Happy Satiated Saturday! I have said this before and I'll say it again. Your food behaviors are happening for a reason. Binging, restricting, chronic dieting, and body image concerns all come up to support you and satisfy a need that is not being met. They are there to help you feel safe and in control. And so, healing disordered eating or an eating disorder will mean addressing the root cause that is fueling your food and body behaviors. It's not really about the food. It will be about addressing what your body is holding onto from past trauma and beliefs that need to be looked at and potentially updated. In this week's episode, I talk with Asher Seruya, psychotherapist, illustrator, and writer, about diet culture, fatphobia, the effects of religion on our eating behaviors, and how our past traumas and generational trauma color our experience of the present. You can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/whats-fueling-your-eating-disorderBegin to experience every eating experience as a doorway into yourself. What, when, why, and how you're eating can all inform you of how you're processing your life.With Compassion and Empathy,Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Asher here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/badashtherapy/Website: https://ashermseruya.com/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@badashtherapyContact: Asher@ashermseruya.comReferences: Diets Are A Lot Like ReligionKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the intro music in this episode. www.bensound.comSupport the show

Bonus Episode: Merf interviews Tigress and me about our 2 Fat HysterectomiesBonus Episode: Heavy Duty HysterectomiesWelcome Tigress OsbornCreator of Full Figure Entertainment in Oakland, CA  Tigress now lives in Arizona.Fat Visibility and Fat Activism since 2008: If you are a fat person and enjoy some type of fat freedom fatties did not have before 2008, it's likely Tigress had her hand in it. (Along with a lot of other fabulous, loud, no shit style fat activists. Thank you Tigress and to the other 60 years worth of activists that have all been working hard for all of us.Content Warning:  Numbers mentioned. There is lots of discussion of blood and clots, because, well. It comes with the territory. This is not a SEXY episode, but we feel like it's an important story to tell. We are two fat women in our 40's (TO) and 50's (CB)We try our best to NOT use gendered language while discussing uteruses and hysterectomies. We are being mindful of our non-binary friends, two-spirit listeners, and trans friends. But, we do slip up or if you notice we slip up, please accept our apologies. (CB and Merf)4:27 Merf defines and describes the various types of hysterectomies. (CB :  I had a radical style which meant everything was removed, including my cervix.) I had 2 days to decide if I wanted mine. Tigress has a longer experience of dealing with her medical problems around getting her Hysterectomy.Myths and Misconceptions about Hysterectomies. Some of the things we grow up hearing about women who have hysterectomies - we dry up, our vaginas are no longer “good” or useful.Tigress brings up the tender feeling around going to the “women's health” departments where there are lots and lots pics of babies and moms and like everything to do with women's reproductive issues are such a fun, good time! NOT. And, not for everyone. Including, sometimes, not for Tigress. Having a hysterectomy gives you a lot to examine - and one of the big ones is that you never have the opportunity to have your own children. 7 minutes Tigress goes into her hysterectomy story. She started having a cycle at 11. (The same week she went to the “special talk” in grade school - Free To Be You And Me.) 10 minutes in we discuss some pretty gory stuff around all of the blood clots we have all dealt with. Clots that remind us of animal organs and aliens running down our legs.  Perimenopause is 10 years LONG and maybe a little less and maybe a little more. Tigress had some fibroids, an ablation, adhesions, PCOS, and possibly endometriosis. Same with Merf. Merf is currently dealing with PCOS, endo, and really want to have a hysterectomy, but is getting push back from her drs.RESOURCES:  Tigress and I both got a lot of support from Caring for our Fat Bodies on Facebook.  Fat Positive / Queer Positive Peri/Menopause on FB was also super helpful for both of us. Well moderated groups with lots of great information.  Adult Diapers I mention that fit my size 30 butt/hips/tummy. Amazon store called Solimo Store. They fit great and are extra comfy. No tightness around my thighs. Chrystal's surgery was done with the da Vinci robot, which has a great track record for working with fat babes, apparently. Tigress is the Chair of NAAFA.org  National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance. If you can give, here is their link for a donation. Tigress was not in a work capacity for this interview.Support the show

Wenn Sarah sich vorstellt, sagt sie nicht nur, wie sie heißt, wie alt sie ist und wo sie herkommt, sondern auch, dass sie fett ist. Für sie ist das Wort “fett” nur ein weiteres Adjektiv zur Beschreibung ihrer Person. Sarah beschäftigt sich mit body positivity und fat activism. Auf ihrem Instagram Account möchte sie ein Zeichen setzen und präsentiert dort ihre selbstgemachten Textilien, die sie alle unter dem Motto queer, fett und feministisch anfertigt. Noch mehr zum Thema body positivity, fat activism und warum Sarah trotz aller Empfehlungen ihrer Ärzte nicht abnimmt, erfahrt ihr im Podcast. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

