This week is Fat Talk Free Week, sponsored by Tri Delta.
This is a week for all of us to take stock of how we talk about our bodies. Are we using negative language or positive language to talk about our bodies? Does the language we use reflect our thankfulness for being alive, for having the wonderful gift that is our body, which allows us to move through the world and do things that we love and that make the world a better place?
Let’s take this week to try a new way of being; a new way of speaking and thinking. Let’s try not to disparage our bodies with “fat talk” such as “I’m so fat!” or “look at my rolls!” or “I really need to lose weight.” Let’s try this, and see how it might make life more vibrant, more life-giving, and allow us to be more grateful for the one wonderful body we’ve been given!
