| #obsm chat @obsmchat @gu_girl Welcome! #obsm |

 | sir kent norton Golden Eagle Consultant @sirkentnorton You need to define what obesity is. You need to define morbid obesity and you also need to come up with the BMI and weight issues involved in simply overweight. I think this would help the discussion |

| Paul Davidson, PhD @PaulDavidsonPhD Q1. I am a behavioral provider who has had struggles with weight since childhood & affected family members.

| #obsm chat @obsmchat @ObesityAction Welcome to the chat! Thank you for all you do #obsm |
| Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp A1: I’ve had a relationship with obesity since I was teenager. I feel it’s part genetics and environmental triggers for me. #obsm |

 | Angie @tink_rise_grind @obsmchat #obsm myself, I have pcos and when I was in my early 20s doctors kept putting my birth control with high mail hormone content. I gained 25 pounds a month. Then PCOS became a big issue and no one explained it until I was 300 pound...(Part 1) |
| Michelle Vicari @Eggface I am a person affected by obesity. I am an advocate and activist for access to care and I fight to end weight bias and stigma #OACAction #obsm |
| Laurel Ann Kameleonalani Whitlock 🐊🌺🌈 @twirlandswirl T1 I am obese. I have been pretty much all my life. My elementary school bully's nickname for me was "Free Willy." I've lost large amounts of weight before (40 pounds once, and then 50 another time) and it's always come back. #obsm |
| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel @Eggface Thank you, doing this right after the #obsm chat! |

| Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp @NewTriHealth @obsmchat What medication? #obsm |
| Angie @tink_rise_grind @obsmchat #obsm (part 2) I ate less then 1200 calories and was active with small children and work...still gained weight. The doctors told me to eat less and exercise more. I then went down to 600 cals a day. This just caused the world of yo to adding 5 pounds to the highest weight. |
| Laurel Ann Kameleonalani Whitlock 🐊🌺🌈 @twirlandswirl T1 It definitely runs in my family, even though we're all active and fairly athletic. We can all LOSE weight by using extreme diets or exercise, but the second we resume a normal diet or activity level, we put the weight back on. #obsm |

 | Maureen Miletics, RN @MMileticsRNcbn @obsmchat #obsm I have been working with the disease of obesity for 16 years now. I do have some family members affected but my concern is driven by what I have learned over all these years like stopping the blame and getting insurance coverage |

| Laurel Ann Kameleonalani Whitlock 🐊🌺🌈 @twirlandswirl T1 I am definitely a comfort eater, too. In some ways, my disposition to obesity feeds into it. I feel like if I'm fat, anyway, I may as well comfort myself with food. If I eat well and still gain weight and get teased or mocked, may as well eat the cookies. #obsm |
| Paul Davidson, PhD @PaulDavidsonPhD Weight bias is found everywhere, and I've had to deal with criticism as a result. Education and advocacy are two great ways to fight bias.

| Laurel Ann Kameleonalani Whitlock 🐊🌺🌈 @twirlandswirl @obsmchat I've gotten it all my life, and I know I'm not alone. As an adult, my response to other adults has started to become "I'm married, are you?" The answer has never been "yes." (Not that marriage it at all the sole meter of success.) #obsm |
| Deborah Greenhouse @greenhousemd @PsychoDietitian @obsmchat @WtMgmtDPG @ASMBSIH @ObesityAction @AmerAcadPeds Brainstorming in my head. Focus of this summer's QTIP learning collaborative is adolescent health (and asthma). Wonder if I can get a brief update on #BariatricSurgery on the agenda? Great way to get the word out to SC pediatricians. #obsm |
| Patty Nece @pattynece This is a great article. Thanks for sharing @PaulDavidsonPhD. #obsm |
 | LeeAnn Kindness, MS, NDTR @LeeAnnKindness A2: Help end weight bias and stigma. Educate ourselves. Educate others. Listen to those affected. Listen to the advocates. Join @ObesityAction |
| Fernanda Arce-Amaré @FerArceAmare @obsmchat A2. I think currently a lot of NGOs, like @WorkdObesity, have provided a lot of resources like photo libraries and key messages to help avoid bias while marketing the disease #OBSM |

| Laurel Ann Kameleonalani Whitlock 🐊🌺🌈 @twirlandswirl T2 The first time I really ran into this is when I applied to work at Blockbuster as a teenager (ancient times). I never heard back. I found out later it was their policy not to hire overweight employees because of the "overweight, lazy, movies-on-the-couch" stereotype." #obsm |

| Neil Floch MD @NeilFlochMD RT @PsychoDietitian: @obsmchat #obsm A2 - as a dietitian working in the field of obesity, I've always found there is a very narrow range where you don't have comments about your weight, too 'big' and you don't know what you are talking about, too 'small' and you don't understand... #shame on both sides |
| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel @anders_stacey @obsmchat I hear this so often from my clients. It so sad to hear how different people are treated. #obsm |
| Neil Floch MD @NeilFlochMD RT @twirlandswirl: T2 The first time I really ran into this is when I applied to work at Blockbuster as a teenager (ancient times). I never heard back. I found out later it was their policy not to hire overweight employees because of the "overweight, lazy, movies-on-the-couch" stereotype." #obsm |

| Laurel Ann Kameleonalani Whitlock 🐊🌺🌈 @twirlandswirl T2 One thing I've done personally to fight stigma as well as own my own narrative is openly call myself fat, often. And not in a deprecating way. In a matter-of-fact way. Because, well, I am. Friends always want to be like, "oh, no! You're not fat!" #obsm |
| Neil Floch MD @NeilFlochMD RT @twirlandswirl: T1 I am definitely a comfort eater, too. In some ways, my disposition to obesity feeds into it. I feel like if I'm fat, anyway, I may as well comfort myself with food. If I eat well and still gain weight and get teased or mocked, may as well eat the cookies. #obsm |
| Laurel Ann Kameleonalani Whitlock 🐊🌺🌈 @twirlandswirl ...but I am. What you mean is, I'm not lazy, I'm not smelly or greasy, I work, I'm active. People consider these inherently co-occurring with fatness. They mean to say I'm a GOOD fat. I'm not. I'm just fat. All it means is... I'm fat. Full-stop. #obsm |
