~ 0 B E S I T Y~ Some people use blame and shame in an attempt to motivate obese individuals to lose weight. Please understand this doesn’t work. Stigma doesn’t motivate people to make healthier choices and poses a serious threat to physical and psychological health. Rather than focusing solely on personal responsibility, let’s tackle the bigger issue and work on changing the obesity-promoting environment. Rather than lecturing people about exercise and weight loss, let’s emphasize more effective approaches such as Health at Every Size.
