Can You Be Body Positive and Still Want to Lose Weight? // Fresh Perspectives

The ultimate goals of body positivity involve promoting respect and acceptance of differences and the right of each of us to choose what is best for our health. Those are also goals of the Obesity Action Coalition.

In this episode of Fresh Perspectives, OAC members reflect on body positivity and how it relates to people with obesity. The group discusses common misconceptions, how healthcare providers can promote the movement to their patients, and how each member practices accepting their bodies.
