Wearables, technological devices for promoting health, physical activity, and weight control, have become increasingly popular. However, debates are ongoing in popular and academic settings regarding their health potential and implications. This article contributes to these conversations, offering a reflexive, collaborative exploration into the experiences of four critical health scholars using wearable technology (Fitbits). Using biopedagogies, the authors explore their experiences with body-size, fatness, and physical activity in relation to healthist and dominant “obesity” discourses. The authors contend this approach could support educators to facilitate understanding of power and knowledge dynamics that infuse new media and reinforce weight stigma, fatphobia, and bullying.
