What is the other F word? Simple: it's Fat. And if you think fat can’t be funny, think again.

Emmy award-winning comedian Ian Karmel and his sister Alisa grew up fat. As kids, they never talked about it. As Ian puts it, they were too busy fighting over the last SnackWell’s Devil’s Food cookie. 

Now, decades later, having figured out how to get their health under control, they are finally ready to unpack the impact that their weight has had on them.

Ian and Alisa will join me on this episode to discuss their new book, The T-Shirt Swim Club: Stories of Being Fat in a World of Thin People.

For these siblings, the T-Shirt Swim Club is a place of support for anyone who struggles with weight issues. A place of care and candor, free of shame.

Do you ever think, “I’ll be happy when I lose weight or, “When I stop bingeing, I’ll be happy.”

The opposite is true: when we’re happy, we tend to lose weight and/or stop binge eating.

So, are you yearning for deeper happiness and fulfillment in your life? Do you find yourself struggling to feel content?

Lack of true happiness can lead to emptiness, dissatisfaction, and a sense of being unfulfilled in life, which leads to binge eating or emotional eating to fill the void and the emptiness or to distract yourself.

In this episode, I show you how to adopt a happiness mindset. We'll talk about:

Common misconceptions about happiness and how to redefine it for yourself

Practical techniques for developing self-acceptance, self-compassion, and self-love

Strategies for building meaningful connections and nurturing relationships

The importance of finding purpose and passion in your life

The role of self-care and boundaries in maintaining a positive mindset

Listen now, and discover how to cultivate a happier mindset and stop binge eating or emotional eating.
