From around the webz this week …
- Losing it in the anti-dieting age by Taffy Brodesser-Akner in New York Times Magazine – touches on how dieting for weight loss has been replaced with the “health” imperative.
- We must stop making these mistakes about Body Positivity by Ragen Chastain on Ravishly – for me, explains clearly the way that the shift from weight loss goals to “health” is not unproblematic. This quote: “Health is a complicated and multi-faceted concept, and it can change at any time. That’s why it’s important that we have the chance to love and appreciate our bodies regardless of health status.“
- This Target ad totally nails what it means to be an athlete. And yeah, it’s not a big deal on Upworthy. It’s nice when corporates work harder to get better at representation.
- This Girl Can sports campaign for women coming to Australia after going viral in the UK on ABC News – I love this ad. I sometimes watch it after training. Love your jiggly bits!!!
- (On Facebook) A Superfit Hero shorts review on the Superfit Hero Facebook page – am hoping to pick up a pair of these soon.
Enjoy …
Cheers, leesa
