instagram is my one true love. connect with me there....

For this #bopofriday I’m featuring Joy Cox of the obesity article I linked to yesterday....if you haven’t read it yet, the link is in my bio. Besides the great research, my favourite thing about the article were the stories from actual humans in fat bodies - I think it’s the most powerful way to begin changing this unhealthy, unhelpful rhetoric - to remember the HUMANS living in stigmatized bodies. Well worth 30 minutes of you weekend! 😊 ✨ From The article, about Joy: “When Joy Cox, an academic in New Jersey, was 16, she went to the hospital with stomach pains. The doctor didn’t diagnose her dangerously inflamed bile duct, but he did, out of nowhere, suggest that she’d get better if she stopped eating so much fried chicken. “He managed to denigrate my fatness and my blackness in the same sentence,” she says.” ✨ “There is so much agency taken from marginalized groups to mute their voices and mask their existence. Being depicted as a female CEO—one who is also black and fat—means so much to me. It is a representation of the reclamation of power in the boardroom, classroom and living room of my body. I own all of this.”— JOY COX
Acceptance, specifically self-acceptance in this sphere, is often equated with giving up. As though the choice to accept who we authentically are - in the bodies we are in - is easy and somehow lazy. But the truth is that ACCEPTANCE is a highly active, ongoing, dynamic procces. ✨ More from Shefali: "Acceptance is often considered a passive matter. This is a gross misunderstanding. Acceptance can't just be an INTELLECTUAL decision, but must involve our entire heart and mind." ✨ Gah! Not so easy, huh? I think the only thing I find harder than acceptance is PATIENCE!! 😆😬😊
Taking a break to pour over this article...again and again and again. There is SO MUCH GOLD here - from weight bias, to bullying, to the exponential effects of layered discrimination. YES! YES! YES!!!! I feel like it perfectly sums up what I do and WHY I DO IT.....please read! Please. (Link in bio) ✨ Note: there are some food politics at the end of the article that may be triggering for some. ✨ Here are a few snippets: ✨ “Chances of a woman classified as obese achieving a ‘normal’ weight: 0.008% ✨ "For 60 years, doctors and researchers have known two things that could have improved, or even saved, millions of lives. The first is that diets do not work. Not just paleo or Atkins or Weight Watchers or Goop, but all diets." ✨ "The second big lesson the medical establishment has learned and rejected over and over again is that weight and health are not perfect synonyms. ✨ The terrible irony is that for 60 years, we’ve approached the obesity epidemic like a fad dieter: If we just try the exact same thing one more time, we'll get a different result." ✨ THANK YOU @huffpost and Michael Hobbes!!!
