Today is day two of Weight Stigma Awareness Week. This link contains valuable information and tools for those wishing to participate or simply to educate themselves. What is weight stigma? How does it affect you? Your loved ones? Our nation? Our culture? The next generation? I challenge us all to look more closely, think more intentionally, and ask ourselves the hard questions related to how we, consciously or unconsciously, might assign judgment to ourselves and/or others based on weight. Something to consider: Did you know that not every higher-weight individual struggles with bingeing or overeating? A higher body weight can also be associated with certain metabolic and endocrine disorders, autoimmune diseases or the necessary usage of medications such as (some) mood stabilizers, antipsychotics or antidepressants, or certain heart medications.
