One of the biggest barriers people who are trying to unlearn anti-fat bias have, is dealing with other people who won’t stop talking about diets and how much they don’t want to be fat. Often these are friends or loved ones and commonly they aren’t talking negatively about YOU directly, but about THEMSELVES (of course there are many exceptions to this). BUT the message they are sharing is that fatness is bad, they don’t want to look like you or that dieting is a good solution to fatphobia. How the heck do we deal with these people? I am answering real-life scenarios from followers today and the biggest culprit that comes up is” mother in law”….lol, ugh.
