This thread has been moderated. While there is no shame in being higher weight or having a substance use disorder, conflating being higher-weight with substance use disorders is not evidence-based, is rooted in stereotypes about higher-weight people, and does a disservice to higher-weight people, to people with substance use disorders, and to higher-weight people with actual substance use disorders.

This was such a great read! It feels like the terms we use to describe ourselves are constantly changing. It can be confusing and this was incredibly helpful. Thanks for your work!
