Thank you for drawing that to my attention. Cynthia L.

You wrote: <br />"Increase[d] fat acceptance leads to more confident fat people. Fat people who are more confident will more often take stances that decrease their cortisol. This, in turn, will decrease their appetite and cravings."<br />The truth is that fat people are fat for a variety of reasons, most of them not very well understood. To suggest that all fat people are fat because they give in to food cravings is not correct and is also stigmatizing. Any suggestion that fat is inherently pathological and that fat people should try to become thin - by awareness of their cortisol levels or any other method - takes away from your beautiful suggestion of praising a person's awesomeness just the way they are. nsvnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690830057835669205.post-73561813232886622952014-05-22T16:44:38.271-04:002014-05-22T16:44:38.271-04:00Love this!
