No Fat Talk
The week may be nearly over, but you can still do your part during Fat Talk Free Week.
The Reflections: Body Image Program is running a week-long campaign to get women to stop “fat talking” and help change the perception of what is fat and what is healthy. The organization, together with Delta Delta Delta and other partners, are raising awareness across the nation of the dangers of “fat talk” and the effects it has on a woman’s self-esteem and confidence.
“10 million women are dealing with eating disorders in this country, which is more than are suffering from breast cancer. It’s time we take control over our own destinies, our own bodies, and our own inner dialogues,” the program says on its website. “We’re changing the conversation to create a more positive body image for ourselves, our mothers, our sisters, our daughters, and our friends.”
Now running in its second year, Fat Talk Free Week is inviting women of all ages across the country to remove the word “fat” from their vocabulary and help make a difference, if only for a week.
“Each day, women will be given a daily ‘charge’ of something positive they can do related to having a positive body image, while shining a spotlight on the issues and statistics of body image and eating disorders in women.”
