We don’t know whether the health risks commonly associated with being fat are actually caused by fat, or whether they’re caused by factors that go along with being fat, stuff like yo-yo dieting, poor health care, the stress of being targeted by prejudice, low self-esteem, prolonged exposure to double-knit polyester, and so on.

What do you stand for today? <3
Stop falling for lies and false promises. Give yourself permission to stop dieting and start loving yourself. <3
What judgments do you pass based solely on the shape of another person’s body?
What do you stand for today?
Fat people are not, by definition, lazy or stupid. People who believe in such stereotypes, however, are.

Love your Inner Goddess. She deserves it!
Studies have shown, time and time again, that 95-98% of people who lose weight using ANY diet method will regain all lost weight within three years, usually reaching even higher weights than before they began dieting.
Fitness isn’t about looks or being thin. And you certainly can’t tell how fit a person is by looking at them.
