Diet companies will be hitting hard this year. Be prepared to hear repeated sentiments of “It’s time to get rid of that Quarantine 15” and “In these hard times, commit to taking care of yourself with healthy living and weight loss.”

This rhetoric is going to be everywhere. And due to the nature of modern advertising, the vast majority of it will be coming from people online who just look like they’re trying to share some good advice with the followers that they love so much. You’ll barely be able to see the money getting thrown at them from the weight loss industry.

Don’t reward them for using these manipulation techniques - Buying their products and losing weight isn’t going to make your year any better, or erase the stress of the pandemic, or be the first step in self-care.


Please please please see these ads for what they are - A way of preying on your insecurity and trauma in order to make money.

Concept: running deep into the forest at dusk with your girlfriend, hand in hand, breaking free from reality even if only for a few hours. You cross stream after stream filled with endless laughter and love, before eventually falling asleep at the bottom of a large oak tree, her arm around you as your head lies in the crook of her neck, only the sound of crickets accompanying you. You wake to the chirping of birds before making your way back out the forest as the sun rises, hand in hand yet again.

half of you wants to live in a castle and read dusty classics for the rest of your life whilst walking about in robes

the other half wants to live in a cottage in the middle of the woods, collecting flowers from meadows

you’re a lesbian
