Welcome to Weight Stigma Awareness week and my monthly blog post for the FFF website is the place to go to read my thoughts about how language contributes to weight stigma.
No Ifs, Ands, or Buts. Dr.
Deah kicks off Weight Stigma Awareness Week by teaching us that it's not the size of your But that matters, BUT how you use it.
I welcome all comments on the post!
Til next time!
