Feminist Theology and Contemporary Dieting Culture
Author: Hannah Bacon
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0567659968
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
Hannah Bacon draws on qualitative research conducted inside one UK secular commercial weight loss group to show how Christian religious forms and theological discourses inform contemporary weight-loss narratives. Bacon argues that notions of sin and salvation resurface in secular guise in ways that repeat well-established theological meanings. The slimming organization recycles the Christian terminology of sin – spelt 'Syn' – and encourages members to frame weight loss in salvific terms. These theological tropes lurk in the background helping to align food once more with guilt and moral weakness, but they also mirror to an extent the way body policing techniques in Christianity have historically helped to cultivate self-care. The self-breaking and self-making aspects of women's Syn-watching practices in the group continue certain features of historical Christianity, serving in similar ways to conform women's bodies to patriarchal norms while providing opportunities for women's self-development. Taking into account these tensions, Bacon asks what a specifically feminist theological response to weight loss might look like. If ideas about sin and salvation service hegemonic discourses about fat while also empowering women to shape their own lives, how might they be rethought to challenge fat phobia and the frenetic pursuit of thinness? As well as naming as 'sin' principles and practices which diminish women's appetites and bodies, this book forwards a number of proposals about how salvation might be performed in our everyday eating habits and through the cultivation of fat pride. It takes seriously the conviction of many women in the group that food and the body can be important sites of power, wisdom and transformation, but channels this insight into the construction of theologies that resist rather than reproduce thin privilege and size-ist norms.

Stop Apologising and Start Living: A Journey to Self-Acceptance
Author: Gaurav Garg
Publisher: Gaurav Garg
ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
Well, hello there, brave soul. Fancy meeting you here, in the pages of a book about living unapologetically. I'm guessing you, like me, have spent far too much of your life saying "sorry" for things that don't warrant an apology. Things like existing, having opinions, or *gasp* taking up space in this vast, crazy world of ours. Let me tell you a secret: I never meant to write this book. In fact, I almost apologized to my publisher for pitching it. Ironic, isn't it? But here's the thing – that moment, that almost-apology, was the very reason I knew this book needed to exist. You see, I'm a reformed apologizer. A recovered sorry-aholic, if you will. I used to apologize for everything – for being too tall, for being too ambitious, for wanting more out of life than what was handed to me. I even apologized to a chair once when I bumped into it. (Yes, really. No, the chair didn't accept my apology. Rude.) But one day, something snapped. Maybe it was the time I apologized for getting promoted, or when I said sorry for winning an award. Whatever it was, I realized I was diminishing my own light, shrinking myself to make others comfortable. And so began my journey towards unapologetic living. It wasn't easy. There were stumbles, backslides, and moments where I found myself apologizing for not apologizing. But slowly, surely, I began to stand tall (all 5'11" of me), to speak my mind, and to live life on my own terms. This book is the culmination of that journey. It's part self-help guide, part personal narrative, and part kick in the pants for anyone who's ever felt they needed permission to be themselves. Fair warning: this isn't your typical self-help book. You won't find any promises of overnight transformation or secret formulas for success. What you will find is honesty, humor, and a healthy dose of tough love. Oh, and probably a few typos – because I refuse to apologize for being imperfectly human. In these pages, we'll explore why we apologize so damn much, how to stop, and what life looks like on the other side of "sorry". We'll laugh (mostly at my expense), we might cry (no judgment), and we'll definitely challenge some deeply ingrained beliefs about our place in the world. So, if you're ready to ditch the unnecessary apologies, to stand in your power, and to live life unapologetically, then buckle up, buttercup. It's going to be one hell of a ride. And remember: you have nothing to apologize for.
