This is a fantastic article, thank you for writing it. As someone who has been fat all my adult life I spent so much time hating myself, berating myself for my weakness, obsessing over calories and trying one diet after another. All of this left me even fatter than i was to start with and with a messed up relationship with food.

Since I discovered body liberation I’ve written many articles here trying to spread the word but still get a depressing number of negative comments. Thanks for joining in :)
