Activist Writes Poem to Shame Fitness Experts Sending ‘Fatphobic’ Messages

Title: Activist Pens Poem Calling Out Fitness Experts for ‘Fatphobic’ Messaging

Lindsay McGlone, a size 24 activist, has taken a stand against fitness experts who continually pester her with unsolicited weight-loss ads. The 26-year-old, who has faced bullying and discrimination for her size, has penned a powerful poem titled ‘I’m not your ideal client. I’m just fat’ to address the toxic messaging she receives.

McGlone, who has a strong social media following of 23,000, is tired of being bombarded with messages from fitness coaches and experts pushing weight-loss programs. In her poem, she emphasizes that beauty comes in all sizes and urges marketers to consider the negative impact of their actions.

This isn’t the first time Lindsay has spoken out against fatphobia. In 2020, she made headlines for calling out Airbnb hosts who banned guests over a certain weight limit. She has since dedicated herself to fat activism, promoting body confidence and self-love.

McGlone’s message is clear – unsolicited weight-loss messaging is harmful and perpetuates harmful stereotypes. She emphasizes the importance of pausing before sending out such messages and encourages a more thoughtful approach to marketing.

In a society that constantly pressures individuals to conform to a certain body type, Lindsay’s activism serves as a powerful reminder that all bodies are beautiful and deserving of respect. It’s time for the fitness industry to rethink its approach and stop perpetuating harmful narratives.
