Even though we are beginning to see movement in the extension of size ranges from straight size brands (really not many though and mostly for small to medium fats), the fashion industry is the other major player in maintaining fat phobia on a social level.

Internalised fat phobia is when you believe the stereotypes about fat people and attribute them to yourself, and also informs the lens of how you see other fat people. Noticing where your IFP shows up and doing some work around that can be incredibly liberating and frees you up to live your life more aligned with values you determine internally - rather than values based on trying to overcome the effects of stigma from a fat phobic environment. #fatphobia Societal Issues, When You Believe, My Mental Health, Perfectionism, Live Your Life, Body Size, Beauty Routines, Take That
