Meet Shirley and K, two women who are just trying not to hate every inch of their fat bodies. Shirley and K are long time friends living thousands of miles from each other (Shirley: near Dublin; K: near Boston) who are forever brought together because it's a nightmare being fat. Listen as Shirley and K have a stream of consciousness conversation about what it's like for them to be fat in a world that seems intent on shaming with fat panic.
We're back after a little break where we both felt extra bad for being fat. We talk about it on the pod and found a way to have a little ray of hope by making a promise to each other involving rope and jazz hands. As you do.

We're back. This week's episode addresses a variety of topics including the day that Krispy Kreme caused a vaccination fat panic on Twitter, what Shirls learned from an intuitive eating workshop (spoiler alert: it's just eating, man) and hungry babies who have the audacity to be hungry.
Here's the title of the workbook Shirls mentioned-- it's a keeper!

Episode 4 Part II: Creeping Out of the Cracks Every Day
Here is Part II, dear listener.
This one comes in two parts, because even though Shirley and K are brilliant women, editing is not a strong suit. In this week's episode, topics include fat panic in child protection and medicine (a running theme) and the dreaded "shopping while fat." We get a kick out of ourselves-- join us for some laughter and a healthy dose of aneurysm-inducing content.