This week I am re-releasing this episode with Cat Pausé.  I didn't know her well, in fact we only met twice.  I was on her podcast Friend of Marilyn and she was on mine.  But her work was brilliant and I was so honoured to have her on the show.  She recently, vey suddenly passed away. I wanted to do something to show how amazing she was and how much of an impact she has had on me.  The fact she came onto my growing podcast and gave her limited time to a fledging fat liberationist is a true testimony to her generous nature.  I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to talk to her about something she clearly had so much passion about.  Here is the newsletter notes I released just before the show was available for download:The episode that is going to be released tomorrow is amazing.  Truly.  If you have never heard of Cat Pausé, then you need to immediately go here and here and here!  I don't think I fangirl enough in this episode but in all honesty, I look up to this woman.  I think the things she has done in the world of fat activism are exemplary and worthy of praise.  Please don't miss this episode.  Cat and I discuss:Cat's journey to fat politics and her political activism in New ZealandWhy the key too fat liberation has nothing to do with healthDefining fat activismThe palatability of certain fat activism proxiesThe different types of fat activismThe three "defining" events of fat activismThe messiness of activismCat's experience with burnout and the direction her radio show took because of itThe dominance of US voices in the movementWhat it means to Queer fat activismRest In Power CatKeep reading everyone

In this episode, we discuss recent headlines in the mainstream media surrounding "health" and what health "looks like". More and more media sources are featuring people in larger bodies as the face of health, which is resulting in lots of backlash. As Christians, how should we respond to it? What is health, and does it have a look? Phrases like "health at every size" and "body positivity" have different meanings to different people. Now more than ever, Christians need to be discerning about the messaging they hear and compare to objective truths found in the Bible.

Another first on the podcast!  A few months ago, I had Natalie Boero on the show to talk about Kimberly Dark's book Fat, Pretty and Soon to Be Old. This week I have such a treat!  Kimberly Dark is came on the show to talk about Natalie Boero's book Killer Fat!  I had such a ball and honestly the two episodes really compliment one another.  Some of the things we chatted about include: Kimberly's journey"I live in the circus sideshow of sociology"Moving from fat/fit to fat/disabledWhy Killer Fat is a sociological perspectiveWhy the macro and micro levels are different perspectives but are linked to create a whole narrativeThe relevance of Boero's chosen reportsHow to get media traction and create an epidemicHow to blame individuals for systemic issuesKimberly's experience with Weight Watchers and Overeaters AnonymousWhat does it mean to be eating too much?Kimberly's experience with bypass surgeryHow bypass surgery communities push gender rolesKeep reading everyone!Kimberly's LinksWebsiteBook resources for book clubsKimberly's calendarYoutubeFat Girl Book Club and Episode LinksYour Better Body Image ChecklistOfficial FB Group for the PodcastFat Girl Book Club PatreonRoxane Gay's discussion of her surgeryBook RecommendationsPersonal Accounts:What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat by Aubrey GordonFat, Pretty and Soon To Be Old by Kimberly DarkDamaged Like Me by Kimberly DarkSocial Analysis/ History of Social Construction of Fatness:Fat Shame by Amy Erdman FarrellFearing the Black Body by Sabrina Strings

I have never thrown out my questions when talking to a guest before, but I just had so much fun talking to Emily Lubin about The Hundred Year Diet by Susan Yager that I lost track of time and didn't ask anything I'd planned to!  This book also provided us with lots to discuss.  The 100 Year Diet was really problematic and triggering, so we were able to dive deep into some pretty nuanced discussion.  Here are some of the things we talked about:Emily's anti-diet journeyDieting and childrenThe hardest parts of intuitive eating for EmilyFad diets and why Emily will never eat ricotta cheese againDiet pillsWhy this book is so problematic!The food and sex relationshipBlaming the individual for society's problemsPolitics and foodThe nuances of intuitive eating when not everyone has the same access to foodWhy treating weight first is not healthyThe point the author is trying to make?Is there anything good about this book?Fat Girl Book Club LinksI Wish I Were Me WebsiteFat Girl Book Club Patreon pageThe Better Body Image Book Club FB GroupSecrets from the Eating Lab EpisodeEmily's LinksRIP DietsDiscord GroupRIP Diets on IGEmily on IGBook RecommendationsEat Up by Ruby TandohEating in the Light of the Moon by Anita Johnston

Actor Jen Ponton, best known as Rubi in AMC's Dietland, is as passionate as the characters she plays! Listen as she dishes about how she almost got the role as Kate from This Is Us and why Dietland didn't get picked up for a second season. Jen holds nothing back, speaking openly about sexism, racism, and fatphobia in Hollywood and beyond.

