The Tight Relationship Between Fit And Frugal
One makes us feel deserving of the other
These issues with self-worth feed on each other. We can feel, “Well, I’m overweight, so I deserve to be broke. It’s not like I want to take myself, looking like this, anywhere special.” Or “Well I’m broke so I deserve to be fat. I haven’t worked hard enough to be hot.” It all ties into not believing that you deserve good things and so you don’t do good things for yourself, like budget or exercise.
