For example, a skinny person will never understand what it’s like living while being overweight. Recently, one netizen wanted to know about their experience, so they asked: “Obese people of Reddit, what is something non-obese people don’t understand or can’t understand?” The thread quickly became popular, as over 13k people came to share the things they think are unique to their experience. To delve deeper into the topic of body inclusivity, Bored Panda got in touch with a licensed therapist and clinical worker, Sarah Herstich. We asked her about the benefits of the body positivity movement and the myths people possibly associate it with. Since Herstich works with people who struggle with body image and eating disorders, she has a lot to say about the topic. Read our conversation with her below!

She points out how the movement is about dismantling the current power structures. “[It] invites a lens of intersectionality, exploring the relationship between power and race, gender, disability, sexuality, class and age, and their relationship to oppression. This is important to name because the body-positivity movement, in its origin, was meant to challenge systems that oppress, discriminate, and stigmatize bodies,” Herstich explains.

Herstich emphasizes that the body positivity movement is about so much more than just loving your body. “It’s a movement aimed at liberating all bodies while acknowledging that until all bodies are free from stigma and oppression, we are not truly body positive,” the licensed therapist explains.

“It supports people in acknowledging when their fear of fat originated, how that has made their body feel unsafe to live in, how they have internalized that as truth, and to build a new relationship with their bodies – coming home to themselves and treating their body in ways that are health-promoting and respectful.” RaggamuffinTW8 , Andres Ayrton Report

“If that existed, diet culture would not. As a society, we need to continue to do the work of dismantling systems of oppression that impact and harm bodies outside of the thin white ideal.” spacemermaid3825 , Sofia Alejandra Report
