Wise words from Julie Murphy. ( @andimjulie ) Be. In. Pictures. this holiday season. No matter your size, your shape, how bad of a hair day you are having, whatever your reason. Be in the pictures. You have permission to celebrate and exist in exactly the body you have right now, in exactly the point of life you are at right now. You don’t have to lose weight, have a significant other, have a child, any of it. You get to be exactly as you are and where you are. Happy Holidays. #haes #healthateverysize #haesig #bodypositive #bopo #bodyaffirmative #fatpositive #fatpositivity #fatliberation #fatlib #haesnyc #haesny #holidayseason #holidayspirit #holidays #holiday #holidaylove https://www.instagram.com/p/B6eILQYApbo/?igshid=8e8980xjt9b2

So, tell me again about how your body size, weight, health status etc determines your worth or your lovability? That’s right, it doesn’t. Regardless of what our culture dictates. When we look within ourselves, and consider our relationships to others’ bodies, hopefully, we can see that it isn’t the be all end all it’s made out to be. Our self perception is not the only thing that needs to change, however. If anything, this is exceptionally difficult to shift within our culture. Our cultural messaging that repeatedly re-emphasizes the idea that certain bodies - thin, cis, white, able - are “better” or “ideal” - this is what really needs to shift. #wsaw2019 was so uplifting, precisely because there was more united visibility of folks trying to disrupt that and fight back. That’s only the beginning. Every week should be weight stigma aware!

#truth Posted @withrepost • @themindfuldietitian Thankyou Kimmie Singh @tastingabundance for this truth bomb from the recent #WINDSymposium in DC.... Our value and worth does not lie in our productivity, including the "work" we invest in our "health" or body shape, weight or size. This whole notion is rooted in oppressive structures which demand us to be "working" to prove our value to the world. And it's bullshit. People don't look at a newborn baby and say "oh well, it's done nothing, so it's not worthy..." People look at a newborn and think about what a miracle they are. So what changes? As we get older, we learn - thanks family and culture - that doing more is valued. Including the "doing" to our bodies which are so so incredibly harmful. Resting, doing nothing at all does not change our value as humans. If, or when, our bodies are literally unable to do what we think they should be doing - if we have an injury, a diagnosis, a disability - that this does not mean anything about our worth. Doing is not being. Being is all we have to do to be enough. Share this with anyone who needs to hear it today - including ourselves. #HAESIG #shamefreezone #benotdo #mindfuldietitian https://www.instagram.com/p/B3DbG8dATMw/?igshid=jwoegcpk5cq4
