Obesity Matters is a Canadian not-for-profit whose Mission is to bring Hope and Empower Canadians affected by Obesity through Education, Community and Advocacy. We are individuals just like you... who have lived with ‘overweight’ and obesity. We have experienced weight bias, fallen into diet traps and unrealistic goals set out by the fitness industries in the quest for being accepted by society. Now, we want to empower you, allow you to share your thoughts, reduce the feelings of isolation and frustration and provide credible resources. At Obesity Matters we want to build a community where we can come together to find ongoing support through forums and conversations, share personal stories and connect with others who have similar goals and challenges. By joining forces we hope to drive change to our personal health journeys as well as yours. Join our community and together let us inspire Hope through Action
