I think if everyone in the world ate a balanced diet and moved their bodies, there would still be a wide range of body shapes and sizes!
I was shocked and disappointed to hear that young lady justify shame as healthy and sustainable. I'm so glad you addressed that, Abbey. I really appreciate your work and this video!
I’ve always been skinny. I could eat McDonald’s every day and gain a marginal amount of weight, but still fall within my normal range. To say that the choices I make in the face of my personal obstacles will have the same outcome as someone in a different body is so reductive and absolutist. Bodies come in all shapes and sizes!
Love the phrasing, "You can't hate yourself into being healthier." You can hate yourself into being skinner, but until you appreciate your body simply for being your body, you won't feel comfortable in it or healthy. Grace for yourself is how you make positive changes
Hi Abby. I’m a family nurse practitioner in primary care in a federally qualified health center. This means I provide health care to people in very predominantly. I have always appreciated your no guilt, additive approach to nutrition. To your point about choice related to weight I have patients who have to walk or take the bus to the clinic to see me. They do not have the privilege to drive as they don’t have a car to get groceries further away from their homes. Obesity is related to poverty so our continued placement of the responsibility for it on the individual allows the American government to continue ignoring public services that would create a healthier population.
OK I'm sorry but the single mom working three minimum wage jobs still isn't doing her grocery shopping at the convenience store down the street that only has chips candy. The food desert situation is such a weird excuse. I have lived in a food desert my entire life and you still grocery shop at the grocery store. I don't know anyone that's living off of gas station food especially if they're close to the poverty line, you can't afford to live off of gas station.
As with everything in life, it's complicated
Not every choice is available to every person.
I kinda get the vibe that Lauren puts most of her self-worth on staying slender
All that I know is that when I’ve been under a certain weight, it has taken all my energy and will to keep it there. It’s been that way my whole life. I have always been athletic and I ride my bike as transportation, but I’m still a large woman. However, at 54, having given up on trying to have a diet, I’m having a great life instead. ❤
One thing I rarely hear addressed is poverty. Majority of kids live below the poverty line - has anyone looked at food boxes and choices in schools? Very little fresh foods, produce or meats. Highly processed with the bulk of calories coming from simple carbs. Taste is a matter of habit. There is a societal component to the epidemic of obesity and diabetes that should be addressed.
As someone who's been "overweight"/fat/plus size my whole life, I knew I would not be able to emotionally handle the original 40-min video Jubilee posted. Because the topic is so charged, biased, and saturated with misinformation, I knew there would be harmful beliefs expressed that would just ruin my day lol. Thank you for allowing for me to engage with this topic in an empathetic and EMPIRICALLY-BASED way!
And then menopause happens and everything changes! It feels like I’m re-learning how my body responds to food, exercise, etc.
I’m so tired of (mostly skinny) people centering people’s whole identity around weight. There are many other characteristics that should be nurtured, encouraged or promoted that might be even more important than body weight.
The thing that got me about that one girls comments about choices is that there are people who do everything she talked about-see doctors, eat whole foods, avoid junk food, move around all the time-but are still "overweight" and probably always will be. The only way they can achieve skinniness is through unhealthy behaviors like starvation, over exercising, and risky medical interventions. And even then there is no guarantee those changes will stick, be sustainable, or support a healthy lifestyle.
THIS is advocacy. Thank you for using your privilege to bring awareness and compassion to people who’ve been silenced, stigmatized and shamed in this conversation. Thank you for educating others on food deserts/accessibility of food, sensitivity around body talk, genetic predisposition, etc. Been through eating disorder treatment 3x… and know many more who’ve lost their lives to disordered eating than to being overweight.
the poverty aspect can't really be overstated. even outside of a full-blown "food desert", it can be absolutely crushing. I spent about a decade quite poor, mostly doing crappy retail work. I had good food available near me in stores. sometimes that's what I purchased. but having a miserable and exhausting job and never enough in my bank account made it
I was fat shamed through out my teen years and it lead to an eating disorder. But I never got really skinny. I have always been over weight. I am currently on, well, not really a diet, more of a change of habit. I am also taking weight loss medication, that I also need for other reasons, and that is helping. I am doing this for my health and not because anyone is shaming me into doing it. I don't expect to become skinny, but a moderate amount of weight loss is the goal. I am down 27lbs and am very happy about it. So, yay me!
"Just drive 40 minutes to get groceries" bold to assume everyone has a car and a licence
