People who are incorporating Health at Every Sizeยฎ into their businesses are using a powerful framework to help mitigate weight stigma and fat oppression.

In addition to my work at Body Liberation Stock, I offer boudoir, portrait and small business branding photography sessions here outside Seattle, WA.

I used to think that I was too fat to be a professional photographer. I thought that no one would hire a fat photographer, that theyโd laugh at the very thought. From the safety of my corporate job, I watched people in thin bodies make other thin peopleโs dream images come true. In 2014, my…

“It took literally re-drawing the lines of the human form over and over again for me to understand that it is normal for bodies to be unique and that mine, soft and dimpled, was normalโฆand even beautiful, (and actually, really fucking sexy).” ยป Theresa Baxter Today’s interview is with @reesabobeesa. Here’s how she describes herself:…
“Who you are today is a valid and important part of the journey of your life. Please meet that person and welcome them, they are a foundation of who you are, even if you are not always in this exact body as this exact person. Your body is not a signal of your moral value…
Holidays are when cultural and social norms are instilled and heavily reinforced. That means those of us who live in fat bodies, or are LGBT+, are pretty likely to face a lot of criticism in spaces that should be joyful and warm and welcome. Itโs easy to say โwell, just cut those toxic family members…
“My fiction features โBig Beautiful Heroinesโ who always feel good about themselves. Even if they go into the book not feeling self-confident, they feel that way by the end of the book.

“I no longer view myself of only deserving to be treated like a priceless jewel when I am at a certain weight. I would not have met the love of my life if I hadnโt stopped viewing myself as someone people would only sleep with out of pity or lowered standards.” ยป Eve Enzweiler Today’s…
“It makes me happy knowing that Iโve helped so many people learn to love themselves, finally learn about a condition their doctors never noticed in them before, and more recently, to get the strength to leave an abusive ex. Knowing that Iโve helped others makes it all worth it.” ยป Lilith Fury Today’s interview is…
“When most people think of a dietitian they think of someone who is going to tell them what to eat and what not to eat. How to lose weight or how to keep weight off. Being a fat positive dietitian means my work focuses on weight neutral interventions that support the folks I work with…
“I have a history of disordered eating as a teenager and part of my recovery was seeking out real people who looked like me, and images of bodies that looked like mine. They were all amazing and beautiful, and they helped me understand that I could be, too. I think that was what lead me…
I wasn’t consciously thinking about @ragenchastain and her approach to running (slow and steady) when I climbed part of this trail in Mt. Baker National Forest, but I was thinking that I was tired.

“Fat visibility leads to fat joy, and fat pride, and everyone deserves to be joyful and proud of who they are โ especially those who are systematically marginalised because their bodies donโt fit some ephemeral, garbage ideal.

Louise Adams may call her wonderful podcast All Fired Up!, but I think of my episode as a phrase a little closer to my Southern U.S. roots: I’m all het up. I went down a small rabbit hole looking up the origins of that phrase, and it turns out that it’s a shortening of “heated…
