When you’re fat you feel so different, because everything about the world (from chairs and clothes to doctors and dating) is designed to tell you that you’re wrong, you don’t belong, it isn’t OK to be in the body you have.

Ameya and Pallavi discuss being fat—the pain, the joy, the learning, the dark humor and the silver lining. They talk about body image, societal norms, working hard at self love, failing at weight loss, loneliness, food, love and sex! You’ll hear about their journeys to fat liberation and how fatphobia and fat stigma affect us all.

    S2E12: Fa(s)t friends

    At the end of Season 2, Pallavi and Ameya turn to the greatest aid in surviving fatphobia: community. In this episode the fatsos explore how they experienced community or the lack thereof, and how they felt excluded and then included as they have later found or built communities to offer them support, strength and solace. Spoiler alert: there might be a little role reversal *gasp*!
