Overweight women find support and self worth in group
Eight professional and unemployed women share sorrows and joys in a sunlit room. Psychologist Arlene Foreman formed a two year old weight focused group where members discuss dating discrimination and self acceptance beyond dieting. Some have lost weight while one aims to model at 290 pounds. Foreman criticizes dieting culture as abusive and promotes a non judgmental space where members can gain confidence and care for themselves without shame. The group’s aim is total self acceptance and healthy living rather than rigid weight loss.
