081: Do You Want to Be Thin or Do You Want to Be Healthy? Weight Gain and Health Post Lockdown
What happens when a Bopo influencer responds to feeling bad in her body post covid by restricting food and monitoring their exercise? What if other Bopo influencers (who are thin) are encouraging the behaviour? What if YOU feel bad about your body post covid? Does the fact that Bopo influencers seem to cheer on weight loss attempts in the name of health mean that this is something you should attempt as well? It's all so confusing! Let's talk about this nuanced topic in this episode! TW: I am talking about binge eating disorder and eating disorder behaviour and disordered thoughts extensively in this episode (without mentioning specific numbers or foods).

076: Intuitive Fasting (AKA How To Spot A Diet-Culture Charlatan) and Fat Fetishism
GOOP donkey Gwyneth Paltrow has promoted a book called Intuitive Fasting and it made me think about all the BS ways diet culture is sneaking into our lives. Now that Body Positivity and Ant-Diet are becoming more trendy I am seeing SO MANY popular IG accounts causing me major eye-roll-itis and indignant groans galore. They *look* legit yet when we scratch the surface there is a different story; in this episode, I will share the red flags that I see waving left and right. PLUS I answer a listening question on whether her new boyfriend is fetishizing her fat body or not. Come join me!

073: Are Fat People "Heart Attacks Waiting To Happen"?
What our society has taught us about fat people: OMG, fat people are stalking the streets in search of thin people to gobble up! Once they catch them the fatties suck what little fat The Thins (TM) have through a straw pierced into their belly buttons! Their appetites and depravity know no bounds and due to their deplorable behaviour they are "heart attacks waiting to happen"!!!!!! Of course, I am exaggerating there, but should we be worried that if we live in a fat body we are probably gonna die imminently? Is there any truth to the hyperbolic headlines featuring images of headless fatties? Let's talk about it in this episode. TW: O Words, health, and weight correlations, health-promoting behaviours, death from medical fatphobia Episode show notes: http://www.fiercefatty.com/073 Free Training: The 4 Simple Steps to Feel Confident in Your Body and Around Food ...
