The picture of a sunny day.

“When you encourage people to be ashamed of their bodies, you decrease the chances that they will believe that they are worthy of care.

Shaming may actually create the problems that it’s purported to solve: Peter Muennig from Columbia found that the stress of stigma and shame were correlated with the same diseases with which obesity is correlated. So every time you make someone feel bad about themselves, you put their health at risk.”

~An EXCELLENT post by Ragen.

Repeat it, because it is SO TRUE.

“People don’t take care of things they hate and that includes their bodies.”

“People don’t take care of things they hate and that includes their bodies.”

“PEOPLE DON’T TAKE CARE OF THINGS THEY HATE AND THAT INCLUDES THEIR BODIES.”
