Hey there! Have you ever noticed how fat noticing has become so commonplace? It’s like everywhere you turn, someone is pointing out someone else’s size. I mean, it’s gotten to the point where it’s almost second nature. Ugh, it’s so annoying! But what can we do about it? Well, let me tell ya - a lot! We can start by being more mindful of our words and actions and making sure we’re not contributing to this problem. Let’s all work together to make fat noticing a thing of the past!
How Did I Get So Fat Without Noticing? [Solved]
Wow, you’re really not taking care of yourself! You’re eating without thinking and not exercising, plus you’re stressed. No wonder you’ve gained 20lbs - if only you’d been taking your measurements regularly, then maybe you could’ve caught it earlier and reversed it quicker.
Awareness: Becoming aware of the presence of fatphobia in our society and how it affects individuals is the first step to understanding and addressing fatphobia.
Education: Educating yourself on the history of fatphobia, its effects on individuals, and how to combat it is essential for creating a more inclusive environment for all body types.
Language: Paying attention to language used when discussing body size can help reduce stigma associated with being overweight or obese. Avoid using words like “fat” or “obese” as insults or derogatory terms, and instead use language that is respectful and affirming of all body types.
Representation: Supporting media outlets that feature diverse representations of bodies can help create a more inclusive culture around body size and shape. This includes celebrating plus-size models, actors, athletes, etc., who are often underrepresented in mainstream media outlets.
Advocacy: Taking action against fatphobic policies such as weight-based discrimination in healthcare settings or workplace dress codes can help create an environment where people feel safe regardless of their size or shape
Fat noticing is when you become aware of the fat-shaming messages that are all around us. It’s like a wake-up call to how pervasive these messages are, and how they can affect our self-esteem. You might start to notice things like ads that promote unrealistic body standards, or people making comments about someone’s weight. It’s important to be mindful of these messages and take steps to counter them with positive affirmations about yourself and others. So, let’s get out there and start fat noticing!
