189. Summer Rewind: Going Deeper with Rosie on Fat Shaming: Navigating Negative Comments & A Size-Biased World
Update: 2024-08-13
Description
Even the most confident among us can be deeply hurt by fat shaming. Intentional or not, overt or covert, no one wants to experience it. After a recent conversation with our friend Rosie about her distressing encounter with fat shaming on a plane, we found ourselves asking: Why does this still happen? Why is "fat" used as an insult? And why do some people think it's okay to say that?
In this re-released episode, we’re diving into the roots of fat phobia, exploring size stereotypes, and discussing why "fat" remains a weaponized term. We reflect on our personal fat-shaming experiences, how they’ve impacted our confidence, what we’ve learned, how to handle such situations, and ultimately, how to rise above these negative comments. Remember, confidence and happiness aren’t dictated by size.
