Perhaps nowhere is this conflict more visible than in the phenomenon of "wellness as weight loss." Many wellness influencers begin their content with a narrative of "transformation"—a before-and-after arc where the "before" body is coded as lazy or toxic and the "after" body is coded as pure, hard-won, and healthy. This narrative is antithetical to body positivity. A true body-positive approach would advocate for movement for joy (dancing, walking, stretching) rather than for calorie burn, and eating for nourishment and satisfaction rather than for suppression. The wellness industry, however, is financially incentivized to keep consumers in a state of perpetual self-improvement, perpetually chasing a thinner, more toned, more "disciplined" version of themselves. Consequently, what masquerades as "self-care" often becomes "self-surveillance," a dressed-up version of the same old diet culture that body positivity seeks to dismantle.
