Discussion: Size Acceptance Activity 

Click here to assess the “Size Acceptance” behavior assessment sheet and rate the listed behaviors on how often you find yourself doing them: 1-never, 2-rarely, 3-occasionally, 4-frequently, 5-daily. Follow the instructions on the bottom of the sheet to help you analyze some of your size acceptance behaviors and answer the following questions:

  1. What does the behavior assessment tell you about your current ideas, behaviors, and concepts of body size and people’s weights? 
  2. What are some of the statements that you didn’t expect to be unhelpful or harmful that can be this way? 
  3. Tell about if you feel you need to make any changes in your attitudes and behaviors and what they would be?

Post your activity to the Discussion: Size Acceptance Activity forum in the discussion area.
