One I've dealt with in regards to body image is "women shouldn't lift weights" or "women who lift look like men". Even well meaning friends have this odd concern that "you'll get too big" because not as concerned with number on a scale and more concerned with what my body can do.

Can see my signature and one of my heroes US Olympic weight lifter Mattie Rogers.
