I have felt this a lot as someone who has always lived in a bigger body. I feel there is a very real unconscious bias in our health care when it comes to weight, in particular with women.

I have been dismissed often because of my weight. The assumption is I am unhealthy and lazy. I am the opposite. I live a very active and healthy lifestyle.

My cancer was almost missed because of this bias and if I wasn’t such a strong health care advocate for myself I shudder to think what would have happened to me.

Happy you are having this conversation. It is importance 💜

Really loved this, thank you! The compression pants you recommended are out of stock, do you know of any others? x
