The following year, and each year since then, No Diet Day has been celebrated internationally. 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.
Obesity research shows that long term weight loss is unattainable by most people.
INDD is our chance to get people out of the 'diet at all costs' routine, if only for one day. INDD continues to grow into more countries. INDD has been celebrated in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, England, Norway, South Africa, Russia, and the United States. INDD brings the size acceptance community together as no other day does, and provides the impetus many need to get involved and make a difference.
