This sign is the first thing you see in our #obesity medicine workroom. It’s beyond time to change how we talk about obesity. It does not define a person. It does not determine a person’s worth. Obesity is a #chronic disease and should be treated as such #MedTwitter #weightbias
Most barriers to evidence based #Obesity Care have their origins in weight bias & stigma - anything I haven’t included (see thread)?

Medication shortages have caused huge stress as well as an increase in the blame & shame that people living with obesity are facing in healthcare settings & pharmacies
People should NEVER be stigmatised for seeking treatment that improves health 🤬
