'Our children deserve better than the shame the diet industry offers them.' -from yrfatfriend's first column for selfmagazine
, the new weight loss app designed for teens and children as young as eight, I was suddenly 11 years old again, sitting on the steps of a community center basement, summoned by the failure of my too-fat body. I was somehow both too much and too little.
All of that stands in such stark contrast to my life in adulthood. Today, at 35 years old, I am so proud of who I have become: the professional and academic successes I’ve garnered, the family I cherish, the relationships I’ve built, the ways in which I’ve failed, and the ways in which I’ve grown. Most days, I carry that pride and full heart with me, an awareness of the charmed and ever-evolving life I am privileged to lead.
I learned as a child in Weight Watchers that the joy of eating was reserved for those who were forever thin. The rest of us, I learned, needed to spend our lives weighing and cataloguing our food intake, pushing our bodies past exhaustion to. I learned to expect the public humiliation of being weighed and assessed each week, my weight catalogued in a ledger by our group’s leader. In time, that shame lived within me, long after I stopped attending meetings.
