Hi Sweet Friends:
I know you have a lot on your mind right now. Me too! We’re collectively going through something incredibly difficult.
But the one thing you truly shouldn’t be worried about is your weight. Regardless of what all the memes keep trying to tell you.
The fear of gaining weight during this time of social distancing seems to be running rampant.
But it’s not funny. It’s not helpful. And it’s not good for anyone’s mental health.
While some of us may be sharing these jokes with good intentions, in hopes of laughing together or, in the very least, distracting ourselves from the matter at hand, what we’re doing is problematic.
Fatphobia hurts everyone. And the world truly doesn’t need any more hurt.
So I invited Maryann Auger, a non-diet, weight inclusive certified personal trainer, online coach, fitness instructor and nutrition coach to speak with us. She’s going to help us take a positive turn.
Ready? Let’s do this! Take it away Maryann…
