Welcome to Indulgence Gospel After Dark!

This month we’re unpacking content from Rosey Beeme, Brianne Huntsman, and other influencers who long identified as body positive, plus size fashion folks—and now are talking proudly about their intentional weight loss journeys. But it’s not a moral failing if you can’t wipe your own ass.

CW: This episode includes some unavoidable discussion of intentional weight loss and links to posts that promote it. Take care of yourselves!

To listen to the full episode and read the full transcript, you’ll need to join Extra Butter, our premium subscription tier.

Extra Butter costs just $99 per year. If you are current paid subscriber, the remaining value of your subscription will be deducted from that total.

In these monthly episodes we get into the GOOD stuff like:

Why all the fat influencers are getting skinny

Is Kids Eat In Color anti-diet?

And did Virginia really get divorced over butter?

Extra Butters also get a comp to Cult of Perfect, exclusive chats and DMS, and dedicated Friday Threads.

And Extra Butter ensures that the Burnt Toast community can always stay an ad- and sponsor-free space—which is crucial for body liberation journalism. Join us here!
