It's about a mindset NOT a label.
Six months later, the gym changed the class name from Next Stop Skinny to Next Stop Strong. Just like that, the next time I stepped into the class, my mindset changed. Skinny was no longer important. What mattered more was the strength I was building. I started to notice and even admire my biceps in the mirror and had even built up a little bit of a booty from all the squats and lunges I had done.
As a writer, I know that words are important and choosing which words to use is truly a craft. But, it wasn't until this one small word change that I really understood how deeply a mindset can hinge on a word or phrase, especially when it comes to body image. Since the class name change, my relationship with the gym has become consistent and no longer has anything to do with my weight. Instead, working out has become a way to jump-start my morning or clear my mind after the day. It's become a way to be proud of what my body can accomplish instead of worrying that it's not enough.
