International No Diet Day was started in 1991 by Mary Evans Young, director of the British Group "Diet Breakers".
There are several goals to the INDD:
Doubt the idea of one "right" body shape.
Raise awareness to weight discrimination, size bias and fatphobia.
Declare a free day from diets and obsessions to body weight.
Present the facts about the diet industry, emphasizing the inefficacy of commercial diets.
Show how diets perpetuate violence against women.
Honor the victims of eating disorders and weight-loss surgery.
Help end weight discrimination, sizism and fatphobia
