Bottom line? People of every size deserve dignity and respect. No one should ever be shamed or blamed about their body or their weight.

The truth about obesity that we know in our heads – that it’s a complex chronic disease – has not fully penetrated our hearts. Not yet, anyway. This is why we all need to do our part to stop weight bias.

All weight bias does is trap people in a spiral of shame and self-blame, neither of which works to address the very real, medical problem of obesity.

It’s taken me many years to attempt to reverse the adverse effects of weight bias. Now, I wake up every day to fight for a world where no child is made to feel bad about themselves for their weight.

I genuinely didn’t know what meaningful obesity care looked like because we’d never had access to it and we certainly didn’t have coverage for it.
