Fat Acceptance, at its foundation, is about believing there is no such thing as an unacceptable body.

YOUR BODY IS FINE.

It doesn’t matter if your body is a size 4 or a 14 or a 24 or a 34 or AND SO ON. YOUR BODY IS OKAY.

It doesn’t matter if you are a triathelete (of any size) or if you have a physical disability or an invisible illness or something else that keeps your body from performing the way other people think it should. YOUR BODY IS WORTHY OF RESPECT.

If your body is healthy, by your own standards or conventional medical standards, Fat Acceptance is for you.

If you body is unhealthy, by your own standards or conventional medical standards, Fat Acceptance is for you.

If your body is brown or black or red or yellow or white or any other color, your body deserves dignity. If you are trans or cis or genderqueer or asexual or any other designation, your body deserves dignity. If you are gay or straight or bi or asexual or any other orientation, your body deserves dignity.

YOUR BODY IS JUST FINE THE WAY IT IS.

Fat Acceptance isn’t about imposing other people’s rules on your body. Whether you practice HAES (Health At Every Size) or not, your body is not evidence of some moral failing. If you are lazy and self-indulgent and whatever other word you can think of to horrify those hard-working Puritans, your body is STILL not evidence of some moral failing.

Your body is your body.
