I’m gonna need the ones defending the ppl who lose weight’s bodily autonomy to start also coming to the defense of fat ppl, esp larger fat ppl, who choose healing+radical acceptance. IWL criticism is far less concerning than the hate we get for going against the grain. #WeightStigma #HAES #FatLib

We have been discussing this for a few years and it is good to be working with excellent research leaders like Marilou Côté and Angela S. Alberga.This is not just an academic pursuit. Looking critically and pragmatically at what we do is essential #weightbias #weightstigma #weightdiscrimination

It finally happened – I was fat shamed by a fellow passenger on a plane.
Fat shaming = negative, harmful comments about body size.
It happens everywhere – hospitals, workplaces, gyms, planes.
It shouldn’t. Not to me, not to anyone. Ever.

Actor, Alison Fitzjohn on stage and smiling. There is text reading "A Weighty Issue" and sub text reading "This short film looks at the 'A Weighty Issue' project and performance. A one-woman theatre show exploring the ways in which weight stigma damages the health and wellbeing of those who experience it."
Weight stigma affects more than how we feel. It can harm our health and wellbeing.
A Weighty Issue is a short film about a powerful one-woman show that challenges how we think about weight.

Amidst nutrition stalls, Ozempic and weight management talks, and a multitude of physical activity and fitness exhibits, we were given a stage at #Elevate2025, the UK’s largest physical activity trade event, to speak about #WeightStigma in the fitness industry.
Thank you Elevate for having us! 👏🏻

Bariatric surgery can help people lose weight, but it can do something even more important -- reduce the weight stigma they experience. bit.ly/3ZwzmU6 #fatshaming @utah.edu #WeightStigma #bariatricsurgery #BariatricSupport #bariatricsurgery @healthpsychology.bsky.social

💐Friendly reminder that the BMI is total bullsh!t and a tool of oppression that is used to justify further discriminating against marginalized bodies 🌸

Stepping off the pursuit-of-weight-loss rollercoaster is so liberating, and allows people to focus on what really improves their health. 😊
#HAES #weightstigma
Latest episode [link in bio], discusses how almost all healthcare professionals now agree weight stigma is "bad", but for different reasons & offering different "solutions". Need to critique pathologization of bodies, not just stigmatization.

This systems analysis holds keys to how America might exit its current trajectory of rising #obesity and #chronicdisease rates. Our inability to prevent these problems comes down to a societal bias towards blaming individuals rather than the #ultraprocessed #foodindustry. #weightstigma

It's the 3rd day of #eatingdisordersawarenessweek and I thought it was time to address the role of #weightstigma in eating disorders.
Any one, in any size body and with any type of eating disorder has weight stigma to address as part of treatment and recovery.
