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.

Fatphobia hurts everyone. And the world truly doesn’t need any more hurt.

Ready? Let’s do this! Take it away Maryann…
