Challenging the “Ideal” Body - Bryan O. Rojas-Arauz<br>
Thursday, February 20<br>
2:00-2:50pm<br>
Duck Nest<br>
<br>
We live in a society in which physical appearance is held in high<br>
regard. Every day we can scroll and see our social media full of new<br>
health challenges, trending diets, or new life changing product. Women,<br>
and men, will go to extreme lengths to meet standards for youth and<br>
beauty. In our daily lives, we spend time, attention, and money, chasing<br>
unrealistic standards. Where do these standards come from? What is the<br>
cost of meeting them? And when does chasing an “ideal” body get in the<br>
way of living healthy lives? How can we prioritize our health while<br>
loving who we are not after a transformation, but for who we are today.<br>
These are some of the questions we will be covering. To this end, we<br>
will examine the overt and unspoken rules that dictate how we should<br>
look and feel in order to redefine what it means to be “healthy”. This<br>
workshop is part of All Sizes Fit programming and is free and open to UO<br>
students, faculty, and staff.<br>

ideal, and why BMI is not a good measure of health.<br>

Accepting and Loving Myself - Bryan O. Rojas-Arauz<br>
Thursday, February 27<br>
2:00-2:50pm<br>
Duck Nest<br>
<br>
Self-acceptance is one of our most difficult challenges, we live in a<br>
society in which beauty standards, and life expectations make it<br>
impossible to fully accept and love ourselves. In this workshop we will<br>
use mindfulness, to learn how we can truly embrace who we are. It seems<br>
all too easy to fall into the trap of judging ourselves as inadequate,<br>
finding fault with our achievements or our bodies, and believing our<br>
self-critical inner voices. In this workshop we will work on ways to<br>
better honor ourselves and who we are, explore what it means to love<br>
yourself, how to do it, and its benefits, as well as identifying the the<br>
importance of self-love in our lives. This workshop is part of All Sizes<br>
Fit programming and is free and open to UO students, faculty, and staff.<br>

More than Meets the Eye: Weight Stigma and Disordered Eating - Maggie Head<br>
Monday, March 2<br>
1:00-2:00pm<br>
Education 176<br>
<br>
This event is a discussion about the connections between weight stigma,<br>
diet culture, and disordered eating. These topics are often kept in the<br>
shadows while society bombards us with messages about how to eat and<br>
what we should look like. The discussion will close with resources and<br>
strategies for navigating these important issues. The discussion will be<br>
led by Maggie Head, a UO graduate student in Prevention Science.<br>
<br>
Food and drinks will be provided!<br>
<br>
<br>
To The Bone Movie Screening<br>
Tuesday, March 3<br>
6:30-9:00pm<br>
Lawrence 115<br>
<br>
In honor of All Sizes Fit, a campaign to promote positive body image and<br>
eating disorder awareness, join us in watching To the Bone. This film<br>
follows a young woman struggling with anorexia and her journey to to<br>
self-acceptance and recovery. After the film, we will open a<br>
conversation about topics discussed in the film.<br>
<br>
Men and Body Image - Bryan O. Rojas-Arauz<br>
Thursday, March 5<br>
2:00-2:50pm<br>
Duck Nest<br>
<br>
The way we view our bodies can have a significant impact on our<br>
self-identity. Due to social expectations and gender norms,<br>
male-identified students may be less likely to talk about their<br>
insecurities related to body image. This workshop will address factors<br>
that may contribute to perceptions of body image, discuss healthy eating<br>
habits, and provide students with positive coping strategies. This<br>
workshop is part of the Movember programming and All Sizes Fit.<br>
