TAKE THE PLEDGE. SAVE LIVES.
At WithAll, we are all too familiar with the devastating consequences of eating disorders. With 70% of girls and 40% of boys reporting body dissatisfaction, there is no better time for you to make a positive impact on the kids in your life.
That’s why we started the What to Say initiative.
What to Say is dedicated to equipping adults with simple tools to help kids develop healthy relationships with food and body. It starts with a 30-second pledge: to stop diet and weight talk. From there, you’ll receive ongoing resources for how to replace diet and weight talk and be an advocate for the kids in your life.
What to Say works. In fact, pledge signers have found a 87% positive change in their behaviors and words. This means that more kids have a chance to grow up free of disordered eating and thinking.

JOIN OTHERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD IN PLEDGING TO STOP DIET AND WEIGHT TALK
See why hundreds of others have joined us on our mission to stop diet and weight talk and support the health of the kids in their lives.
“[I signed the pledge] so my son grows up having a healthier relationship with food than my husband and I did.” – Vanessa, Parent.
“[I signed the pledge because] implanting diet culture at a very young age has detrimental effects on how individuals grow up to view their bodies. Children should be taught to love themselves, not [taught] to try and change into an unrealistic idea of perfection.”
“[I signed the pledge because] I have a daughter and want her to grow up knowing that there are no bad foods and all sizes and shapes of bodies can be healthy.”
“As a Queer person, I know the power words have on how we see ourselves; how we love ourselves; and how we treat ourselves. I became an Ambassador to challenge and encourage others to challenge diet and weight narratives that show up in academic environments.”
“I’m taking the pledge because I am my own worst enemy (as a result of growing up plus-sized in a world that wasn’t accepting yet). My students are my biggest fans. I would never talk to them in the negative way that I talk to myself.”
