Did you know that…
81% of 10-year old girls are afraid of being fat.
In the United States, more than 2/3 of women ages 18-25 would rather be mean or stupid than be fat and over 50% would rather be hit by a truck.
70 million people worldwide are suffering with eating disorders.
Fat Talk Free® Week (Oct 19 – 23, 2009) is an international, 5-day body activism campaign that draws attention to body image issues and the damaging impact of the thin ideal on women in society. This annual public awareness effort was borne from Tri Delta’s award-winning body image education and eating disorders prevention program, Reflections: Body Image Program™.
We were thrilled to partner with Tri Delta for this important cause – to begin to change the way women think about their bodies. Please visit our endfattalk.org website. Learn about the cause, watch the video we created, get involved, pass along to friends.
Friends don’t let friends fat talk!

Important cause that I will pass along to my friends and family. Everyone knows someone who could benefit from viewing the video and learning more from the tips and info for a better body image. Kudos to everyone involved for bringing this to the forefront!
