Why is it hard to ask for help? Why is there limited resources to support my disability? Why is accessibility so limited in the world? What is the morality of health? Why do I want to be skinny so bad? How do I find a supportive gym? Is my gym judging me?
Guru Shabd, LMFT and Tresla, Advocate and Public Speaker get into this with collected peer reviewed journal research and even more passion than before. I am fat and feel like I have to shrink in order to be allowed to exist.
