Couch to Active

For our August 2020 Planning:

1. Identify barriers to exercise and make a plan.

2. Write down one exercise goal for August.

3. Write down one food goal for August.

We will be revisiting these throughout the month of August.

Medical Journal Article by Lauren Vogel

Lauren Vogel article quotes:

The more people are exposed to weight bias and discrimination, the more likely they are to gain weight and become obese, even if they were thin to begin with. They're also more likely to die from any cause, regardless of their body mass index (BMI).

Fat shaming is also linked to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, eating disorders and exercise avoidance, Alberga said. There's emerging evidence that the severity of harm increases when people internalize weight bias and turn it on themselves. In one study, participants with high levels of internalization of weight-bias had three times greater odds of having metabolic syndrome than those with low levels, even after controlling for BMI and other risk factors.
