Have you ever noticed how much negative language about our bodies pervades our conversations? The saying about "sticks and stones" really isn't true - words and names do hurt us.
Friends don't let friends Fat Talk.
That's why Tri-Delta has teamed up with the National Eating Disorders Association, the National Organization for Women, the Academy of Eating Disorders, and other partners to sponsor "Fat Talk Free Week." It's an awareness effort to draw attention to the damaging impact of fat talk and the “thin ideal” on today’s women in society. So make a pledge this week amongst your friends and family to bury the fat talk. In fact, make pledge not to say anything negative related to appearances in general - it's actually going to be a lot harder than you think.
