On today’s episode of Diet Starts Tomorrow, Emily and Lauren channel Dear Abby as they respond to TWO listener submitted questions. First, we hear from someone who is concerned about her boyfriend’s health and wellness habits. When guys joke about not caring if they live a long time.. are they actually joking? Then, they debut a new segment called “Fat Chats” which will be an occasional off-shoot of Dear DST and a call-back to our “Plus Lauren” segments. In this inaugural Fat Chats, we hear from a plus size listener who is having a hard time getting the courage to shop for an outfit for an upcoming formal affair. For all the above, Emily and Lauren offer up both empathy and carefully crafted advice.
