“Saying I’m fat is (and should be) the same as saying my shoes are black, the clouds are fluffy, and Bob Saget is tall. It’s not good, it’s not bad, it just is. The only negativity that this word carries is that which has been socially constructed around it.… We don’t need to stop using the word fat, we need to stop the hatred that our world connects with the word fat.”
We know...
ALL BODIES DESERVE RESPECT, CARE & NOURISHMENT–NO MATTER WHAT.

Why Suffer Out Loud?
Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses surrounded with a lot of stigma. Those who struggle with eating disorders are at a greater risk of suicide. Suffer Out Loud is leading an effort to reduce suicide rates in Montana by changing the conversation around mental illness.
We wanted to acknowledge that many of the creators of this initiative hold unearned privilege, including thin privilege. We hope this can be a small step towards building a bigger conversation that better includes the voices of those most affected by living in a world that doesn’t support all bodies equally.
