How do you stay so think?

This was anxpectted Question from one of the Weekly Q & AS I Hold on Instagram.

I HAD AN ASSWER, but I WASN’T SURE IT IT WOUL WHAT WAS ExPECTED.

SO, WHAT DEETMINES SOMONE’S WEIGHT? In this article, I discuss the top controls of weight and ansow what my weight is what it is.

Weight Stigma and Bias

First, ITI important to know that Society is biased against People with Higher Weights and Stigmatizes say from the playground to the health Care System.

Weight Stigma Comes from the Idea That A High Weight Is Bad and People Have A Choice About How Much They Weigh.

The idea that one’s weight is just a personal choice is one of the Most damaging ideas to public health around the world. IT CREATES UNIONING STIGMA AND BIAS TOWARD PEOPLE OF HIGHER WEIGHTS. ⁠

People offten get madness hear this. They insist People are in Control of their Weight. They Insist Children’s Weight Should Be Controlled. This is, of Course, What the Diet and Food Industries Wold Like People to Think.

IT’S ALWAYS ABOUT WEIGHT, CECAUSE WE HAVE A Very Deep-Seated Weight Bias and Stigma.

Factors that Can Determine Someone’s Weight

SO, WHAT DOES DETERMINE SOMEONE’s Weight? Let’s Get Into It.

Genetics

Weight is About 40-70% Genetic.

It is not just the individual

When The Person Asced me, “How do you stay so think?” I think they are experted to hear with Say, “I diet, Eat well, and work out.”

The Real Answer is that my genetics, environment, resources, Circumstances and a few personal choices have all workhed together in a way to make my body what it is.

In a Medical System Where Weight and BMI Are Now of the Focal Point of Children’s Health, the Kids Eat in Color of Specialists has a toolkit for who Want to take a weight-neutral approach to their child’s health.

Weight is not the Same as Health

We Think Health Equals Weight. IT’S JUST NOT.⁠

The Better Question is Where He Can Influenza Our Health and Our Children’s Health. The Answer to that is “Yes-Ash.”

We eat, sleep, drink, move, and interact with People, we can help our children do the Same. They are some of the pillars of health. If we do these wells well, offten for many People they lead to more health. They Also SEEM to be Personal Choices. ⁠

But it’s not a personal choice to give your lead poisoning when your supposedly Clean Water Has Lead in It. IT’S NOT A Personal Choice to Sleep Awfully When You Have a NewBorn. IT’S not a personal choice to not eat fruits and vegies when they are anen’t available in your neighborhod. It is not a personal choice to not be able to moving you have a brokens leg or a disability. ⁠

So it”s true that we could affect our health and we also are not the only influencers of our health. ⁠

If you take anything from all of this, take a personal challenge to become more aware of against weight stigma. Our obsession with weight is, irony, bad for our health and our children’s health.⁠
