Nice to meet you, Edie.

I'm an eating disorder therapist.

I'm gonna do my best to not use the O word because I find it pretty offensive.
Surrounded
Jillian Michaels vs 20 Body Positivity Activists
So I'm gonna use fat-bodied as we talk.
Surrounded
Jillian Michaels vs 20 Body Positivity Activists
Do you understand why people find it harmful and triggering?
Surrounded
Jillian Michaels vs 20 Body Positivity Activists
Yeah, I agree with you on that.
Surrounded
Jillian Michaels vs 20 Body Positivity Activists
Yeah, I just wanted to clarify, though, the language.
Surrounded
Jillian Michaels vs 20 Body Positivity Activists
So the claim that you're saying is that it is inherently unhealthy to live in a fat body.
Surrounded
Jillian Michaels vs 20 Body Positivity Activists
Where are you getting that information from?
Surrounded
Jillian Michaels vs 20 Body Positivity Activists
No, that's not true.
Surrounded
Jillian Michaels vs 20 Body Positivity Activists
There is no disease that just fat-bodied people get.
Surrounded
Jillian Michaels vs 20 Body Positivity Activists

Surrounded
Jillian Michaels vs 20 Body Positivity Activists
That's not what it is.

You don't even know what I'm talking about.
