Georgia Finch
“I’ve always known my weight didn’t define me – but that didn’t stop the world trying to tell me otherwise.”
Georgia Finch joined Obesity UK’s Ambassador Programme in 2025, bringing with her not just lived experience of obesity, but a deep understanding of how stigma and silence can harm people who are already vulnerable. Her openness, humour, and advocacy for inclusive support systems make her a powerful voice for change.
Georgia’s Reflections
In her own words, Georgia never felt like she fit the stereotype people often projected onto those living with obesity. She’s experienced stigma, misjudgement, and at times even shame – not because of how she sees herself, but because of how others have treated her. What’s changed is not the challenge of living in a larger body, but the confidence to speak out and support others.
During our conversation, Georgia reflected on how important it is to ‘just be real’ – to talk openly about how obesity affects all aspects of life, including mental health, social inclusion, and access to fair treatment. She sees Obesity UK as a platform not just to raise awareness, but to build community and show people they are not alone.
“When I found Obesity UK, it was like – finally, people who get it. No judgement, just support. It helped me feel less alone.”
Georgia’s Advice to Others
“Don’t wait for others to validate your journey. Whether you’re just beginning or still figuring things out, your story matters. And you deserve support, no matter your size.”
Georgia hopes that by sharing her experiences, she can help others find confidence, compassion, and connection. As a Patient Advocate, she’s committed to breaking stigma and helping shape a more inclusive, understanding future for people living with obesity.
