- Thanks But No Thanks, Oprah #DitchTheDiet2016 by Adiba Nelson - "Girl, please. To use the actual phrasing from her 10%-ownership-obligatory commercial for Weight Watchers — I've been down that road, honeychild. But here’s the difference between me and O — I’m still on that road. I’ve been on that road since 2013 because I decided that I could actually LOVE my body, as it was, because it carried me through my day. It was (and still is) my best body. O says to make it the year of having the best body — but by whose standards? Who says what the “best body” is? Glamour? Cosmo? Maxim? Siri? Who, Oprah? WHO?... Fitting into last summer’s skinny jeans does not shield you from a heart attack, just like tipping the scales at 205 pounds does not mean you can’t climb 17 flights of stairs in under five minutes or cycle 12 miles in under an hour or still look fly as hell in a size-16 wedding gown — ALL OF WHICH I DID IN MY BEST BODY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MISS O.Nothing is ever good enough, small enough, big enough, enough enough. She is asking women to make this year the year they have their best bodies when the standard of what’s considered “best” changes every other week. It’s irresponsible, unfair, and just plain gross. But I get it, she has a 10% stake in this, so she has to make sure she makes her money back. "
- "You're enough. Instead of making a resolution to lose weight, reflect on how you want to take care of yourself. How do you want to feed yourself? Move (or not move) you body? Pursue a favorite hobby or passion? Connect with others? Find stillness? What serves you best?We invite you to lose the shame and blame that accompanies weight loss diets and, instead, gain the freedom that comes with attuned eating, body acceptance and positive self-care." - Diet Survivors Group
- ""Weight Watcher’s advertising feeds on women’s insecurities and promotes this illusion that you’ll be happier and more confident by losing weight. It’s a shame-based system that makes us believe that if we don’t look or eat a certain way, there is something wrong with us. Diet culture uses fear of shame (a.k.a. fear of being fat) as their primary motivating factor which perpetuates a belief that we are not enough as we are and that our life’s abundance is contingent on being ‘thin’ - CARE // An Open Letter To Oprah: Why Your Investment In Weight Watcher’s Is Bad News For Women

No-diet talk
- **Diet Talk by Angela @ Axis of Fat "Again, it’s all about “fixing” broken bodies. Because body hate is all we really see and hear from the media, family, and friends, it’s difficult to be the one voice of body love and acceptance in a world full of people having a different conversation. But starting that conversation is an act of rebellion; it is active dissent against beauty standards, fat shame, pro-anna, self hate, and girl hate. Instead of sharing trends for fixing bodies with diets, let’s share the trend of body acceptance.
