Words mean things and weight loss is not the health marker you think it is. From @iamstefaniemic1 ‘s instagram.

Everyone deserves to stop obsessing about whether they are skinny enough.

[mooncake @wittnsass]

ESPECIALLY a ban on diet talk, with classes on a HAES approach to movement and anti-diet nutritionists and coaches there to help people heal their relationship with food. Just access to that learning/unlearning would be so invaluable.

[mooncake @wittnsass]

I just wanna know those options exist for all people to focus on movement, and the real major benefits to exercise and NOT weight loss. Ive been dreaming of a fitness space where weightloss talk is banned.

[mooncake @wittnsass]

I know this because the fatter I’ve gotten the worse those attitudes have been.

[mooncake @wittnsass]

I have to fucking politic to just get a basic ass thing like exercise underway. Skinny folks walk in there and when they say “just wanna tone/keep fit” they are respected and helped. Your fat ass will be given sermons about why you should rather focus on weight loss.

[mooncake @wittnsass]

I’ve had to recognize that I have so much unlearning to do because I would avoid exercise to avoid guilt that comes with “goals” mentality which is related to getting “fit/skinny”. I had to realise that I have to claim the space I want to see and work out

[mooncake @wittnsass]

Exercise helps with sleep, energy, depression, anxiety, chronic pain from tension due to long hours sitting for work, literally most of my problems can be mitigated well through it. But there is no support for those of us who just wanna do it and love it with no strings attached

[mooncake @wittnsass]

I have got to do a fitness related episode because that space is a minefield of triggers. And it sucks because I love it so much and have felt so ostracized from those spaces if I don’t come there ready to be “help me im fat, make me skinny”.

[mooncake @wittnsass]

Don’t get it twisted even your bulk bro’s and body builders are doing it to avoid fatness. Its all they fucking talk about. Its so bad that I have to give a potential trainer a whole lecture about NOT motivating me during the session with weight loss because it’s irrelevant.

[mooncake @wittnsass]

Fatphobia hurts everyone in very implicit and explicit ways but yall think its only a fat people issue. Lol.

[mooncake @wittnsass]

Exercise is amazing and does help. The problem is fatphobia and all to most fitness spaces/accounts and people almost exclusively on it being about weight loss and being this punitive thing we should do to fit a beauty standard and not all other major benefits.

THIS

[David Anaan Drake - On Hiatus @worldofhawk]

@allyrand1 @_DylanHamilton_ @Ryan_Ken_Acts I believe there was a statistical analysis done... perhaps a Dutch one? It was that part of the world, anyway. And they conclusively showed that the biggest threat to the life of a fat patient is medical negligence.
