So much THIS !

[Sam Dylan Finch @samdylanfinch]

Thinness isn't health. Dieting isn't health. Weight loss isn't health.

"Health" is whatever set of circumstances allow you to live as fully and joyfully as is possible for you.

Deprivation, restriction, and self-punishment aren't what health is about.

Let that shit GO.

[Sam Dylan Finch @samdylanfinch]

Repeat after me:

You do NOT have to lose weight.
You do NOT have to lose weight.

And if you've gained weight recently?

You STILL do not have to lose weight.

"Weight and COVID-19: What Does the Research Actually Tell Us?" It's murky. Glad I could help @sarah_jacoby tease out the complexities. Bottom line: stop the fear-mongering, stop using the virus as another excuse for fatphobia | @SELFmagazine https://t.co/7MbSKCfx5W

@DrChrisNorthrup Tell that to my RN and MD friends working on the front lines.
It looks like the countries who used masks from the onset contained this better than we have.

C'mon folks. We've got small groups of political opportunists gathering for cameras arguing the scientific equivalent that the Earth is flat. It's a reckless insult to all those risking lives, an affront to the truth. Meanwhile, the vast majority of Americans act responsibly.

Dieting is the most common precipitating factor in the development of an eating disorder. Please sign the petition to STOP @tiktok_us from allowing children under the ages of 19 to view or post under any hashtag relating to weight loss or dieting.

@ELVISisBLACK @DanRather Trump has had plenty of time to replenish but opted not to. He was too busy scaling back the people who could have handled this and guided him... you know, if he actually accepted guidance.

I am an emergency physician. My increased exposure means that I have chosen to isolate from my family, to keep them safe. This is how I see my daughters (pictured with their cousins, with whom they’re staying).
If I can do this, you can stay home.
