[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lost 60 pounds which makes me just 50 pounds overweight. I will likely never lose that other 50 pounds but I feel better, move more and look better in a smaller body. I had forgotten how it felt to try clothes on in a store and have them fit. To not feel like people were watching and judging me when I ate or tried to exercise. I did/do not love being fat. But it is unhealthy to hate my body, which gets me up every day and gets me around the world. I think the body positivity movement is about not hating your body and honoring what it can do. [/quote]

This. I'm working on loving my body just so I *can* lose weight. [/quote]

Body positivity is great. Healthy at every size is a fantasy. The OP asked about HAES. [/quote]

I’m a registered dietitian in dc working in weight management and I think this sums it up perfectly

Maybe not every size but acting like a size 12, 14, 16 is unhealthy is incorrect.[/quote]

Well that definitely depends on height...[/quote]

RDN in weight management again. That is correct. i would never assume that someone is overweight simply based on their dress size. Health care professionals use real evidence, not appearances. [/quote]
Ah. RDN. Those lovely ghouls who helped convince us all that dietary fat was the devil, that satiating butter, animal fat and egg yolks were worse for us than anything, that if we put butter on vegetables we might just as well not eat them. The period in which that was the advice coincided with America’s astonishing weight gain. Hmm.[/quote]
