I am answering listener questions today!
First, we talk about how to deal with fatphobia in the workplace. Now that folks are going back into the office the powers that be have decided that we all must lose the “quarantine 15” (that term makes me shudder and eye roll at the same time) and are setting up uuuuber helpful lunch and learns about what a fat loser you are. Fun!
I talk about what you can do in this situation. The second question asks how to differentiate low self-esteem from a mental health condition - if you’ve ever wondered what’s the difference between an eating disorder and disordered eating or between good ol’ low self-esteem and something like body dysmorphic disorder then I’ll be giving my 2 cents.

“Before the pandemic, I could run 50 marathons in a day and now I have put on 2 lbs and can only run 49 marathons in a day and so it is 100% down to my weight and not because I haven’t run in the last 18 months!” - I’ve been seeing sentiments like this allllll over the internetwebs.com, of course not that extreme, but you get the gist.
People’s health has changed since the pandemic started and collectively we are blaming it on weight gain or a change in what we eat and are not looking at it with nuance.
So, lemme break it down for ya. Also! Are you anxious about being judged by people you haven’t seen in a while? Let’s talk about that too!

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).

TW: brief mention of sexual assault and I talk about getting a PAP/smear test.

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.

I used to believe that ALL fat people were fat because they had mental health issues. Is it true that when people experience trauma they consciously or unconsciously put on weight to protect themselves? Is being fat just a physical manifestation of something else that is going on that we need to fix? I answer these questions PLUS talk about age positivity in this week's episode.

Binge Eating Disorder is the most prevalent eating disorder in adults, yet hardly anyone talks about it. So many people who live with it believe they are just addicted to food and a good old diet will fix their perceived out-of-control relationship around "bad" food. I talk about my own experience with this eating disorder and how I shifted my beliefs around it to get to a place where I was thankful I had it in my life at the time I needed it.
Trigger warning: I will be talking about eating disorders in this episode, food quantities, spousal abuse through food deprivation, and also a brief mention of child sexual assault so skip if that’s not feeling ok for you today.
