I agree with SFG that brush is too broad, but if weight loss is not to be maintained from every size, what can be done but to do the best you can where you are? I don't see anything wrong with encouraging that (anymore than encouraging some friend, regardless of size, to take up Nordic Walking). But it does make some people prickly, probably because they've been hounded by weight-loss proponents all their lives and this sounds really similar to their ears.<br /><br />Let's see if your blog will let me post today.DebraSYhttp://www.justmaintaining.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421007530617008911.post-91027464725456785402011-10-17T21:55:15.461-04:002011-10-17T21:55:15.461-04:00Great post, and so glad you identified the differe...Great post, and so glad you identified the differences between FA and HAES; all too often I hear reference to HAES which appears to omit the health component, focusing instead simply on size acceptance.<br />Unfortunately, because there is often such anger out there (for good reason, perhaps, given the discrimination experienced), personal size acceptance is the end point vs a focus on getting healthy (for those who might need to do so).<br />I, too, have a post coming on the subject!HikerRDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170145903147301280noreply@blogger.com
