@mattmcgorry : Think about it. Deeply. Especially if you’re not someone that’s been told to lose weight “for your health”. Think about how you’d feel looking at a thin woman that is a model eating french fries in public vs a fat woman doing the same thing. What judgements might you feel and blame would you assign and how would it be different? Most of what we think we know about “obesity” and it’s relation to health is plain wrong and deeply rooted in anti-fat bias (after all, there are billions of dollars to be made from it). And yet we excuse our prejudice as “concern” for someone’s health. But there are much greater health concerns being a fat person living in a fatphobic culture than can be “helped” by additional fatphobia. Additional shame, blame and systemic marginalization are not the answer. # The pages after the first slide are from “Health At Every Size” by Dr. Linda Bacon and may just blow your damn mind. I know they did for me despite a decade of being a personal trainer. #HAES
