How much energy are you willing to invest in an impossible goal?

95-97% of people regain the weight, with 2/3rds gaining back even more than they lost. We gain the weight back, because we're supposed to gain it back. Any health benefits we seemed to have gained when we lost the weight, evaporate. We're left more hopeless than before and are still told to "try again".

As if there was anything that we could do to succeed at maintaining long-term weight loss. Humans haven't yet found a single way to keep the weight off.

But until we believe that, we'll keep trying and blaming ourselves for our failure 😞

Your body is not the problem. Weight Stigma is. Healthcare injustice is.

✨📒 Introducing a Free Guide for Mental Health Professionals!✨

We're all trained in systems that equate thinness with wellness. We're even taught that those systems help people 😬

Even the most well-intentioned providers can carry those stories into the therapy room.

That’s why I created Becoming a Weight-Inclusive Mental Health Professional — a free reflection workbook to help you recognize anti-fat bias and begin replacing it with compassion and inclusion.

Diet Culture says there's a right way to eat. Sure, we're told some of the right things to eat with an even longer list of the wrong things to eat. But the underlying constant through it all is restriction.

We're told that we should be able to live off of the bare minimum. Restricting as much as possible and only indulging our body in what it absolutely needs. But how do we know what our body needs at any given moment?

Because no matter what Diet Culture says, we don't get to decide what our body needs. The only way to know what our body needs at any given moment is to listen to it.

Diet Culture Myth: We're drawn to bad foods because our body is lazy and sinful. This is what we hear in Christian Diet Culture, but does the Bible actually support that? Check out my blog post about it here:

Diet Culture demonizes our food cravings as sinful, selfish, gluttonous temptations to avoid. "The stronger the craving, the more we need to demonstrate our self-control".

We hear this the most around sugar. But we don't crave sugar because we're weak and broken. We crave sugar because our bodies are seriously amazing 🤩

God designed our bodies to guide us towards the food that we need. Glucose is our body's preferred source of energy. So when we restrict and try to eat low calorie, low carb, low sugar... then that's exactly what we're going to be drawn to 🍪🧁🍰🍫🍨

Our cravings aren't a sign of our body betraying us. They're a sign that our body is taking care of us 🤗

How many of your clients are absolutely convinced that their food problems are their "overeating" and their late night binges? Is their solution always that they just need to try harder? What if the problem wasn't the binge? What if the problem was their restriction?

What Diet Culture calls a failure is your body saving your life. Your weight regain is your body doing everything that it can to refill the dangerously depleted stores of life-saving energy.

We grow up believing that Diet Culture is built on science and fact. But it's not. It's a story. Built on narratives that keep us striving for an impossible goal, wield weight stigma like a carrot and a stick to keep us hustling for our belonging, and isolate us from ourselves and each other by shaping which emotions and conversations are socially acceptable. "Unmasking Diet Culture: Exposing Harmful Narratives" is an online training for Mental Health Professionals. See upcoming dates and register today!

Diet Culture tells your clients that "Good (healthy/thin) people will have good (healthy/thin) bodies, because they make good (healthy) choices”.

Without an effective way to keep the weight off, we just end up weight cycling. Research shows that weight cycling in and of itself, independent of size, is bad for our health". Learn more about the harms of weight cycling from the amazing Ragen Chastain below.

Weight Stigma Awareness Week happens once a year, but this is something that mental health professionals need to continue learning all year long. Weight Stigma has such profoundly harmful impact on our clients.

What can you do to better support your clients who are subjected to the discrimination of weight stigma?
