Health At Every Size
What's Health At Every Size? It's an approach to health and well-being
that celebrates natural diversity in
body size, encouraging people to stop focusing on weight (or any numbers
on a scale, BMI, or calorie/fat/carbohydrate chart), dieting, or other
weight loss efforts in favor of listening to and respecting their natural
appetites for food, drink, sleep, rest, and recreation.
See the links at the bottom of this page
for more resources on Health At Every Size.
The basic
principles of Health At Every Size (HAES) as outlined by the
Association for Size Diversity & Health
are:
-
Accepting and
respecting the diversity of body shapes and sizes.
-
Recognizing that health and
well-being are multi-dimensional and that they include physical, social,
spiritual, occupational, emotional, and intellectual aspects.
-
Promoting all
aspects of health and well-being for people of all sizes.
-
Promoting eating in a manner
which balances individual nutritional needs, hunger, satiety, appetite,
and pleasure.
-
Promoting
individually appropriate, enjoyable, life-enhancing physical activity,
rather than exercise that is focused on a goal of weight loss.
Health At Every Size (sometimes referred to as Health At Any Size, or
Health For All Sizes) is a
solution to health concerns that helps people live well without
encouraging or reinforcing size/weight prejudices or phobias, poor body
image, or eating disorders—or the negative health consequences of
dieting-related weight loss and regain.
Pearlsong Press endorses Health At Every Size, and promises that every
book and product we publish or offer for sale, if published by another
company, celebrates size diversity or at least does not contradict it.
We won't guarantee that all novels' heroes and heroines are Big and
Beautiful like Pat Ballard's — but they won't be "fattist," either, unless,
possibly, that's clearly written as a character flaw. Similarly, some
nonfiction, such as Anne Richardson Williams's moving Unconventional
Dreams, won't deal specifically with size, weight, or physical health
issues, but it also won't reinforce negative attitudes about weight (or
age or gender or ethnicity).
If you see any deviation from the above in one of our books or other
products, please let us know. And let us know of any other HAES-friendly
books, authors, or other offerings you recommend adding to our
catalog.
In Joy,
Peggy Elam, Ph.D.
