Check out this great @TEDx talk by @bodylovewellness on “Why It’s Okay To Be Fat!”

It’s so important that it get likes and views right now while it’s new. That’ll help it go viral, which would be amazing. To my knowledge, this the first TED or TEDx video on Health At Every Size and/or fat acceptance, so we need to represent!

I think you’ll really love the video. Here are a few things I share in the video:

  • What it was like going on my first diet at age 4.
  • Why all dieting is yo-yo dieting.
  • What it’s like to have what I call “scale-dependent self esteem.”
  • The truth about how often diets fail.
  • What the “obesity paradox” really means.
  • Why Health At Every Size principles are so healing.
  • And even more!

Thanks!

xo,
Golda

P.S. Come back tomorrow for a special giveaway . . . I’ll have more details in 24 hours.

P.P.S. Many thanks to all the folks who already liked it and shared it! You’re awesome!

  3. Thank you so much for this well presented talk and all that you do. We are so much more than our weight or dress size and deserve to enjoy our bodies at any size during our short time on the planet. I have promised myself to be as kind to myself as I am to others, enough of this self-inflicted cruelty. I’ll be following your blog for help along the way.
    Best,

  5. All dieting is yo-yo dieting is wisdom I wish I’d had before I wasted a good 35 years hating my body and yo-yo dieting.

    Golda, I’m certainly sorry about all the horrifying and hateful comments you got on your video. What the hell is the matter with people?
    Let’s say for argument’s sake that the majority of people find people of our size unattractive. Finding someone unattractive is no excuse in the world for the kind of venom that was directed at you.

  6. Thank you so much for this!! I watched it last week, and I didn’t realize it would get so much hate. I’ve always been thin, but in my late teens I started to have an anxiety/fear of gaining weight. It wasn’t too serious, but I’ve now been looking at fat acceptance, body positive things, and great research like what you presented, and it has really changed my outlook.
