In 1992, Mary Evans Young, a British anti-diet leader and director of Diet Breaker sent out a press release titled Fat Woman Fight Back. Surprisingly, that caught the media’s attention. And that lead toward a national and global campaign to stop unhealthy eating habits and having negative self-image. According to Young, people should start accepting their own body size and celebrate it.
