010: Why I Use the Word Fat and Not the O Words
Content Warning: Use of the "O Words" throughout the episode. What's the deal with using the word "fat?" Why not use a word that is nicer? Or medical words like "ov*rw*ight" or "ob*se?" Lemme break it down including why the Body Mass Index (BMI) scale is total bullshit.

A lot of people get angry about this topic and the reason (most of the time) is that they don't understand what thin privilege is and when they realise they may have it they get defensive and say "but I don't have thin privilege because I don't like my body!" Let me clear up the confusion once and for all and share why having thin privilege doesn't actually make you a bad person, surprize!

I got a question which I am sure a lot of you can resonate with; how do I deal with friends who talk about their diets all the time? The reasons why we may not want to hear diet talk are many. Perhaps you’re recovering from an eating disorder or chronic dieting. Perhaps you’re working on accepting your fat body and knowing others want to shrink theirs is hurtful. Perhaps you just find it really boring and wanna ZZZZZZZ the hell outta there? Whatever the reasons then I’m gonna help you in this episode.

003: Why Diets Are Messed Up
Chances are you’ve been on more than one diet in your life, I know I have. A diet is any type of restrictive eating, whether it be a juice cleanse (cleanses are bullshit by the way). Telling yourself you won't eat carbs until you get a date with Channing Tatum (hands off him, he’s mine). Or it could be a full-on restriction of calories in order to starve your body into supermodelness. I am here to tell you why I will never go on a diet again because my friends…that shiz is f'd.
