Plus size clothing options have taken a huge nose dive. And people who are sizes 26+ barely have any options at all. It shouldn’t be this hard to make more inclusive size ranges.
Today marks the fourth day of Eating Disorder Awareness Week. Following the National theme "Everyone has a role to play" today we are focusing on Mental Health Providers.
Simple and powerful intervention from @MoreLoveOrg' Asking not to be weighed may do more than help you avoid a triggering moment—it can also help you shift the focus of your appointment away from weight' self.com/story/dont-wei…

When I give talks on eating disorders, people often say that the behaviors I discussed are necessary for maintaining a "healthy" weight. If that weight can only be maintained by engaging in pathological eating behaviors, I encourage you to reflect on your definition of healthy.
Love the powerful body image and mental health stories shared on Like Bodies, Like Minds, a project founded by @AngelaMBarnett from @EBNewZealand instagram.com/likebodieslike…
Health at Every Size is not a fad. It’s lifesaving! Fat people deserve medical equipment that fits. Fat people deserve access to affirming healthcare.

Powerful thread by @TakeBackBeauty about aging in our objectifying culture
Fat bodies are not a problem to be solved or fixed. They are not a shell for thinner bodies waiting to break free. Body diversity has always existed and always will. Imagine what could happen if we worked on ensuring the world was a safer place for people in larger bodies inste

The only reason we fear self-soothing with food is because of diet culture and fatphobia.
A women’s handball team is boycotting mandated bikini bottoms for being sexist & inhibiting while the men’s teams are fully clothed. This type of uniform double standard is everywhere. It reflects & reinforces a view of women’s bodies as ornamental while men’s are instrumental.
Every time we let someone get away with #bodyshaming, we're complicit in normalising it in our culture. So don't let others body shame you, or other people. Call them out on it. #bodyimage #bodykindness #bodydiversity #bekind

Please just argue for the value of fat people. Please just argue that we deserve to live lives free of material and rhetorical attacks on our bodies and personhood. Please just condemn BMI, “obesity science”, weight loss companies, etc. FOR HARMING US. Please.
It says “come up with a good reason to do this instead of your current bad reason” instead of “STOP”. It says very little about the injustice of fat people’s suffering. It says very little about our systemic devaluation. It’s the wrong focus.
It’s bad to leave the door open for an elimination campaign. That’s what challenging the veracity of “obesity science” does - it invites more research into “better” or “truer” reasons to get rid of fat people.
Trying to get rid of a whole group of people is condemnable because it’s TRYING TO GET RID OF A WHOLE GROUP OF PEOPLE. Challenging the justification for those efforts is working on the wrong point in the chain. It doesn’t contest the elimination efforts, it contests their basis
Hi, I am profoundly uncomfortable with claims about my mistreatment and the mistreatment of people who look like me being grounded in assertions about the truth or falsity of “obesity science”
In a context in which cosmetic procedures are increasingly normalised and the industry is expanding, what is the best course of action to protect consumer and public health? I spoke to 14 industry execs and consultant surgeons for their POV. doi.org/10.1016/j.body… #OpenAccess
Plus size clothing options have taken a huge nose dive. And people who are sizes 26+ barely have any options at all. It shouldn’t be this hard to make more inclusive size ranges.
I got invited to speak about ending weight bias in healthcare. The slot was 15 minutes long. The invite email said "if you can't cover your topic in 15 minutes you don't know it well enough." This is a common idea, it comes from privilege and perpetuates oppression.... a thread
Today marks the fourth day of Eating Disorder Awareness Week. Following the National theme "Everyone has a role to play" today we are focusing on Mental Health Providers.
The next time you feel an overwhelming urge to diet or 'fix' something about your appearance, stop for a moment. Take a deep breath... ask yourself, "What's really going on for me right now?" The desire to 'fix' is often masking the need for acceptance, love, respect.
Journal article: "Anti-obesity messaging may put vulnerable individuals at risk for EDs... [We] suggest the promotion of weight-neutral health-enhancing self-care practices in media & public health campaigns, legislative policies, & health care overall." bit.ly/3Efi3ta
Fat stigma combines with personal responsiblity arguments, making fat people easy targets. Result: yet more misinformation, yet more blame. @v_solesmith names the problem: fatphobia underlies research and reporting, fuels fearmongering abt high wt. bit.ly/3mnkd3O
I was given the ok to make this sign for work to put above the scales🤗
If you are spearheading a weight loss or “wellness challenge” at work, consider how unsafe and toxic it is for those in larger bodies and/or eating disorders. Plus, it’s elitist and privileged AF.
@DeborahKirkham @TKMaxx_UK Which store is this please? @TKMaxx_UK have assured us that signs like this are a mistake and will be changed.
Stop using the word “fat” to replace a feeling. Yes, even if you have an eating disorder. Because in doing so, you are associating fatness with disgust, hatred, and shame which is harmful to your fat friends. You can describe your feelings without perpetuating fatphobia.
I want fat people to get the same care for eating disorders that thin people get. I want them to be believed, taken just as seriously, and properly diagnosed. If weight gain is part of their healing, I want that to be celebrated just like it is for thin people.
There is NO wrong way to have a body! We come in different shapes and sizes, which is natural and normal. There is no way that we can all be the same - even if we ate exactly the same food and moved in the same ways! Remember - your body is NOT wrong! #allbodiesaregoodbodies
