Day #6- "Don't Look Back" 28 Days of Self Love

Don't Look Back


There's a story in the Bible about a woman that was never named.  She was only known as "Lot's Wife".  She was the woman that turned into a pillar of salt because she looked back at something God told her not to.

I always wondered "why salt?"  She could have dropped dead or become very ill, but God chose to cause her to become non existent.  There was literally no trace of her because she chose to look back.  At some point looking back can cause you to lose your true identity.  You no longer move forward.

Have you ever spoken to someone that was just released from prison for an extended period of time?  Their conversation may seem strange because they may reference things from years before.  You may notice that their fashions are outdated.  It's because they've missed time interacting with the world.  Time has gone by and others have developed and grown but that person has stayed stuck in a certain period of time.

Not letting go of the past and looking back will cause you to miss out on opportunities for growth and development.

With more than 600,000 followers across platforms, Lascano became part of a digital wave that helped redefine beauty standards. She spoke about confidence, fashion, and taking up space without apology. For many women, the body positivity movement felt like paradise — no pressure to shrink, no demand to conform. But over time, her perspective shifted. Three years ago, Lascano post...

Ozempic Culture is Here, But What Happens to Body Positivity?

When Thin Became Trendy Again: Who Gets Left Behind? By Phatabulous Magazine Staff Ozempic Culture & the Quiet Rollback of Body Positivity For a brief, shimmering moment, it felt like the world was finally catching up. Plus-size women were visible. Fashion brands expanded their sizing. Campaigns spoke the language of “body neutrality,” “health at every size,” and “confidence without apology.” Fat bodies weren’t just tolerated—they were styled, centered, and celebrated. And then, almost overnight, thin became trendy again. Not because the science changed. Not because fat bodies suddenly became unhealthy. But because Ozempic culture arrived. Watch Commentary Video GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound have reshaped beauty standards at record speed. What began as a medical intervention for diabetes and obesity has quietly morphed into a cultural reset—one where shrinking is praised, staying the same is questioned, and opting out feels like rebellion.
