Thank you so much for all your hard work to help us become intuitive eaters. Ditching diet culture is a real struggle!!!

[@Pinkoflove3]

Most ppl don’t use self awareness so they must follow the crowd to look, act and eat the same way instead of helping themselves.
I eat donuts because it’s out there.
I don’t eat donuts because it’s not good for me.

I feel you missed an opportunity to discuss the racist, patriarchal, and religious influences that lead to diet culture. These were significant in the 16th-19th centuries and can still be felt/seen today. Learning that diet culture stemmed from racist white religious leaders who wanted to further gentrify society and control the "white elite", specifically women, was the biggest turning point in my journey breaking from diet culture. What would I let people like that control me and my body?

[@annefitzgerald1744]

Yes, interesting points! And I’d like to add that many “intuitive eating experts” today are often thin, white women who are educated in nutrition, (Abby Sharp, Colleen, Kara Corey, Whitney E, etc). There is a subtle message going on in the intuitive eating world too, even if it’s not intentional.

[@elissa3188]

@@annefitzgerald1744 there is a therapist- Mickey Atkins who definitely talks about diet culture or issues in the same vein from a therapist perspective- who is not thin.

I love IE and have been bingeing Colleen's videos. I started IE like a week ago, and I'm loving it. However, this video confuses me a bit... Is she saying that some people are healthy at like 400 lbs? I also don't see the issue with furniture for bigger people being more expensive. It makes sense to me. I agree that the idea we should be stick figures isn't good, but obesity isn't healthy, either.
