Is Weight Bias Silently Harming Your Loved Ones?

Over 40% of U.S. adults experience weight stigma. Let’s explore what this means and why it matters.

Weight stigma is everywhere, and its impact is real.

Weight stigma, or ‘weight bias,’ refers to being judged or treated differently because of one’s weight. From subtle remarks to workplace discrimination and biased health care, it often goes unnoticed. But its lasting effects — such as depression, low self-esteem and eating disorders — can’t be ignored. At Eating Recovery Center (ERC), we’re here to help you understand weight bias and what you can do to combat it.
