The push against diet culture

[forgotten_aria]

Running my body positive IG, one thing is becoming clear. I'm getting lots of follows and even some PMs from people who want to help me lose weight. They see fat girl working out, they see money.

I need to ramp up my message I guess, though I'm sure that that won't stop them, but at least I can feel better I'm pushing against these people. It's going to take me a while to figure out my exact message, because I mostly wanted it to be a positive "don't let being fat make you afraid to try physical things" and not all out HAES push back, but maybe I have to think about that.

I like your message. But yeah, the pervasiveness of diet culture may need a bigger hammer :-(
