FAT-TALK-FREE FEBRUARY DAILY CHALLENGE: filter your thoughts through a lens of kindness and compassion before you speak.
You don't know what someone else struggles with internally. Only you can know your full story.
This morning I read a comic strip about how the word "offended" is used when we actually mean "hurtful".

When fat jokes are acceptable, we are reinforcing the shame people feel about their bodies. Speaking up against things that are hurtful is hard. It is also necessary if we want to create any lasting change.
Be kind.
