Thin Privilege

Recognizing thin privilege on your body positive journey

In this article, I explore the concept of ‘thin privilege’ and why being ‘body positive’ doesn’t have the exact same implications for all.

ANY weight loss interventions for kids and teens can have devastating long term consequences. They need to be VERY carefully looked at, and investigated for potential long term risks before succumbing to a bias towards thinness, in a society that discriminates larger bodies in the name of “health” - WITH LIMITED EVIDENCE these weight loss interventions actually work long term.

Reach out if you feel at a loss with your child’s weight.
And I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend the work of @ellyn_satter_institute that has been teaching families how to eat and stay healthy whatever our size for decades!!

Thanks so much @aliyahxelia for sharing this important moment with us all.

Of course your curls are gorgeous, and I wanted to jump on this reel because our reflex as parents is to respond with more beauty encouragement. But it can sometimes backfire, into a lifelong beauty obsession or constant external validation seeking. Which is reinforced by social media, of course.

The good news? Parents and caretakers can learn how to build up their children’s body confidence, BEYOND beauty.

The goal here is to connect + reassure in a way that is not just appearance related, bc the more confident we are, the better we are at standing up against the bullies too.

We are more than bodies as @beauty_redefined likes to say❤️

Force and courage to all the children out there being teased for the appearance, and to their supportive parents for always being their biggest fans🥰

Body image issues, that’s mental health. And let’s face it: mental health is still far far FAR from being a universal human right, and saying you feel alienated by how you look is still somehow tainted with too much shame and embarrassment. In fact, what led me to create my coaching practice is in part, to break stigmas and allow for people to have a safe space where they can talk, relate and heal. And of course, healing takes many modalities, including therapy and medications. But in 5 years of coaching, I have learned that healing is not a destination, it is a journey. Healing, for me and many of my clients, is the ability to change habits, rewire old brain connections, and change the way they see themselves but also the world. And that requires every day self-care, joy, nourishment. It’s a PRACTICE to feel better in your mind, your soul & your body.

How do you take care of your mental health? Tell me in comments👇🏻
