status quo body negativity seems more behaviorally and emotionally regulatory? if you look like X you should feel morally, personally, and physically inadequate, and therefore compelled to change yourself body pos is undoing the idea that the body is an object of control

agree that the status quo is awful, esp for women. But I think it’s ok to regard the body as an object of control, and a lot of people do that & always will (while being pressured to pretend to love their body in a society that treats you v differently based on bodily appearance)

This might be true in some cases but body positivity extends to conditions past those that can be changed behaviorally. People can't choose to behaviorally regulate height/medical conditions/aging.

I don’t see how that contradicts the original tweet? If you can’t behaviorally regulate, you choose to emotionally regulate.

I agree with you that body positivity has overstepped. We don’t want to be proud about having diseases that will shorten our lives. The behavior regulation piece is well supported by social stigmas since forever. There’s increasing medical evidence to contradict it though.

Hypothetically, let’s say I have obesity because of insulin resistance, but behaviorally I’m regulated. I can chose to emotionally regulate or not, but either way I still have obesity, and not because I chose emotional regulation over behavioral.

Question: Isn't it often the case that better emotional regulation improves behavioral regulation? Esp in volatile systems characterized by positive feedback loops (e.g. shame/helplessness-->overeating-->shame/helplessness)

Not sure if a good study, but something like this logic: "Poor emotion regulation among adolescents has also been associated with more rapid weight gain and greater BMI."https://grantome.com/grant/NIH/R21-DK108164-01A1 …
