Fat as unhealthy, gross 00:36:15 Ameerah Mukayed: Yes, I use 'fat' as a descriptor for myself. 00:36:26 Sara Zahn: Not beautiful 00:36:29 Corinne Wolcott: SAd 00:36:52 Corinne Wolcott: Also "fat cat" as fancy 00:36:53 Sara Zettervall: I use fat for myself, but it took me a decade to feel ok about it 00:37:23 Corinne Wolcott: Rubenesque too 00:37:24 Chiquita Bryant: I have never called myself Fat because I am active 00:37:47 Sara Zettervall: I’m fat and active! 00:37:53 Jennifer Polci: yes, i’ve called myself fat 00:38:30 Gwendolyn Gmeinder: yes i have 00:39:30 Jess Rhoades: To those who haven't realized, click the Q&A button to answer the poll. 00:41:12 Brea Turner: is that the preferred term? 00:41:36 Aaron Monson: Hi Everyone! We will leave time for Q&A at the end, but we are tracking questions throughout the webinar to address later. Thanks! :-) 00:41:59 Sara Zettervall: I 100% had that same person in elementary school. 00:46:16 Jess Rhoades: LOVE Roxane Gay! 01:00:22 Karin Brown: I'd like to say that I admire your bravery in sharing your story! 01:00:35 Sara Zettervall: Well I don’t know what’s coming, so it’s hard to know what to ask :-) 01:02:47 Victoria Ford: BTW the video is really choppy. The audio is fine but the video isn't really watchable. 01:02:57 Victoria Ford: (for me) 01:03:24 Jess Rhoades: The audio is the most important part, at least! 01:05:22 spencer: what is the difference between “overweight” and “obese”? 01:05:29 Victoria Ford: Wow -- obesity is as strongly genetically determined as height! 01:05:47 Aaron Monson: Thank you for all the great questions! I am tracking all of them so that they can be addressed at the end of the webinar in the order they are received. 01:05:56 Sara Zettervall: Yes and no 01:06:15 Victoria Ford: Definitions: https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/adult/defining.html 01:06:19 Sara Zettervall: For example, repeat yoyo dieting has been shown to increase set point 01:06:59 Victoria Ford: (Basically "overweight" and "obese" are descriptions for Body Mass Indexes over "normal") 01:07:10 Heather Hansen: It's a factor. :) 01:07:23 Victoria Ford: What's a factor? 01:08:19 Heather Hansen: Something that should be taken into consideration when looking at a situation. 01:08:55 Heather Hansen: I was referring to the Spring Theory not your comment. 01:09:06 Victoria Ford: No, I mean, what are you referring to when you said "it's a factor"? 01:09:23 Victoria Ford: Got it. 01:09:37 Sara Zettervall: OMG HEADLESS BODIES they need to NOT do those stock video clips 01:12:04 Ben Rue: Please make sure you select "All panelists and attendees" when using the chat. 01:12:13 Christine Schmidt: Sara - I agree. Was noticing that. 01:13:22 Krista Webb: Whoops I am sending this again to all....This happens with Leptin Resistence too 01:17:31 Chiquita Bryant: Yes 01:17:36 Mindy Clesas: Yes 01:17:37 Shawn Sorrell: yes 01:17:37 Ameerah Mukayed: yes 01:17:37 Kathleen Gordon: Yes 01:17:38 Jess Rhoades: YES! 01:17:39 Sara Simpson: yes 01:17:40 Heather Hansen: Yes :) 01:17:42 Gwendolyn Gmeinder: yes 01:17:45 Darcy Schumann: yes 01:17:52 Jolene Thibedeau Boyd: yes 01:18:03 Victoria Ford: Isn't it interesting though that our empathy depends on being reassured that obesity isn't someone's "fault"? 01:18:59 Amber Richardson: That's how I feel - I was inclined to say "No," because even if that were not true, I still would hope I've got empathy for people overall? 01:19:06 Betsy Hearn: I think my personal fear about being obese drives my critical feelings - I'm trying to distance myself from something I'm afraid of 01:19:27 Jess Rhoades: Same - I grew up with intense pressure from my family to remain thin 01:19:37 Tiffany Capeles: to add on to victoria's comment...it is interesting that science is needed to envoke empathy. 01:19:46 Jamie Burch Elliott: Yikes This took a stimatizing turn! 01:19:53 Victoria Ford: ^^^ Betsy, I think fear is behind a LOT of animosity (not just toward fat people). 