from Profile In Flabulousness: My Interview With Marilyn Wann, July, 26, 2010
“If you hold a pom pom, and you get a whole bunch of your friends of all sizes who are rad about weight issues to hold a pom pom with you, and you all shout, ‘Give me an F!,’ people will give you an F. That’s a kind of a power.”
from Health At Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight
“The toughest challenge in adopting HAES is to recognize that change has got to come from inside you. You are trying to define your own beauty and value in an environment that doesn’t want you to get away with it. No industry profits from your self-love or from the very simple notion that you’ve already got the tools for fulfillment right there inside you.”

from Fat!So?: Because You Don’t Have To Apologize For Your Size
“Flabulous means not apologizing for your size. It means laughing at your detractors because you really do find them silly. Feeling flabulous means having that special something that makes people wish they had whatever it is you’ve got. True flabulousness is not exclusive–it inspires others, invites others, sometimes even compels others to explore their own flabulous streak. There’s plenty to go around. I can’t tell you where flabulous comes form or exactly how it will happen for you. All I can say is that waiting for someone else to give you permission is the opposite of flabulous.”
from IGIGI.com
“The awakening moment for IGIGI came when I went shopping with my mother – a very beautiful, amazing, and voluptuous woman. We were extremely disappointed at the lack of stylish, form-fitting, feel good clothes available for women with curves. Questions began to fill my head and I couldn’t stop thinking about them. Why were these beautiful women being subjected to wearing tent-like clothes? Why weren’t there more clothes or more stores offering stylish apparel? What were they afraid of? It was then and there when I realized it was my mission to transform the world’s view of beauty.”
from The Adipositivity Mission Statement
“The Adipositivity Project aims to promote size acceptance, not by listing the merits of big people, or detailing examples of excellence (these things are easily seen all around us), but rather, through a visual display of fat physicality. The sort that’s normally unseen.
The hope is to widen definitions of physical beauty. Literally.”
from Eating In The Light Of The Moon: How Women Can Transform Their Relationships With Food Through Myth, Metaphors & Storytelling
“In our culture, we value sunshine, daylight, and summertime over moonlight, nighttime, and winter. We notice if the sun is up or down, whether it will be a sunny or overcast day, but pay little attention to the moon and its phases. Likewise, we have to value only the masculine principles of direct action; single-minded focus; clear, logical thinking; goal-oriented, competitive behavior; linear structure; productivity; and achievement. We are uncomfortable with the feminine qualities of stillness, ambiguity, and emotion. We become impatient with cooperative, relationship-oriented attitudes, and see aesthetics, intuition, nurturance and earthiness as unimportant.”
from Health At Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight
“When you eat what you want and allow yourself to truly experience the pleasure, you feel satisfaction and contentment, which allows you to stop eating when you feel full. I’m not just saying this to make you feel good; numerous studies support this: Eating pleasurable food when you have a physical drive to eat won’t trigger consistent overeating in intuitive eaters.”
