Though toxic weight loss & diet culture surrounds us all the time, it seems to run even more rampant each January. This year, I want to share as many voices as possible expressing why they aren't focused on losing weight in 2017.
As the month goes on, I hope the number of these quotes will grow! They will if you contribute! You can do so here. Throughout January, I'll be posting more quotes here, writing about my perspectives on the topic, and amplifying the work of others who are also speaking out against "New Year! New You!" bullshit.
Many thanks to the folks who have contributed! To see full quotes, click here or hover over each image. If the contributor has more to say, their full quote will pop up.
(2018 Update: Check out this piece in the Star Tribune inspired by this project.)
