A powerful video for a powerful cause: The health, wellbeing, high self worth, and positive body image of our girls and…us as valuable women of this world. We have achieved so much to push ourselves down, criticize ourselves and whisper in our own ears in the quiet of our minds that we are not enough, just as we are, at the weight we are, at the size we are. We are enough. Join in and end fat talk.
Who? Started by “Reflections,” which is a body image program that was co-developed with Dr. Carolyn Becker and the local sororities at Trinity University.
What? Reflections is a body image program that works to prevent eating disorders in collaboration with sororities. It is peer-led and evidence-based– so they have the goods. Their research has shown that Reflections reduces the risk-factors for eating disorders and improves body image perceptions among its participants.
What now? As the video shows, they are asking you to get on board and shut out fat talk– at least for one week, called, appropriately, “Fat Talk Free Week.” It takes place October 19-23rd.
Let’s support these girls by ending the criticism of ourselves. We are powerful– and amazing. Let’s show the world that we believe it so that these girls know that they can believe it too.

That video was beautiful, I loved it! That video was so sad, I hated it! But I will share it with everyone I know because our women and girls deserve better.
Body Image is the ceiling we keep ourselves under. Let’s break it wide open. Let’s redefine beauty for ourselves. Women and girls are valuable, beautiful and worthy in any, in every shape and size.
