Because bellies get shamed.
FAT-TALK-FREE FEBRUARY DAILY CHALLENGE: Today, rub your belly and tell it you love it. What does it feel like to do that? Do you believe yourself? How do you feel about your belly?
Bellies! Tummies! Stomachs! Breadbasket! Paunch! Potbelly! Spare tire! Muffin top!
I'll never forget the day my cousin reached over and pinched my belly during a Special K commercial. Their tag line used to be "You can't pinch an inch on me". My cousin was showing me that you could, in fact, pinch and inch on me.
A person's stomach can be so easily shamed by the diet-industry using the stomach as the area advertised.
Fat talk is when you say things about the size of your stomach. When you shame your body out loud, you are shaming the bodies of all the people who hear you. Often, the response to hearing someone say negative things about a body is thinking negative things about your own body.
Be kind.
