"Self-love means caring for your body which means losing weight!" Seems logical, but is it actually?

TW: brief mention of sexual assault and I talk about getting a PAP/smear test. Episode show notes: http://www.fiercefatty.com/077 How To Love Your Fat Bo...

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...

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...

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. Episode show notes...

Do you find yourself thinking "those other fatties are gorgeous but my body is a crime scene!"

Is it irrelevant to work on accepting or even loving our bodies when there are potentially more important things to worry about; like erasing systemic fatphobia?

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 thankf...

I've stopped dieting and therefore I am free from the grips of diet culture! Right? Umm..maybe not. Diet culture is this tricky, sticky beast that has its tentacles in so many areas of our life and chances are you still have diet culture lurking in your thinking and ways of behaving. TW: Mentions of food moralisation, diet behaviours Episode show notes: http://www.fiercefatty.com/068

Has a friend been a little distant or perhaps you haven't heard from someone in a while? What does it mean? Well, that everyone hates you...of course! (sarcasm alert). Why is it that we make up stories about how others perceive us in our heads and think that we have f*cked up in some way when the reality is probably something completely different? In this episode, I share how in my irrational brai...

Why is it that we think that losing weight will solve all our problems? How do you deal with negative emotions about your body changing through weight gain or aging?

You now have to decide to change and start believing new ideas of what is acceptable, attractive, and worthy. In this episode, I will teach you how to do that, let's do it! Episode show...

"New year, new you!" Chances are you've been hearing this phrase a lot of the last few weeks.

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 just find it really bo...

Fat sex! How does society view fat bodies and how do we view our own fat bodies when it comes to sex and desirability? What impact does that have on the way we relate to others sexually?

Progressive spaces are filled with people who are determined to hold onto bigoted beliefs and it's really getting on my t*ts! In many liberal spaces, discrimination is a big no-no, people work to be anti-racist, anti-sexist, they pride themselves on being forward-thinking and inclusive....that is until it comes to fat bodies.
