Banishing fat talk

Description

More than once during their careers, personal trainers and group-exercise instructors will hear their clients proclaim that, ""I feel fat."" On the other hand, an argument can be made whether or not those words even make sense. Is fat a feeling? In reality, far too often, personal trainers reinforce the ill-advised mindset of exercisers who ""feel fat,"" and join in their ongoing struggle against their perceived loathsome body parts or their gluttonous habits. Banishing Fat Talk takes a closer look at the disparaging (and widely used) language called ""fat talk"" and its implications on weight management, social interactions, creativity, productivity, and performance.
