I was going to wait until Sunday, when I get my new married name, to post this… but I love the HAES too much to be so patient in posting it…
I got this from Linda Bacon’s website and I am signing the pledge today with the name I will be taking Sunday, because the last name I have at the moment makes me want to pull my hair out… I’d rather be registered by a name that doesn’t make me nauseas…: Accepting and respecting the natural diversity of body sizes and shapes.
Health at Every Size is based on the simple premise that the best way to improve health is to honor your body. It supports people in adopting health habits for the sake of health and well-being (rather than weight control). Health at Every Size encourages:
- Accepting and respecting the natural diversity of body sizes and shapes.
- Eating in a flexible manner that values pleasure and honors internal cues of hunger, satiety, and appetite.
- Finding the joy in moving one’s body and becoming more physically vital. I pledge my support for HAES.
Come-on ya’all! Let’s sign!

Already signed up!! And I love the little person hugging their heart. .. makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
LOL… do you know I’ve had that lil pic of a person with the little heart for a few weeks now… I’ve just been waiting for just the right post to use that pic on. I don’t think I’ll be able to resist using that pic again… I think it’s really special too!
I can’t find this body-moving joy, so I guess I won’t join the HAES club.
I’m sorry to hear that you have trouble finding joy in movement… though, I can really relate. Is there any kind of movement at all that you like, even if it’s not exercise and just fun? Dancing? Swimming?
Anyhoo, in my opinion, Cicadas, you can sign the pledge if you are working towards those things, but not necessarily a master of them yet. Some days, I feel like I’d rather pull my hair out than move. No joke. But, I signed the pledge because I believe joyful movement is a lovely concept and something I would like to incorporate more into my life, even if it’s about a 50/50 change on any day whether I will be in that mood where I simply don’t wanna move. Know what I mean?
Whether you pledge or not, you’re always welcome here. It’s just something I posted cuz I like it. It’s not required for hanging here. 😉
I signed the pledge, too, a while back!
Thanks for linking to this! Really enjoy your blog x
