I learned so much and received a ton of good information. I felt like a failure for all of my life for thinking that my inability to lose weight was my fault. This event made me realize that my obesity was never within my control and it’s ok to need help managing it.

There are people out there who are thinking like you think, you just may not know it yet. Being able to hear some of those messages and learn from each other as well as the health experts [at YWM Convention], I think it's the biggest gift. There's probably something you're going to connect to, and it will be life-changing.

I learned so much about obesity, and how much advocating for yourself helps you and can potentially help someone else.

I liked that the conference was flexible and available to students, educators, and the overall public during the weekend. The material presented was incredibly insightful and an excellent resource for those interested in learning more about why their weight matters.
