This morning, in the Self Care Corner we continue our series with breakfreeobesity.co.za , exploring the various aspects of obesity and weight-loss management. Our focus is on “The Hidden Impact of Weight Stigma”: the judgement, stereotypes and assumptions that people living with obesity can face.

How do we recognise weight stigma in everyday conversations, and where is the line between expressing concern and making someone feel judged? 

Joining us is specialist physician Dr Angela Murphy, whose areas of interest include endocrinology, diabetes and obesity.
