Big Matters Obesity Information support

Hi and Welcome to Big Matters

Support, information and friendship.

What is Big Matters all about ?

Plus size, obesity and BBW are now words that are everyday part of daily life be in on TV in magazines or online. The reality is as a nation we are getting bigger. For some this may mean a stone or two overweight and for many others it can be a whole lot more. Whether you are happy with your size or not, finding anything from good clothing to current information about health matters can be very time consuming and frustrating.The authorities are viewing the need for change but often there can be a negative image and little support. We want to centralise information and places to go for support as well as offer a positive approach

Living as a bigger person can have many different ‘knock on’ effects. This can be your health, your happiness, your confidence or even your comfort. Our site is very much led by what you want to have on it and as a voice for the people who live daily with a weight problem. Whatever your age, weight or background we want to hear from you either directly or share experiences and make friends within the Community forum.. Professionals - we welcome your input. Over the past four years we have been listening to YOU and we will keep doing so.

This site is evolving with your feedback and we look forward to hearing from you.
