“Government & Weight Stigma (Body Empowerment 57)” - Originally posted May 7, 2012 on YouTube.
This video responds to a viewer’s question:
diaryofabulimic asked:
“I wanted to ask you if you would do a video on the pressure to be thin from the government. With BMI charts and ‘fat’ labels everywhere and being overweight, I find it really feeds into my eating disorder and makes it harder to justify recovery to myself. What are your thoughts and opinions on this? Do you have any advice on how to cope when its such a trigger and pressure?”
