January 25 and 26, 2002

College of DuPage 425 22nd Street Glen Ellyn, IL 60137-6599 (630) 942-2800

The current ideal, which is impossible for 99 percent of women in our country to attain, makes body-size acceptance a difficult process for all. Larger women, however, not only carry the shame of having nonconforming bodies but also face size discrimination on a daily basis.

Le mouvement de 'Size Acceptance' est un concepte nouveau en dehors des Etats Unis, ou l'idee qu'on peut etre fier et contente avec soi-meme n'importe son poids ou forme, a debute depuis plus de 25 ans.

On nous dit qu'il y a des parties qu'on devrait eliminer ou changer, il devrai etre en ligne avec les pensees des regimes, pillules ou meme les techniques chirugial, pour qu'il semble plus comme l'ideale qu'on voit sur l'ecran petit et dans les magazines et par consequant fait de nous des membres plus acceptables dans la race humaines.
