Fat thoughts are the kind of thoughts we have when we are criticizing our bodies, calling them too fat, too ugly, too big or too “whatever.” These thoughts are learned from our cultures’ fat prejudice and body hatred. Sometimes when we are young and experience shame or uncomfortable feelings. We change them into body hatred. When we begin to understand that our fat thoughts and body hatred are learned, then we can take the blame off our body, and process the deeper feeling in far more constructive and fulfilling ways.

She's available for public speaking engagements, coaching and consulting on yoga, horses as healers, creativity, eating disorders, body image, mindful eating, stress management and wellness.
