We chat about size stigma, HAES, why every body deserves respect, her experiences training for an Ironman and I'll be answering a listener question on what to do if you feel like you cannot trust your body. In this episode, we chat about: - I answer a listener question about what to do if you feel like you can't trust your body, - How Ragen went from having an eating disorder to becoming a fat activist, - The research on dieting and weight loss and why health habits are the best way to get a healthy body, - The experience that made her to realize the oppression against fat people and how this was the catalyst for her activism, - The role of fat stigma on body image, - If you have issues with your body, it can be you and your body against that problem—not you against your body, - Why your life wouldn't be better if you were thinner—your life would be better if you lived in a world that didn't stigmatize fat and why changing the world is the solution, - Is it really possible to be happy, sexy and successful at any size? - The good fatty/bad fatty dichotomy – what is is and how she navigates it being a athlete and activist, - How she handles the trolls and stays determined against the negativity, - All about her experience with her Ironman training, Plus, so much more!
