Dear BBC Newsline - yet again I have to ask you to stop using these types of images. Showing 'headless' shots of people living with obesity just going about their day - it is dehumanising and drives weight stigma. And no-one is 'being obese' - same as no-one is being cancerous.

"I've learned more from them (ICPO) than any text book I've ever read" A fitting introduction for Deirdre Murphy, patient advocate, bringing the vital patient perspective to the discussion. An important reminder that lived experience must be at the heart of #obesitycare.
