Berrin A. Beasley, Weight Watching: The Ethics of Commodifying Appearance for Profit. (via jojojetspacecadet)
(via redefiningbodyimage)
At first glance, diet and makeover shows appear to be ethically responsible by helping people improve their appearance, albeit for profit, keeping in mind that the profit motive is not unethical in and of itself. Harming people in the pursuit of profit is. Both types of shows teach viewers that physical appearance is a person’s most important trait, and that extreme measures to alter appearance are acceptable as long as the result brings one closer to the culture’s physical ideal. It’s unethical of producers to cultivate these attitudes among viewers because it creates a mentality that demeans human dignity by reducing personal worth to outer appearance.
self-confidence, self-acceptance, and self-love looks and feels better than any diet, beauty product, or surgery out there.

i miss this - waking up by his side and kissing him, exactly like this, then just lying ontop of him, listening to his breathing, and feeling his heart beating.

I will always reblog this because it is so so important.

I just want to nail this to every stable surface I can find. I cannot count the amount of times that I’ve seen fat folks being encouraged, cajoled, and even forced into behaviors that would be recognized as disordered eating/exercising patterns in thin folks.
Pretty much everything that’s done on shows like The Biggest Loser would be called out as pro-ana/pro-orthorexia in a thin person. Exercising past the point that it hurts, to the point where you’re throwing up, even injuring yourself? Berating yourself because you didn’t lose ENOUGH weight this week? Constantly talking about how fat is weakness and thinness will make everything better, about how you can’t stand to be your current weight anymore? Emphasis on weight as a sign of how much control, strength, and worth you have? Viewing food as bad, as a temptation to sin? Constant sharing and talking about tips on how to minimize food intake, how to lose weight?
That sounds exactly like every pro-ana/pro-mia blog I’ve ever seen. It’s also what fat people are told we need to be doing to ourselves until we’re thin.

The reality is that fat people are often supported in hating their bodies, in starving themselves, in engaging in unsafe exercise, and in seeking out weight loss by any means necessary. A thin person who does these things is considered mentally ill. A fat person who does these things is redeemed by them. This is why our culture has no concept of a fat person who also has an eating disorder. If you’re fat, it’s not an eating disorder — it’s a lifestyle change.
