CLARIFICATION:
There seems to be some confusion about the message of Fox Tales Art, as well as the purpose of my Fat-Talk Free February awareness campaign. At no point have I ever suggested that people should ignore food with nutrients or give up exercise. My brand has nothing to do with the health affects of different weights. My message is the following:
1. Your body is your business.
2. No one has the right to shame someone.
3. Being over the ideal weight does not mean you are "unhealthy".
4. All bodies are to be loved, accepted, and valued.
5. People who have or are predisposed to Eating Disorders generally do NOT present as emaciated. EDs affect people of all races, genders, ages, abilities ... it is a mental illness, not a choice.
6. Shame only begets shame.
7. Kindness and compassion above all else.
8. Moving your body feels good and doesn't need to be a chore.
9. You don't need to change yourself because someone doesn't like your appearance.
10. Making changes to your lifestyle, eating habits, and physical activity are wonderful when they are made from a place of self-love. Making those changes due to shame, guilt, or deprivation will not lead to lasting change.
I hope this clears up the questions and comments I have been receiving.
