is about education, awareness and breaking cycles of intergenerational messaging and trauma that perpetuate contributing factors to eating disorders. The field still needs further research like many topics related to public health, safety and health issues that impact marginalized populations, (which even with the scant research does show the higher rates of disordered eating among these communities)—- YET THERE IS EVIDENCE OF THE FOLLOWING:
- Weight discrimination plays a significant role in health indicators. Society, diet culture, outdated medical practices and beliefs contribute to fatphobic biases. Both Internalized weight bias and weight stigma in health care experiences has been show to lead to mistrust of care providers and therefore avoidance of health care (negative health behavior).
BMI is not a valid metric of health, wellness or fitness. Not only has this theory been debunked about how the researcher skewed their data— “fitness and fatness” occur at the same time, and can have as significant health outcomes as “smaller bodies.”
Just like morality of food needs to end, morality around of the size and shape of a body needs to as well.
Moving your body X amount of steps, plugging into an app, following some app for “nutritional” support is another way for someone else to profit off the idea that you don’t know yourself. Your body, your needs, your intuition is the expert. You can unlearn the deeply entrenched beliefs that have been taught and the diet industry has profited off of the last 50+ years!
