Freedom from Emotional Eating, Food & Weight Obsession

Weight Stigma, Serial Killers, and Fat People. Really?; Why We Need Weight Stigma Awareness Week!

I was watching a documentary recently that included survey results of people who participate in online dating. Women said their #1 fear is that they’ll meet a serial killer. Men’s #1 fear is that they’ll meet someone who is fat. Really?

Clearly, and unfortunately, weight stigma is alive and well in our world! That’s why I’m pleased to be a “Featured Blogger” in BEDA’s annual “Weight Stigma Awareness Week” September 23-17, 2013. Click here to read my article, Where There’s Weight Stigma, “Weight” and “Health” Get All Mixed Up!

A full week of online activities begin today on Facebook and on the BEDA Website.

About Ellen Shuman

Ellen on the phone

I have worked in the Wellness Field for 30 years. I created an Emotional Eating & Binge Eating Disorder Recovery Program way before most people knew BED was an eating disorder, NOT a “willpower” issue. Personally, I suffered for years before finding answers and the help I needed and deserved! I became a Coach in 1997 to help others who were still suffering as I had. I love being a Coach!
