The Truth

Let’s face it. After being bombarded with “thin is in” messages everywhere from TV to the tabloids, we have become a society largely obsessed with our appearance — and our weight.
This can be a good thing if it encourages healthy eating habits and exercise. Often, however, it leads to negative and even dangerous behaviors that erode self-esteem. Like “fat talk.”
We all know people who do this. In fact, some of us are probably guilty of it ourselves — often without even realizing it — because it can seem so innocuous. After all, how bad can it be to make an offhand comment about how fat we look in a certain pair of jeans or how guilty we feel about eating a particular food?

Turns out, very bad.
