Unpacking Internalised Weight Bias: What It Means. This video delves into the concept of internalised weight bias, exploring its meaning, implications, and effects on individuals and society. We discuss how internalised weight bias can lead to self-stigma, low self-esteem, and negative body image, and examine the ways in which it is perpetuated by cultural and societal norms. By understanding internalised weight bias, we can work towards promoting body positivity, self-acceptance, and a more inclusive and compassionate environment for people of all shapes and sizes. Join us as we unpack this important topic and strive for a more nuanced understanding of its complexities.
