The HAES Pledge, Registry, and Resource List: The Fine Print
The HAES Registry and Resource List are located at
www.HAESCommunity.org
. Participation is free. You will be asked to sign the HAES Pledge, reproduced below. The Registry and Resource List are intended to facilitate dialogue and connections between those interested in HAES and to support a diversity of HAES vantage points, not just the limited perspective presented in this book.
The Health at Every Size Pledge
Health at Every Size is based on the simple premise that the best way to improve health is to honor your body. It supports people in adopting health habits for the sake of health and well-being (rather than weight control). Health at Every Size encourages:
• Accepting and respecting the natural diversity of body sizes and shapes.
• Eating in a flexible manner that values pleasure and honors internal cues of hunger, satiety, and appetite.
• Finding the joy in moving one’s body and becoming more physically vital.
I pledge my support for Health at Every Size.