We live in a world in which the value of who we are in so many ways is tied to our looks. Ironically, in a country with the highest global rate of obesity, We value fat people among the least; at least we show it by our actions- societally. We had the privilege to sit and discuss what the real life implications are on real people; and the disadvantages they deal with because of the alienation. Dr. Louise Williams Philosopher and real life ambassador to the community, is a fat activist and uplifts through her business - Empowerment Through Thought.  Special Guest: Dr. Louise Williams - instagram.com/empowermentthroughthoughtIntroduction by: Heather Casper - instagram.com/wildheatherblooms and https://offyourchest.comMusic by: Cold Sweater - https://www.instagram.com/cold.sweater

In this week's episode of What Did Liz Read This Week? I talk about Aubrey Gordon's book What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat and Isabel Wilkerson's book Caste. Y'know. Some light reading.Aubrey Gordon formerly wrote exclusively under her internet handle Your Fat Friend. She's a fat activist and co-host of the incredibly popular podcast Maintenance Phase, along with Michael Hobbes.Isabel Wilkerson won the Pulitzer Prize for her previous book, The Warmth of Other Suns. Her latest book Caste has similarly been hailed as an incredible achievement, chosen by Oprah and others as a book of the year. It's also the common read this academic year for my college's honors program.Links:What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat: https://www.yourfatfriend.com/home/bookMaintenance Phase web: http://maintenancephase.com/MP IG: https://www.instagram.com/maintenancephase/?hl=enMP Twitter: https://twitter.com/maintenancepodAubrey Gordon's web site: https://www.yourfatfriend.com/AG's IG: https://www.instagram.com/yrfatfriend/?hl=enAG's Twitter: https://twitter.com/yrfatfriendMichael Hobbes's web site: https://rottenindenmark.org/MH's Twitter: https://twitter.com/RottenInDenmarkCaste: https://www.isabelwilkerson.com/retailersThe Warmth of Other Suns: http://warmth.isabelwilkerson.com/Isabel Wilkerson web: https://www.isabelwilkerson.com/IW IG: https://www.instagram.com/isabelwilkerson/?hl=enIW Twitter: https://twitter.com/isabelwilkerson

Victoria Welsby is, in a word, a superstar! They are a world-leading expert on body image and confidence and a speaker and author, and they have an incredibly amazing and inspirational story to share, having gone from being homeless with low self-esteem and being in abusive and difficult relationships to being who they are today – a courageous and confident fat activist! They join me in this episode of The SociEATy Podcast to discuss being a fat activist and what that means, touching upon various topics such as neutralizing the word fat, advice on how to work toward accepting our own bodies, the misconceptions surrounding links between weight and health, and so much more! Victoria also explains their Body Love Road Map, which you can download for free here! As per usual, Victoria closes by providing a couple of actionable tips that you can put into action today in order to work toward body acceptance! They encourage us to ask ourselves why gaining weight is such a fear and to then take appropriate action. Educating ourselves is important but is not enough. We also need to take action or else education alone isn't going to work. I am so grateful to Victoria for having been on the podcast to share their remarkable and inspirational story and for giving such fantastic advice!

I am going to be gushing about this one for a long time!!!For this week's discussion I talked with Natalie Boero about Kimberly Dark's Fat, Pretty and Soon to Be Old.  Natalie wrote the article about me that was recently in Women Who Podcast Magazine and I asked her if she wanted to spend some time with me on this show.  If you've been in body liberation circles for a bit, you will recognize Natalie as the author of Killer Fat (which normally always gets a reference in most current body acceptance books), so needless to say I am a little excited she came on.  In our discussion we covered:Natalie's fat activist journey including the Padded Lilys, studying fat in academia and how feminism treats anti-fat workWhat fat activism could do betterNatalie's bad fat dayBeing fit and fatFat and pretty/Fat and old identitiesHow this book is a sociological memoirRadical cultural change comes from recognizing intersectionalitiesWhy changing structures is more important than calling out micro aggressionsFat people and airplanesThe impact of Shadow on a Tightrope on Natalie's storyBody positivity in relation to fat activismKeep reading everyone!LinksNatalie's TwitterNatalie's InstagramNatalie's San Jose State University PageKiller Fat: Media, Medicine and Morals in the American "Obesity Epidemic"The Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of Body and EmbodimentShow mentionsFlying While Fat FB PageThe Beauty Myth by Naomi WolfFat as a Feminist Issue by Susie OrbachDamaged Like Me by Kimberly DarkNatalie's Book RecommendationsShadow on a Tightrope edited by Lisa Schoenfielder and Barb WieserFearing the Black Body by Sabrina StringsFat Studies Reader edited by Esther Rothblum and Sondra SolovayHealth at Every Size by Lindo BaconBody Respect by Lindo BaconFat Activism by Charlotte CooperThe Body is Not an Apology by Sonya Renee TaylorFat Girl Book Club LinksYour Better Body Image ChecklistThe Better Body Image FB Group

