Australia Talks National Survey 2021 results reveal 60 per cent of Australians say they are currently trying to lose weight, and that majority was consistent across age, gender, income, where you live, education, ancestry and voting preferences.

Jen Bray spent years of her life on diets, but these days she isn't trying to lose weight — and that puts her in the minority.More people agree than disagree that they are trying to lose weight across all demographics

In fact, more people agree than disagree with this statement across all demographics — age, gender, income, region, education, ancestry and voting preference. "The more weight I lost, the more attention I got, the better people saw me — society saw me — but the worse I felt," she said. "I've slowly gotten better and now I follow so many accounts on Instagram of beautiful fat people enjoying life, and the more fat people I'm exposed to, and see that they are living and loving and enjoying themselves fat, has slowly changed the way I think."

"The fact that everybody wants to lose weight tells you something about social norms, obviously around losing weight, but more generally the idea that being overweight is seen as undesirable," he said.

In the article this stupid woman says that bread and cheese aren't bad foods. Uhh, they are if your goal is to loose weight. Dumb pig is doomed.

Well bully for her

Thanks for providing this essential news.

If you choose to be a fatty, please don't be seen in public as we have a right to live without visual pollution.

Looks is a matter of personal opinion but known medical fact overweight is not good for health. I'd rather be healthy and active

The farch! WTF has happened to ABC News. I know. It’s Gav and Ita.

I understand that losing weight is not always healthy, HOWEVER, for some people saying Im trying to lose weight also means im trying to be healthier. People thinking that being overweight is alright is not a great role model for the future generations.

ok
