Episode 285: Internalized Weight Stigma
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I doubt anyone listening to this podcast would argue that weight stigma, also called weight bias, or more crudely known as fat shaming, is wrong. Inexcusable. Not okay – no matter what. We collectively feel outrage about fat shaming on social media, in boardrooms or in the classrooms. What then, do you think about, and how do you feel about the internalized weight stigma, weight bias, fat shaming that takes place in your own head – about yourself. This episode will get you thinking about how you likely shame yourself about having a disease … and how you may even participate in stigmatizing others who have the disease of obesity. You’ll want to listen to every bit of this episode!
The Weight Loss Winformation Podcast gives you essential psychological information to help you lose weight and more importantly, to help keep you at a healthy weight for your body! No matter how you are working to lose weight and no matter how much weight you want to lose, Weight Loss Winformation will keep you moving in a positive direction.
