One of the biggest barriers people who are trying to unlearn anti-fat bias has, is dealing with other people who won’t stop talking about diets and how much they don’t want to be fat. Often these are friends or loved ones and commonly they aren’t talking negatively about YOU directly, but about THEMSELVES (of course there are many exceptions to this). But the message they are sharing is that fatness is bad, they don’t want to look like you or that dieting is a good solution to fatphobia. How the heck do we deal with these people? I am answering real-life scenarios from followers today and the biggest culprit that comes up is” mother-in-law”….lol, ugh.

What’s the deal with atypical anorexia? Is it actually “atypical” and where did the diagnosis come from? Learn the in’s and out’s of this eating disorder and the ways in which weight bias stops people from getting treatment and even diagnosis. Plus: is it true that to be “really” starving you would be thin?

Who has personally benefitted the most from our obsession with thinness? Which individuals are the biggest diet hucksters? From the 1800s right up to the present day I have a list of those who have scammed us the most and in the process line their pockets.

We have a special episode today which is for the loved ones of fat folks who are worried about their health or want them to lose weight. I am going to be talking directly to the people who deeply care about a fat person and may say or think something like “I don’t quite understand why they don’t eat in a certain way or stick to a diet when they know it could have negative impacts on their health.” If you know someone who could benefit from hearing about weight science, and the impacts that living in a fat body has on fat individuals with personal stories then tune in and share. TW: mention of The “o words” and weight in pounds, I also read advice columns from people wanting their spouse to lose weight and that can be hard to hear.

TW: Fatphobia/diet culture leading to death. I am talking about famous people who had overwhelming pressure to be thin and died trying or their life was damaged because of that. I am also talking about the idea that fatphobia caused or deeply contributed to them being unalive. It’s a pretty tough episode so please skip if you need to.

Beachbody just announced that they are changing their name to BODi and will be embracing body positivity. Is this another branding tactic like Weight Watchers changing to “WW” or is it another grift to get more people to join their MLM (ahem, pyramid scheme). Perhaps they are genuine in their aims to be more inclusive? Let’s find out in this episode where I talk to ex-Beachbody coach Jen Borruso (@jenb.coaching) who is now a Size-Inclusive Fitness Specialist with her biz ​​Anchor Fit Club (@anchorfitclub)

I am answering your questions today! We talk about being denied IVF due to size, working out if it's transphobia or fatphobic that is causing body dysmorphia, how to call in or call out fatphobic comments, and finally how the heck to stop spiraling when you think everyone is judging your weight.
