Everyone has days that are tougher than others, but remember that recovery isn’t linear.
You might feel like you’ve lost progress if you find yourself having a challenging moment, but remember that you’ve already learned so much. Moving forward and caring for yourself along the way is what matters.

You are not “too much,” and you and your presence are needed. It’s okay to take up space and be seen. It’s only through embracing our whole selves that we find true freedom.

Every person’s path to healing will be unique to them.
The ups, downs, and everything in between can be embraced instead of shamed.
Your story of recovery is yours to experience, and that’s what makes it powerful.

Weight Stigma Awareness Week was
Co-founded by Chevese Turner @cheveseturner of the Body Equity Alliance and Dr. Wendy Oliver-Pyatt @wendyoliverpyatt.md of Within Health, Weight Stigma Awareness Week is a free annual event focused on educating and empowering people to challenge harmful anti-fatness in our society. These biases are often rooted in racism, shame, and discrimination against body shape and size.
The event will feature a series of daily educational sessions and workshops led by renowned experts who are committed to fighting weight stigma and anti-fat bias. Topics will include mental health, marginalization, intersectionality, social media, disability, policy, and more. By participating and raising awareness, you can help fight weight stigma and create a more inclusive world. @weightstigmaawareness
