According to Alberga, studies have shown that exposing a person to weight bias triggers physiological and behavioral changes that are linked to poor metabolic health and increased weight gain.

Your weight isn’t the only important thing when it comes to fitness, but too much of it increases your risk of developing serious diseases
That being said, it is absolutely vital to develop healthy habits and stick to them. Being overweight or obese has a huge effect on the quality of your life and drastically increases your risk of developing debilitating diseases.
According to the NHS, obesity increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, various cancers, stroke, and depression.
Your quality of life and self-esteem are likely to suffer, too. Day-to-day problems related to obesity include breathlessness, increased sweating, snoring, chronic exhaustion, difficulty doing physical activity, and joint and back pain. You’re also likely to have low confidence and may feel more isolated from other people as a result.
Obesity also increases your risk of developing high blood pressure, high cholesterol, asthma, metabolic syndrome, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, gallstones, reduced fertility, osteoarthritis, liver disease, kidney disease, and pregnancy complications.
