Not One More

uhsinc_remote2021-02-12T07:06:36-08:00February 10th, 2021|

Woman with her hand up
By Nikki Rollo, Jannie Martinez, Fiona LaRosa-Waters & Christina Martinez

Not one more person living with the experience of body shame and self-loathing
Not one more body labeled as unworthy of love
Not one more child given negative messages about their weight and shape
Not one more moment lost to fear and anxiety
Not one more individual receiving culturally incompetent care for an eating disorder

Not one more person thinking that mental illness does not exist
Not one more provider making the mistake of not asking BIPOC questions around eating disorders
Not one more voice being silenced for speaking their truth
Not one more loved one thinking that eating disorders can be fixed by “just eating”
Not one more doctor thinking that BMI is for all individuals

Not one more person denied treatment by their insurance company
Not one more fat joke on late night TV
Not one more space telling us our bodies are not welcome
Not one more loss for a family to endure
Not one more soul dying to be smaller

Not one more breath will go exhaled without having given my body rest, slowness and warmth
Not one more breath will go exhaled without having honored the joy in my bones that beckons to be celebrated
Not one more breath will be spent on speaking negatively about my body, my disease or my character
Not one more moment will go without giving myself the grace to be broken and the strength to reach out for help
