Body Positivity, Fat Liberation, Health at Every Size - my thoughts

💖 “All bodies are beautiful!”

 

🎊 “Let’s celebrate and accept larger bodies!”

 

🙅🏼‍♀️ “Intentional weight loss doesn’t work!”

 

😡 “You’re promoting obesity!”

 

🙄 “Just eat more and exercise less…have more discipline”

 

❌ “Stop pretending…no one wants to be fat”

 

👆The conversation around weight, health and body image today is highly polarized.

 

If this has confused you on your own journey to stopping binge eating, getting your period back and finding balance with food and fitness…I want to help you find the middle ground.

 

In this week’s episode I give my opinions on this debate and specifically address:

• The Body Positivity movement

• The difference between body positivity, body acceptance and body neutrality and how you can use these concepts in your own disordered eating recovery

• The Fat Liberation movement

• The Health at Every Size framework

 

You will walk away from this episode having more clarity on what it looks like to prioritize health and fitness without obsessing over your weight…

 

…and how to navigate all the conflicting opinions about weight, body image and health.
