Diet Starts Tomorrow Diet Starts Tomorrow

On today’s episode of Diet Starts Tomorrow, Lauren gives Emily an update on her return to the GYM. Even though there was some anxiety about working out in public as someone in a bigger body, Lauren was pleasantly surprised that people at the gym really couldn’t care less. Praise be. We close the episode out with Lauren reviewing her gym goalz which include improved mood, energy, sleep, longevity and more power when it comes to the bane of her existence, subway stairs. Turns out there are plenty of reasons to work out that aren’t weight loss; wish someone told us when we were teens!

On today’s episode of Back For Seconds, Aleen gives Sami a recap of her recent trip to see the Lads in London where she was able to apply her leadership skills to duck herding. Yes, duck herding. Then, they review “Making The Shift,” an online special released by Oprah and Weight Watchers in which body acceptance advocate and friend of the show, Katie Sturino made an appearance. The two praise Katie for using her voice in a diet-centered space which prompts a conversation about how we choose our role models. Finally, Sami reflects on if the early years of “Diet Starts Tomorrow” contributed at all to diet culture while Aleen gently and confidently reminds her that they’ve done a net positive with this show. It’s called growth, people. Stay tuned for more on the DST journey on our final Back For Seconds episode in two weeks. I’m not crying, you’re crying!

On today’s episode of Diet Starts Tomorrow, Emily and Lauren discuss Billie Eilish’s recent interview with Rolling Stone where she talks about how she uses sex to decompress, either with a partner or solo. This leads into a discussion about the public's pervasive and CREEPY obsession with overanalyzing the bodies of pop stars. There’s a reason why Eilish is known for her oversized looks, and it’s not just because they’re trendy af. Nobody is off limits including Lana Del Rey, Selena Gomez, and even Taylor Swift, and let's not forget every millennial woman’s Roman Empire, the iconic tabloid photo of Jessica Simpson in high-waist jeans. Emily and Lauren talk about how this gave us all a collective sense of dysmorphia, and close on how it specifically has affected their own senses of self.
