In this episode, we share what it was really like growing up big—navigating African family comments, playground teasing, and all the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways society treats bodies differently once the weight is lost. Then, we dive into the transition to college and the dreaded Freshman 15: the mix of late-night eating, new freedoms, and unexpected weight changes that came with campus life. From crazy diet attempts to the overwhelming realization of what a “calorie” even was, we unpack the humor and heartbreak that shaped how we think about health, fitness, and body image. Expect candid reflections, unfiltered laughs, and a relatable look at how weight and identity can collide during one of life’s biggest transitions.
