Loved reading a few chapters from Kate Mann’s book Un-shrinking - How to face Fatphobia.

Sadly, her story is not unique. It’s my own and so many others that I’ve worked with. Fatphobia is such a normalized violence in our culture and it is disgusting.

Growing up, my body was a punch line.

Juniper Jepsen-Rosso was born on Friday 10/20 at 10:49 am. We had a rough start with 5 extremely difficult days in the hospital followed by multiple difficult days at home. Thanks to the overwhelming love and support of our family, friends, community, some amazing providers, and my true hero of a husband Tom Rosso, we are doing better and things are looking up. Juni, you’ve cracked us and our world right open. We love you forever and always. 💜

I've been MIA for awhile and this is why. My spoons have been very low and I needed to pull back so I could take care of myself and this baby to be. I plan to share more about my experience of being fat and pregnant as I feel able to. Sharing a couple pics taken about two months ago as well as some recent pics from our amazing baby moon to Europe.

Both getting (and being) pregnant has been pretty hard. Struggling with infertility, endometriosis, debilitating morning (i.e. all day) sickness, mental health, and medical and systemic fatphobia has not made this an easy process. I am also so lucky and incredibly grateful because I am doing pretty well now. My husband Tom has been nothing short of amazing. I also have to shout out my fat activist friends and colleagues for their support and guidance - especially in the early and difficult days: Maayan Simckes, , Body Liberation with Lindley Ashline & The Body Love Shop, and more. I am beyond grateful to my family and friends who have been with and supported me every step of the way.

Lastly, I am holding space for those who never want kids (I see you!), those who want kids and aren’t able (I feel you 💔), and those who already have children (I’ll be turning to you).

Still catching up on posts over the last few months, but I wanted to share this segment I did on on how to advocate for non-biased and weight-neutral care at the doctor’s office.

One of the most dangerous impacts of medical fatphobia is having doctors blame all of your symptoms on fatness and the solution given is weight loss. This is an all too common experience for people living in larger bodies which results in misdiagnosis, late diagnosis and sometimes no diagnosis at all. It can even lead to people no longer wanting to go to the doctor at all. This is what we mean when we say fatness doesn’t kill people, anti-fatness does.

Check out this segment via the link in my bio to learn more about how to politely decline the weigh in and advocate for weight neutral care.

Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect at the doctor’s office and to receive evidence based and diagnostic care.

Yeah, I know so many of us have had (or have) distorted perceptions of our bodies, but let’s look at what caused that in the first place, k?

Very few people are addressing (or are even acknowledging) fatphobia in our culture. Most people choose to run from it or worse, are so entrenched in it, they can’t even recognize it.

I started doing the work to dismantle my own fatphobia because no other issue had more power or control over my life than the shame, hatred and discomfort of my own body. I started hating my body when I was only 8 years old. I developed an eating disorder a few years later. I lost a dear friend to anorexia a few years after that. My relationship to my body is something I had struggled with my entire life.

Unfortunately, I do not carry a unique story. Hating our bodies is not only culturally accepted, it is encouraged. We bond through shared hatred of our own bodies. And we hate our bodies because of the rampant and systemic fatphobia we have had taught to us and engrained in us our entire lives.

If you are feeling the way I used to feel, I've just had a spot open up in my upcoming body acceptance workshop starting this coming Monday 1/23. I would love to have you join us for this truly life-changing work. Send me a message and I'll be happy to send you more details and chat with you about the workshop.

If you want help dismantling your anti-fatness, my next body acceptance workshop will help. We start in a few weeks. Click the link in my bio to book a free discovery call and find out if this life changing work is right for you.

Image Descriptions:
Slide 1: “Feeling good” in your body is such a simple phrase for such a complex goal. Because what does "feeling good" actually mean? Especially for those living in fat and/or marginalized bodies? A thread...
2: Does it mean improving your body image - your feelings about your body?
Does it mean acknowledging your anti-fat bias?
Learning (and embodying) that your body is good regardless of what it looks like and what it can do?
3: Does it mean engaging in health promoting activities? Adding more movement in? Improving mobility? Adding a variety of foods? Eating enough food? Getting enough sleep? Taking meds? Going to therapy? Learning how to set boundaries for yourself? Respecting your body?
4: Does it mean being treated with dignity and respect in the world? By your colleagues, doctors, providers, friends, family, strangers? Does it mean being seen and treated as a desirable human being, worthy of being loved?
5: Does it mean accessibility? Being able to sit in public spaces, stadiums, amusement parks, doctor's offices, restaurants, schools? Being able to drive or sit in any car? Being able to sit in any chair at a friend’s house? Having the clothes and items you want available in your size?
6: Does it mean access to equitable healthcare? To have your symptoms taken seriously? To be given diagnostic and evidence based care? To be treated as a human being? To be given access to health insurance and life insurance?
7: Because so often the solution given to "feeling good in your body" is reduced down to "simply changing" your body in order to boost confidence. When in reality collective action and responsibility is required - which looks more like dismantling our anti-fatness, and therefore our racism, ableism, classism etc. (as anti-fatness is intersectional).

We can't do better until we know better. So I hope you're listening so you can do better. You can change that scene in your music video. And as a fan, I really hope you do!
