Stop Threatening Weight Gain
Let me start by acknowledging the privilege I hold in the weight-inclusive space. I am a thin person, and up to this current date I have always been a thin person. While I have had my own struggles with a disordered relationship with my body and food, I have never at any point had a provider make a comment about my weight, a store not have my size or go to a location that could not accommodate my body. I cannot truly speak to the experience of all bodies, especially the most marginalized, because I have never lived those experiences and there’s a possibility that I never will. It is my hope, as a weight-inclusive and non-diet provider, to make space for individuals to process the harms of diet culture and fatphobia and move towards a lifestyle that nourishes them physically, mentally and emotionally.
