More from the book.

1) Challenge Cultural Influences
a. Nine ways to challenge Cultural Influences
i. Dieting is a form of oppression, do not diet!
ii. Notice how television stereotypes people according to weight, and turn off those kinds of shows.
iii. Tear out and discard magazine photos of skinny women. How many pictures of women are left?
iv. Write letters to advertisers and manufactures that promote values of thinness. Tell them how they’ve contributed to your anorexia/bulimia.
v. Respect people without regard to their size.
vi. Take the energy that you spend on your obsession with food and weight, and funnel it into a more productive direction.
vii. Don’t tolerate negative comments that others make about weight.
viii. Get involved with, or financially support, organizations that promote size acceptance or eating disorder prevention.
ix. Reject your fear of fat.
