Thanks - very entertaining - made me chuckle and smile! Seriously though, as well as walking to work please also eat a decent breakfast. It’s really important not to skip meals.

Thank you for this article Mamamia. I agree with its sentiments. It so important for women to have this conversation and to eliminate fat phobia. Thank you.

Thank you for this article Mamamia. I  think it is incredibly important for women to question their internalized fatphobia and body dissatisfaction. One of the first insults men often throw at women is that they are ‘fat and ugly’ as if this is the worst possible thing you could be. I am convinced that saying this is a way to for the patriarchy to make us feel dissatisfied with our shapes and is a way to control us, to make us want to literally take up less space, and to have a smaller, quieter voice in the world. I also think that people can be healthy at almost every size, but that extreme thinness AND being morbidly obese are cause for concern.  I also think it’s important to ask ourselves ‘ who profits from this?’ Companies/capitalism/the diet industry makes 

huge profits from our body dissatisfaction. Once again, huge thanks to Mamamia for this article. It’s so important for women to have this conversation.
