International No Diet Day — 6 May

International No Diet Day began with a woman who decided to fight back.

British feminist Mary Evans Young battled anorexia, body image issues, and bullying for years. In 1992, after seeing other women suffer a similar fate, she took action. Young invited her friends to wear “Ditch That Diet” stickers and fully embrace their bodies for a day.

She had no idea it would spark a global movement. On May 6, we put away our scales, wear our light blue ribbons, and simply enjoy who we are.
