RECLAIMING BODY TRUST®
A PATH TO HEALING AND LIBERATION

By  Hilary Kinavey & Dana Sturtevant

​

RECLAIMING BODY TRUST IS
BOTH PERSONAL AND POLITICAL

We struggle to recognize the role discrimination, stigma and oppression play in our overall well-being. We fail to see how our conversations about well-being bypass the social determinants of health. We over-rely on personal responsibility and bootstrapping rhetoric. We reinforce a hierarchy of bodies that is upheld across systems and institutions. This book explores where and why that coping began, how it evolved, and how we get free.

You Have the Right to Remain Fat
​

By Virgie Tovar​

​

Growing up as a fat girl, Virgie Tovar believed that her body was something to be fixed. But after two decades of dieting and constant guilt, she was over it―and gave herself the freedom to trust her own body again. Ever since, she’s been helping others to do the same. Tovar is hungry for a world where bodies are valued equally, food is free from moral judgment, and you can jiggle through life with respect. In concise and candid language, she delves into unlearning fatphobia, dismantling sexist notions of fashion, and how to reject diet culture’s greatest lie: that fat people need to wait before beginning their best lives.
