The diet industry would be wise to listen up.
by the same name now galvanize a community around the idea of “radical inclusivity.” Combatting the toxic body and beauty standards imposed by diet culture has been core to I Weigh’s mission from the beginning. Now, Jamil seeks for the brand to “” around issues of discrimination, mental health, climate change, and more. “Our job is to amplify, advocate, and pass the mic,” I Weigh’s Instagram bio reads.
And so now, let me take a cue from I Weigh and pass the mic to Jamil. She has a few things to say, and you’d be wise to listen.With Well+Good’s Bodies Issue, we're challenging the assumptions that people make about what a healthy body looks like or is capable of; we want to acknowledge and celebrate all the different complex feelings that people have about their bodies. So I'd love to start there.
"I've risked my life. I've damaged my life. I've almost certainly shortened my life because of everything that I did.". There's no such thing as a quick-fix lifestyle change, because your body is not built to adapt to speed changes. So whether you're trying to get bigger or smaller, you have to do these things slowly, gradually, sustainably, and with the guidance of a medical professional.
So the reason that I was pushing for neutrality is, let's give people a step to rest on before they strive for the peak of human enlightenment against all of the odds. Let's just give someone a rest stop, a waiting room. And if you live in that waiting room for the rest of your life, good for you, because then you still don't have to think about your body, whether it's with love or hatred. [My body is] the last thing I want to think about.
