I asked the question to my IG followers “What do you think when IE/HAES/anti-diet dieticians share “what I eat in a day” posts?” and the response was overwhelming. Y’all hate it. Today we are talking about that, and the other things that dieticians who care about fat folks might get wrong that can harm fat clients and followers.

There are so many things that influence health and most are not in our control. The moralistic value that society places on "healthy" bodies is ableism, healthism, and not helpful for anyone. "Health" is largely a social justice issue and also a social construct. "Health" is not attainable for many and a temporary state of being. What the heck am I even talking about?! Tune into this episode for a deep dive into the concept of health being a social construct.

I used to think I could channel David Copperfield and use illusion techniques to make people think that I was a size zero. Of course, I’d do all the normal things, avoid stripes, and wear black…but I also had some very weird ideas of things that would make me appear thin; like wearing clown shoes and eating food with teaspoons. Come join me as we commiserate with my younger horned-up teenager self and perhaps quit some of the things that you may still be doing to try and hide your fatness (only if you want to, that is!).

A companion piece to episode 122, today we are hearing from even more people about their experience pre and post-bariatric surgery. These people whose voices have been ignored and unheard and their testimonies are incredibly important. You don’t have to have listened to episode 122 but it would be helpful for more context. Giant trigger warning: death, bad health outcomes, general awful fat hate.