My time on the Clubhouse app has been pretty non-existent the last few months.  I just have a lot happening, but for the few months I did spend on it, I met some quality humans.  This week, you are going to be hearing from one of them.  Patrilie Hernandez works on an institutional level to break diet culture and fat phobia.  She has had 14 years of experience working in the health and nutrition sector where she combines her academic background in culinary arts, anthropology and nutrition/health, with her lived experience as a large-bodied, neuroatypical, queer multiracial femme of the Puerto Rican diaspora to disrupt the status quo of the local nutrition and wellness community and advocate for a weight-inclusive health paradigm in educational settings.While our discussion about Fearing the Black Body by Sabrina Strings is academic, Patrilie is so thoughtful and passionate, you will start to put the pieces together around racism and fat phobia.Our conversation was about:Patrilie's body liberation journey and The Great Unraveling of 2018What it means to embrace intersectionalitiesHow Sabrina Strings teeter toters through art, literature, food, media and medicine to show us how we got to our current situation in terms of body ideals and white supremacyHow slavery changed views about beautyWho creates our beauty ideals?  Who was given a voice? Who was supporting the men's ideas?Sara BaartmanPatrilie's internal dialogue around her anthropology degreeAmerican White Exceptionalism and the responsibility of white womenMass Immigration Movement and how it conditions people to keep thinness and whiteness as important idealsHow racial science still exists todayHow medical science regulates bodiesHow weight became a health metric and how this ties into racismHow healthcare is upholding white supremacyKeep reading everyone!LinksPatrilie's WebsitePatrilie's InstagramPatrilie's FacebookPatrilie's TwitterI Wish I Were Me Website for the free resourceThe Better Body Image Book Club FB groupBook RecommendationsThey Were Her Property: White Women as Slaveholders in the American South by Stephanie E.

Live from our studio on the U.S. Virgin Islands, we rant on obese human beings fighting as fat activists because they can't stop nibbling on their seventh cheeseburger for lunch. Tess Holliday, a plus-size model, and fat activist, recently reveals that she is suffering from anorexia, and we brainstorm why most men aren't jumping onto the bandwagon.

Should you embrace your curves by smearing yourself in Dove products, or drink slimfast and chase the thin dream? Either way, the same giant corporation will benefit. Do what you need to do, but listen to this podcast too! Oriana talks with the artist, psychotherapist and fat activist Charlotte Cooper, who is an outlier in every field in which she takes part. They discuss what it takes to keep doing your thing and valuing it and yourself along the way, despite reactions ranging from indifference to intolerance and hate. Cooper, who considers her psychotherapy practice to be revolutionary, advises that compassion is necessary to the creative process.  Dr Oriana Fox is a London-based, New York-born artist with a PhD in self-disclosure. She puts her expertise to work as the host of the talk show performance piece The O Show .Charlotte Cooper is an artist, writer, psychotherapist and activist. It seems like there's nothing she doesn't do; she dances, makes music, produces zines and genealogies. She has collaborated with an enviable list of artists and most prominently with her girlfriend Kay Hyatt. The two perform as Homosexual Death Drive, a genre-defying band with irreverent lyrics and eye-popping music videos. Cooper's decades-long work on fat, like her performance practice, defies categorisation. A new edition of her book Fat Activism: A Radical Social Movement, will be available in June 2021. Credits:Hosted, edited and produced by Oriana FoxPost-production mixing by Stacey HarveyThemesong written and performed by Paulette HumanbeingSpecial thanks to Katie Beeson, Janak Patel, Sven Olivier Van Damme and the Foxes and Hayeses. Would you like to see your name in the above credits list?

Another wonderful conversation with Indigo Wolff. We talk about Transgender Issues in a previous episode that you can find wherever you get your podcasts. Today we talk about what it's like to be a fat person living in a world not built for fat people, both in a literal and figurative sense. There's a fat tax no one talks about, there's limited seating, and the chance of paying extra to fly in an airplane. But, just as important, there isn't room for our fat friends in conversation about what it's like to be them. It might be awkward or hard to talk about it, but it's important to either let them have their say about their physical appearance or, just as valid, shut the hell up when it comes to their weight.
