawaiian shirt and button up your shorts aren't yours. They belong to Spain, to Europe, to the whole world. They are pure democracy Pandemic because, for once, we all started from the same place. Hug them.
To heaven with her!: the chubby body, body positive or pandemic flab is back
Magazines and the influencers They talk a big game about “body conscious” or “body positive”...So why not really practice it?
Why not raise the flag of our excesses, our extra pounds, and our happiness just as we have wanted to live it during a horrible year? It is the summer in which the reign of the "dad bod" will finally become a reality.
This is nothing new. There was a time when photos of a heavier Leonardo DiCaprio caused a sensation on social media. The actor, in all his privilege, had allowed himself the luxury of letting go and abandoning the gym, sporting a plump waist that seemed to scream I could drown in my own money and I don't give a damn about your opinion from miles away.
It was 2015 and the word chubby It earned a place in popular vocabulary. It came to define those generous people; and whose body evoked that of a retired athlete whom the weight of years and beers had turned into an ordinary human being.
It is that intermediate point between a young and healthy body and the body Today we need to celebrate a mature man who goes to the gym occasionally but doesn't hold back when it comes to drinking beer.
But to truly reclaim it, not as a fleeting trend. True Health and True Beauty reside in what is natural, in what is sincere, in what we share. And what we have shared this year is not countless hours of CrossFit and tyrannical diets where every calorie is counted with a precision scale.
We've shared something else. Some good times, and a few pretty messed up ones...
And we've shared good food, really good food, eating without worrying about what others might say because the important thing was to think about ourselves. So no shame, no hang-ups, no hiding. It's time to embrace that sinful body without reservation or inhibitions. In the summer air, as it should be.
P.DBeing happy with yourself today doesn't mean you can't work towards your next level, without feeling overwhelmed. If you still have a few spinning classes left so you don't have to buy new swimsuits, our Sporture Gel I'm sure It helps you with the unintended consequences of last-minute sports binges. Avoid chafing.
