Chew On It

Ep 4: Overcoming Weight Bias/ Weight Stigma

10 Apr 2022

Description

"I'll be happy when I'm skinnier"  "There's something wrong with me/my body because I'm not in the Normal BMI range” "X person is perfect/healthy/happy because they're thin, they must have something that I don't" "I should lose weight to get healthy" If you catch yourself thinking the above statements often, you're likely a victim of weight bias. In this episode we explore how weight bias shows up in our day-to-day lives, especially in healthcare settings. There is no direct answer to overcoming weight bias, but there are definitely things you can start doing now to make a difference in your life and the lives of others. We are ALL, as a society, trying to unlearn and challenge weight bias/weight stigma, so join us in this episode as a part of that journey!
