Fat shaming can lead to a host of health problems

"The study authors said obese people are often viewed as lazy, lacking willpower, incompetent, unattractive, and to blame for their excess weight.

This leaves them feeling stigmatized. Previous research has linked feeling stigmatized about weight to weight gain and emotional distress. The new study suggests it’s not just the stigmatizing, but also the level of a person’s reaction to fat-shaming that can impair health."
