International No Diet Day (INDD) was started in the UK in 1992 by Mary Evans Young, a feminist and former anorexia sufferer.
It was established as a response to the unrealistic standards of beauty perpetuated by the diet industry and media and aims to promote body positivity.
The first INDD was observed on May 6, 1992, and has since been celebrated annually on the same date.
This day serves as a reminder to embrace diverse body shapes and sizes, challenging societal pressures to conform to unrealistic beauty standards. It encourages individuals to accept and love their bodies as they are, promoting self-confidence and mental well-being.