01:20:03 Sara Simpson: that struck me too, victoria. I feel at heart that we should have empathy either way. But i too have critical thoughts, towards others and myself 01:20:11 Krista Webb: I think no matter what, people will still blame the person becasue there will always be stories of the person that was obese and "lost all the weight" 01:20:37 Victoria Ford: We hate what we fear, because it reminds us of our fundamental lack of control. 01:20:48 Sara Zettervall: I’d like to add recent research showing that gut bacteria are a factor as well. 01:23:31 Victoria Ford: Lisa, do you have data on fat men? I believe the last research I've read shows a MUCH larger impact (of size on earnings) for women than for men. 01:23:39 Victoria Ford: (And higher still for women of color.) 01:25:45 Chiquita Bryant: Yes, BMI and body fat % do not always agree 01:25:52 Amber Richardson: That is something I have never considered and Wow is that so true 01:25:58 Amber Richardson: That loophole 01:27:08 Sara Zettervall: Ursula. :-/ 01:27:13 Terri Warren: that mde me laugh 01:27:41 Kathleen Gordon: I find it helpful to have a person of size on hiring committees when I'm hiring for a position. 01:29:21 Aaron Monson: ALL - if you have to jump off the webinar because you hvae a hard stop at 12, the CEU Codes for this webinar are: SHRM 19-2FFTk HRCI 390393 01:30:07 Ameerah Mukayed: Thanks very much for sharing your expertise! 01:30:24 Victoria Ford: Cancel my question about data on fat men and earnings -- she addressed it 01:30:30 Brea Turner: Can you explain the term "of size" and if that's preferred? 01:30:45 Sara Zettervall: How do you address work “health” programs that include weight loss as a measure of success for financial discounts? 01:31:57 Krista Webb: In the health environment I would like to see Fitness Coaches that are also "not thin" 01:32:03 Sara Zettervall: There are starting to be more resources for fat people to exercise together and avoid that persistent gaze. 01:34:37 Aaron Monson: ALL - if you have to jump off the webinar because you hvae a hard stop at 12, the CEU Codes for this webinar are: SHRM 19-2FFTk HRCI 390393 01:35:14 Kathleen Gordon: Thanks very much. Good information for all of us to think about. 01:36:12 Tiffany Capeles: Any thoughts for employers....more and more employers are becoming self-insured, and focusing on wellness to decrease the risk of paying out on medial claims related to health issues. To address persons of size in a discrimination policy, what guidance would you offer when talking to executives who are also thinking about the health care costs associated with complications, such as hypertension and diabetes that commonly come with persons of size. 01:38:37 Sheila Murphy: What about the term "heavier"? i.e. say you're trying to describe someone to someone else "she has dark hair, is on the heavier side..."? That's technically a descriptor but I don't know if that's rude... 01:41:25 Aaron Monson: CEU Codes for this webinar are: SHRM 19-2FFTk HRCI 390393 01:41:56 Sara Zettervall: Re: “heavier,” I’d say anything that implies deviance from the norm, and any term that makes that comparison overtly or covertly can be insulting. 01:42:43 Sheila Murphy: Sara, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for your perspective. :) 01:43:43 Sara Zettervall: Well health care expenses—they keep encouraging bariatric surgery and YEAH that’s expensive 01:44:17 Shawn Sorrell: Would having a physical impairment due to size qualify as a protected class? 01:44:18 Megan Brodie: Do you know of any national initiatives to make size and/or appearance a protected class when it comes to non-discriminatory HR policies? 01:45:58 Amber Richardson: Oh wow. 01:47:00 Amber Richardson: Thank you Lisa! Thank you very much! 01:47:15 Tiffany Capeles: Can I get a copy of this and the chat? 01:47:22 Sara Simpson: Thank you for presenting this! 01:48:06 Aaron Monson: CEU Codes for this webinar are: SHRM 19-2FFTk HRCI 390393 01:50:03 Lisa Love: llove@tpt.org
