Three reminders for the days when you’re being hard on yourself and your desire to lose weight.

As anti-diet, weight inclusive dietitians, we talk a lot about celebrating the body you have right now without the pressure to pursue weight loss. In August, we’re taking a moment to pause in honor of Fat Liberation Month. Here’s what that means to us.

Let me ask you a question: When you started leaving diet culture and stepping foot in to Anti-Diet land, how did you do it? Did you read a book or listen to a podcast that when finished felt like a lightbulb had gone on over your head?

Or, perhaps you’re like me and it wasn’t as much a lightbulb but a friggin’ LIGHTENING BOLT through your very soul?? (I can be very dramatic, I know.)

Well, whatever happened to you as you tip-toed across the very magical line into food/body freedom land (what a beautiful place!) you needed resources, right? Social media accounts to follow, podcasts to listen to, books and articles to read late into the night as you shouted out loud, “Diet culture is such BS!”

If you want, need, or just love to collect resources, you’re in the right place.
