I love the Fat Nutritionist!

As for size positivity, even though it's not a big thing in itself, I could have hugged my new endocrinologist when I asked him about osteoporosis risk (it's an issue with my thyroid problem) he referred to my weight and exercise in a positive way. He asked about my family history (every female relative on my mum's side has it) and asked about their body-type (short and very thin) in a completely non-judgemental way. It was surprisingly awesome (and sadly surprising!) to have a medical professional be straightforward and non-judgemental about two very different body types in the same minute in a conversation where weight was relevant.
