Can You Tell Anything at All by a Person's Weight?

Can You Tell Anything at All by a Person's Weight?
By Deb Burgard, PhD 
If you have grown up in this culture, you probably associate quite a few things with fatness and quite a few of the opposite traits with thinness. Almost every audience comes up with the same lists:

Fat: 
  • Lazy
  • Depressed
  • Sick
  • Out of control
  • LoserBad

Thin:
  • Productive
  • Confident
  • Healthy
  • Disciplined
  • Sexy
  • Good

Even though these associations are not something people from other cultures (or other times in history) believe, they are so strong and unquestioned in our own time that they form the basis of our weight stereotyping, bias, and stigma.
