The Lisa ShowUnderstanding Obesity and Being "Healthy" - Body Image, Part 6Whenever "body positivity" is mentioned, many people have a gut reaction of, "But we don't want to glorify obesity--that would be unhealthy!" It seems like many people see quote-unquote "healthy" living as something that can't coexist with loving your body at any size. On the other hand, many people are advocating for greater body love wherever body conversations are happening: in advertising, in movies, at the dinner table, and even at the doctor's office. So where is the disconnect? And how can we live our healthiest lives now, physically and emotionally, while working towards whatever goals we're shooting for?
