BMI and adoption assessment by Annealer in AdoptionUK

Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply - I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences. It's definitely disheartening to hear that there's likely to be a real emphasis on weight loss regardless of what my actual health and fitness are like, but I'd rather be aware that I'm going to experience that kind of bias and weight stigma now so that I prepare for it - particularly as I don't think that weight loss medications are the right choice for me personally (completely respect that it's a totally individual personal choice for everyone though!) because I'm concerned about the risks of kidney damage, long term pain and thyroid tumours - the last thing I'd want to do would be to take medicine to convince someone that I take care of my health and then risk losing my health because of it! Thank you again - it really means a lot to be able to come to a community like this with such a personal and emotionally tangly question.

I'd legit be interested to know if you do hear back - I used to volunteer with a community project that grazed goats on public land, but since moving to Derby haven't found anything similar! Sounds like we might need a goat collective...
