It is a damning indictment of society’s view of body weight that those with obesity feel shame in using effective medication #endweightstigma #obesityisnotachoice www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

These new obesity drugs work so well, that people physically change dramatically & quickly in the eyes of others. I found this piece interesting, as an indictment into society’s view on larger people #obesityisnotachoice #endweightstigma www.bbc.com/news/article...
