    Weight loss transformation is a powerful idea for many people. It’s not surprising: Media constantly inundates us with the idea that weight loss will dramatically improve our lives.

We also talk to Ariel Woodson, a fat activist and host of the popular radical fat acceptance podcast, Bad Fat Broads, about the drastic decision she made in pursuit of her own transformation — and why it didn’t work out as she planned.
