===Second wave=== In the second wave, the fat acceptance movement became more widespread in the US and started to spread to other countries. Ideas from the movement began to appear in the mainstream. Publishers became more willing to publish fat acceptance themed literature. The 1980s witnessed an increase in activist organizations, publications, and conferences.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=From New York to Instagram: The history of the body positivity movement |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z2w7dp3 |access-date=2021-03-29 |website=BBC Bitesize |language=en-GB}}</ref> In 1989, a group of people including actress Anne Zamberlan formed the first French organization for fat acceptance, ''Allegro fortissimo''. Organizations began holding conferences and conventions, including [[NAAFA]]. By the 1990s, input from the fat acceptance movement began to be incorporated into research papers by some members of the medical professions such as new anti-dieting programs and models of [[obesity]] management.<ref name="ifonly">{{cite journal |doi=10.1037/0735-7028.27.2.175 |title=The "If Only I Were Thin..."
