We attune to other beings’ nervous systems and emotions.
We attune for greater connection and to read beneath the surface of our interactions.
We attune in an attempt to keep ourselves safe.
We attune to sense into what feels true and determine what feels like a lie. We may also attune to hear parts of ourselves or sense parts of others that have been quiet or sublimated.

If you’ve experienced trauma, stigma, or oppression, the resulting hypervigilance that has ensued to keep you safe likely means your energy and attention has been externally oriented, and rightly so. For marginalized folks, danger and a possibility of violence are part of everyday life.

We aren’t suggesting that you totally drop the armor.
The question is, how might you begin to attend to your inner world as much as the one happening outside of you?

Lifestyle factors, individual health behaviors, account for as little as 5-25% of health outcomes-- not near the powerhouse that we've been led to believe.
In fact, counting, tracking, and keeping food and movement tightly regimented only puts our nervous system in a state of hypervigilance, which wreaks havoc on our body's systems.
The truth is, factors like discrimination, oppression, genetics, and environmental racism affect our health far more than what we eat or how much we move.

Many of us, even knowing these facts, may still feel disconnected from our body's natural cues and signals. We recommend starting a gentle dialogue with yourself:
If you woke up in a weight-inclusive world, where you never had to worry about weight bias again, where you had access to all the inclusion, resources, and positive attention that you needed and wanted, what would you want to do to take care of yourself? What would you want to do more of? What would you want to do less of?

“People with fat bodies have historically been stigmatized in the US, even though studies show that weight is not necessarily a measurement of health. That’s a problem. A way to be a part of the solution: Listen and learn from fat activists, acknowledge that thin privilege is real, and know that accepting your body at any size can take time — people have been reckoning with it for centuries.”

"Fat" is not a bad word. But weight stigma is a clear public health problem. It’s time we talk about fatness and anti-fat bias.
