Weight and weight management are complex phenomena for many women in our society. There are multiple and conflicting discourses that limit how women are able to conceptualize their weight and therefore, themselves. This study explores how women in a "non-dieting" or "health at every size" weight management program at a Community Health Centre participate with and negotiate the dominant weight discourses of biomedicine and the dieting/beauty industries as well as the alternative discourses of feminism and size acceptance. Participant observation was used to collect data in the form of fieldnotes from the program sessions. Modified autoethnography was used to explore the program content, the understandings of weight that the women brought to the program, and the dynamics of the program sessions. This exploration revealed many inherent conundrums within the non-dieting paradigm; I offer suggestions to reframe the non-dieting approach to enable facilitators and participants to identify and overcome these challenges.
