[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Body dysmorphia and disordered eating are problematic, but so is being overweight or obese. The body positivity movement that encouraged us to relax about being fat didn’t favors for our visceral organs, arteries or joints. Your brain may feel happier, but your knees and livers de decidedly do not.[/quote] [b]I’ve never thought of the body positivity movement as encouraging people to be relaxed about being fat[/b], but more about accepting the way your body naturally wants to be (when you’re eating balanced meals and moving your body regularly). Many of our mothers who are now in their 70s and 80s had to constantly restrict their natural appetites and/or smoke cigarettes to remain thin. And strenuous exercise was frowned upon—too masculine! So while their small waists might have made them look healthier than a fat person, that definitely wasn’t necessarily the case.[/quote] Not a fact. [/quote]
