Are the things we are being taught to fear, real or imagined? Heres an example from the 1800s – Bicycle Face, a warning from Doctors. Its always worth questioning the thinking behind these warnings, who may be benefiting from it? And given enough momentum do these warning become so well accepted that no one ever questions again? I truly believe that many of the warnings around weight is the modern equivalent of bicycle face. Peel away the paranoia, the hype, the stereotypes and the dogma around weight and you begin to discover a very different picture. HAES is not about telling people to be fat as some naively presume, but rather encouraging self directed management for health. Engaging people in loving their bodies and discovering the pleasure in food and movement. To assess health by what they feel not what a scale or measuring tape or magazines tell them. vox/2014/7/8/5880931/the-19th-century-health-scare-that-told-women-to-worry-about-bicycle
