This is a deck of 12 cards with common weight-bias phrases and ready-to-use responses. Use it to prepare for body comments, practice what to say, and support yourself or others in the moment.
How to use:
- Pick a card that matches a situation you know or expect (family gatherings, work, social media, your own inner voice).
- Read the “Why this causes harm” side to name what is happening.
- Choose one response from the “How to respond” side that fits your energy and relationship.
- Practice it out loud, write it down, or keep it in your notes so it is easier to recall when you need it.
- Use the cards alone, with a friend, or in a group to role‑play responses and share what feels realistic.
- Always protect your peace and opt out of body talk if that is not something you feel ready to tackle in the moment.
