The first time I became body-conscious was when I was nine and went to the water park with my cousin. We were having a blast going down the slide when this dude at the top goes, “Sorry, man, pregnant ladies are not allowed on the slide.” The first five people behind me were like, “Heeheehee!” I went and put my shirt on… for the rest of my life.

As if I didn’t miss you enough already Margitte, I’m reminded of our best day together <3
Seriously one of the best days of my entire little life. Love and miss you, Jessica. <3
Sigh. I really just wanna hang out naked with awesome ladies.
Why is it accepted that some people who eat a ton of food can stay thin, but not accepted that some people who eat a small amount of food can be fat?
Since thin people get diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure, why is becoming thin suggested as a cure?
Why bother using BMI as a substitute for metabolic health measures when we can easily test metabolic health measures?
Doctors treat thin people for joint pain with options other than weight loss, why don’t they give fat people those same treatments?
Why do we believe that doing unhealthy things (liquid diet, smoking, urine injections coupled with starvation, stomach amputation) will lead to a healthy body?
If the diet industry’s product actually “cured fatness”, wouldn’t their profits be going down instead of up as more and more people were permanently thin?
Isn’t it medically unethical to prescribe something without telling your patients that it works less than 5% of the time with a much greater chance at leaving you heavier and less healthy than when you started?
Why do people continue to think that shaming people will lead them to health?
Why do we accept wide variations in things like foot and hand size, nose and lip shape etc. but expect every body to fit into a very narrow proportion of height and weight?
If weight gain isn’t proven to cause diabetes, high blood pressure etc., why would weight loss be recommended as a cure?
Since weight loss ads have to carry a “results not typical” warning, shouldn’t doctors have to give patients a similar warning?
Why do people take the time to come to my blog and make death threats?
Does anyone really succeed at hating themselves healthy? If so is it worth it?
If we’ve been prescribing dieting since the 1800s and still can’t prove that it works, shouldn’t we be trying something else?
How is it possible that suggesting that healthy habits are the best chance for a healthy body is controversial?
Yeah cool awesome thanks for all the knowledge Hank Green.
And look at the important ideas you’re sparking in your fans:
Kenneth, in particular, had some very scientific and important insight that he felt he had to bring to the discussion.

Feb 2. - Sometimes when you’re on, you’re really fucking on.
My goal for today: Be as human as possible. That is to say: function. I had a great talk with my therapist yesterday about how I feel like a zombie most days, wanting to be productive and cheerful but getting distracted and lonely instead. She suggested setting a scheduled day per week where I’m allowed to feel negativity and not dress up and be “blah”. Which sounded silly when she first said it but in a way it makes sense. It’s almost motivating to know I’m allowed to feel that way and that I can control it if I want to. So today is an “on” day. My first one in a while. I got up at a decent time, didn’t go back to sleep, made coffee and cooked a delicious breakfast, cut my bangs and got dressed before 11am. The rest of the day will be creating and creating some more. I might even leave my apartment. It’s a beautiful Thursday.
