The Fab Fatties

“We accept the love we think we deserve.” - Stephen Chbosky

 

It’s no secret that we’ve had our own ups and downs in our lives and in our relationships. It’s as we navigate through these that we’re finding ourselves along the way. It isn’t always easy, especially when you make it a spectator sport. We’re inviting the Internet into our lives on a weekly basis, and we’re letting it all hang out. Some days, that’s really hard, and other days, it’s incredibly rewarding. But on all days, we learn. We learn what is most important to us, and we learn what we will no longer accept for ourselves, for each other, and for our beloved communities. Call us delusional, but we think we each deserve the world, so we’re gonna go get it for each other. 💖

“I took on the shame that the world gave to me.” - Oprah

 

This was such a powerful start to what we hoped would be, at the very least, a balanced conversation surrounding our beloved fat community and the current prescription weight-loss craze. Unfortunately, we were left disappointed, angry, and, honestly, sad. Join us this week as we dive into this hour-long special meant to alleviate the pain that diet culture and the weight-loss industry has inflicted upon us for the majority of our lives, only to find out that the message is still very much the same. This is a sensitive topic and an all-around sensitive conversation, and we hope you’ll take care of you and your mental wellbeing as we navigate these very murky waters together. ♥️

*Not the actual title of the special, but it kinda feels like it should’ve been. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Welcome to our Spotlight Series! We're taking turns diving deep with each other, unveiling your fav Fab Fatties. We're mentioning it all - what made us, what changed us, and what brought us here today. Next up, our favorite alien, Rebecca! We think she’s out of this world, but, sometimes, she feels a little bit like a stranger among us. She’s a fierce fat advocate and positively profound, and we’re lucky to be in her orbit. Join us this week as we make her laugh and she makes us cry... wait, that wasn’t the plan! What questions do you have for our magnificent martian? 👽🖖🏻

Join us as we delve into the tumultuous journey from diets to despair in this raw and revealing episode. As four fat women who have certainly put our bodies and minds through the ringer in the pursuit of thinness, we’re sharing our intimate experiences with eating disorders and disordered eating, shedding light on a topic often shrouded in secrecy and stigma. It should come as no surprise that this is a very heavy episode with some very real emotions, and we want to make sure that you, our amazing viewers and listeners, are prepared for this conversation. Grab some tissues, grab a snack because you are worthy of nourishing your body, grab your emotional support bevy of choice, and come sit with us. There’s always room at our table. — XO Alyssa, Miria, Rebecca + Ally 💖

After a post gone viral in support of our most vulnerable troops, the Girl Scouts might just be experiencing their first season selling cookies “guilt free.” In this now massively circulated graphic, we’re shown an example list of things we shouldn’t say to children regarding personal food choices. Can you imagine a world where adults were more careful about the words they used around you? Can you imagine the money you could’ve saved in therapy bills? Tune in for this, and help us settle the Great Debate.  Thin Mints vs. Everything Else 🍪 As always, if you love what we’re doing, give us a like, give us a follow, hit that subscribe button, and leave us fabulous reviews!

Sold out in stores. Sold out online. Have any of your favorite social media personalities sold out to the latest weight loss “miracle?” Now, don’t get us wrong. This is an extremely complicated topic, and we’ve got extremely complicated feelings. One of us is medically prescribed the “Shot-That-Must-Not-Be-Named,” and one of us has had weight loss surgery, and all of us have tried more than one way to shrink ourselves in a world obsessed with “fitting in.” Does that make us experts? No. Does that make us four human beings with very real and very valid feelings? It sure does. Let’s get into it!

Thank you to Sarah Chiwaya of @curvily, as many of you know and love her, for allowing us to share a piece of your wisdom this week! 🥰

This one speaks for itself. They have not won. We will keep speaking up and speaking out for ourselves and for our community. And, if all else fails, we’ll call your Mom. — XO Miria, Alyssa, Rebecca + Ally 💖

“Is it my style, or is it just my size?” This is the question we’re digging into this week as we discuss plus size fashion and our experiences with it or the lack thereof. We’re covering it all from shopping trips we missed out on and special occasion dresses we had to settle for to brands we currently love and how amazing it is to finally be able to swap clothes with our friends. You don’t want to miss the *subtle* shade and the loud laughs we’ve got in store for you this week, so come hang out with us! — XO Miria, Alyssa, Rebecca + Ally 💖

As lifelong fat gals, we’ve seen and heard it all. Trust us, no one is better prepared with self-deprecating humor than a girl who has, quite literally, been the butt of hundreds of cruel jokes from an unfairly young age. Finding community to relate our lived experiences with has truly been pivotal for each of us, and we’d like to give you a glimpse into some of those core memories. Join us as we discuss how our curves have impacted our lives from elementary school to the here and now, for better or worse. Sometimes, they’re a blessing and sometimes a curse.

Raise your hand if you've been personally victimized by New Year's resolutions. Hi, we're here to put an end to all things "New Year, New You." Join us, your fav Four Fab Fatties, as we discuss our thoughts on why reinventing yourself as the clock strikes twelve each year is just simply not the vibe anymore. If you also get the ick from being told that last year's version of you wasn't good enough, then stick around for our perspectives on this hot topic and a whole lot of laughs along the way. XO - Miria, Rebecca, Ally & Alyssa
