Reporter Nancy Redd, myself, and three other women discuss weight stigma, self-acceptance, and living for health.
I’ve just started this journey into body acceptance and self love, I’ve gained about 80lbs in the past 8 years and I have a hard time dealing with the lack of confidence I feel I have now, compared to then. Although, I can’t really remember how I felt about my body 8 years ago, I know right now I’m ashamed. And I shouldn’t be. This discussion/video & the article along with it was so inspirational. Today, someone asked me if I had lost any weight, considering I’d be snacking on assorted veggies & fruit since I started working with this company 3 months ago. I think we I first started, I made the mistake of telling people I was doing it to lose weight. Which is why I didn’t really enjoy it. But today, when my coworker asked me if I lost weight, I was more than happy to say that I hadn’t but that wasn’t my focus, I just wanted to put healthier foods in to my body. Thank you for what you do!
