It's pretty likely that if/when I find the time to write this week, it'll be related to weight stigma, fat shame, or thin privilege. In the meantime, bookmark the link to the Weight Stigma Awareness Week page, which is hosted by the Binge Eating Disorder Association, and check there daily for the live links to blogs and articles. Whether you find yourself nodding in agreement and understanding, or you think it's a load of hooey, it's worth reading some pretty educated, prolific, and opinionated pieces on the topics. Because the first step to fighting stigma is to acknowledge that bias exists and to understand how it affects us all.
