Body Image

Body image issues can be a challenge when we live in a culture that values a particular (and quite narrow) aesthetic, but focus on health and inclusivity can facilitate improvement in one's relationship with the body and food. Health At Every Size® is a philosophy that affirms the value of all body shapes and sizes and aims to reduce weight stigma through education and advocacy.

While weight stigma is a reality in our appearance-obsessed culture, we can avoid contributing to it by refusing to engage in body shaming language regarding ourselves and others. It may also be helpful to avoid particularly stigmatizing forms of media and social media that perpetuate the harmful messages of diet culture.
