It finally happened – I was fat shamed by a fellow passenger on a plane. Fat shaming = negative, harmful comments about body size. It happens everywhere – hospitals, workplaces, gyms, planes. It shouldn’t. Not to me, not to anyone. Ever. #WeightStigma #FatPhobia #Inclusion

And that’s a wrap on #WiSEAN2025 - I am so pleased I had the chance to attend and present at my very first @wisean.bsky.social conference 🙏🏻 It was particularly great to see such a heavy focus on the psychosocial factors that contribute to athletes’ experiences in sport (including #BodyImage 😉)
