Letโs liberate some old beliefs that definitely NEVER served anyone! What are some things you thought you couldnโt be/do because of body size? Iโll go first: take my spouse to Disneylandโฆ.๐
Turns out, not only did we go but really there were only two rides that would have been impossible for either actual weight reasons or potentially spinal injury. So the whole of Disney was pretty accessible for us both and we had one of the best family vacations ever!โค๏ธ Iโm SO glad we went even though it was scary!
๐ August is Fat Liberation Month ๐
Fat people systemically face ridicule, bullying, and discrimination for their physical appearance. Fat people are unfairly perceived as a โmoral failuresโ because of harmful stereotypes and assumptions perpetuated by mainstream media. Fat Liberation Month is an opportunity to educate others about anti-fat bias, junk science (e.g. BMI, diet culture), and minding your damn business.๏ฟผ
