In today’s world, weight bias refers to the reaction people in our culture have about “overweight” people. Beyond the obvious objection to how we define “overweight”—the number on a scale, a BMI number, the number indicating a pants size—is the connotation assigned to the term.  As the word “bias” implies, that reaction is usually negative.

Furthermore, as you may be on the path to lead a healthier lifestyle (losing weight as a part of this equation) you may be shaming yourself as well.

You may know that genetics and environment play a part of having a heavier body shape.

 

What I want you to know is that learning environmental coaching from my Body Knowledge System ® will greatly increase your education around improving your lifestyle choice.

Client Experience:
A client of mine wanted to begin exercising but because of fat shaming, going to a public gym was not going to happen. So, coaching with my Body Knowledge System ®  WE created new environments in her home (playing DVD’s in living room) and out in nature (taking walks).  Both these environments created the privacy she could thrive in.

My personal experience with weight bias
Judging others when their weight is out of control may be what all of us do at one time or another.  To my amazement as I have grown into my own body knowledge and body confidence, I realize body weight comes in all shapes and sizes.

As I walk down the street and view all of these body shapes, I feel more body confidence in that all shapes are created equal. I appreciate the different shapes and I appreciate my own body shape.
No more shaming. My body confidence soars and I am truly BFF with my body and admire other’s body intelligence and my own.

===============================

When I see a body shape that is different from myself, I honor my shape and theirs.

Confidence, body confidence, can help everyone get past weight bias personally and professionally. When one person expresses body confidence, it’s contagious. Others feel emboldened to discover their own body confidence and share the acceptance of others’ differences to eliminate any kind of shaming for any reason.
