Totally agree. I'm still very early in my recovery from diet culture and learning to eat intuitively. The more I learn, the more I realize my body is just fine. The cognitive dissonance I feel comes from living in a body that's deemed unacceptable by most of society. The bias is what needs to change.

I really like that idea of body reflexivity -- "your body is for you, my body is for me"!

So excited to have pre-ordered. I will forget that I have done so and know I will be thrilled next January to have it arrive in my mailbox! I follow many, many folks involved in the fat liberation sphere and have been so excited to start following your work — you have introduced a new way of thinking about weight stigma due to your philosophy discipline. I don’t know how I first found your Substack (likely from Burnt Toast), but I am glad that I did!
