INDD brings the size acceptance community together and provides the impetus many need to get involved and make a difference. Discrimination in employment, health care, education, and housing exists for fat people. Fat people face accessibility issues daily. This has caused an obsession with dieting in our world. Dieting obsession has led to deadly eating disorders, unhealthy use of diet pills, weight loss surgeries with serious long-term health degradation, and a myriad of health problems due to poor eating habits.
Research shows that long term weight loss is unattainable by most people.
Recognize how dieting perpetuates violence against women. Honor victims and survivors of eating disorders and weight-loss surgery. Work to end size-related discrimination and prejudice. If you'd like to observe INDD whereever you are, wear a light blue ribbon on May 6. SeaFATtle's Annual Celebration 1997 SeaFATtle, in cooperation with Sisters of Size and the Women's Centers of Shoreline and Seattle Central Community Colleges, put on a series of events for International No-Diet Days.
