012: New Year's Resolutions That Won't Make You Feel Like a Bag of Poo
"New year, new you!" Chances are you've been hearing this phrase a lot of the last few weeks. There are loads of diet adverts around and it can be tempting to consider trying one last new magical program that will finally make you thin. But if there is a little voice that is telling you that this year is going to be different for you then tune into this episode where I am giving some resolution suggestions that will actually make you feel like a goddamn badass and not a massive failure when the magical diet doesn't work (P.S. you're not a failure, diets are).

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.

008: What the Heck Is Thin Privilege and Do You Have It?
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!

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.
