In this conversation with Serena Nangia we get vulnerable. I think part of the reason for that was this book, 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl by Mona Awad, was personal and triggering. Having said that, we both had really different perspectives because Serena never dieted and grew up in a household with someone who struggled with an eating disorder whereas, I had an eating disorder and spent a few years in a straight sized body. Get ready for a powerful conversation where we cover:
Serena's body image journeyLearning to take care of herself while lifting up the voices of othersFinding support as a fat personDating and having sex as a fat personThe thin gaze on the fat bodyTrying on clothes in a fat bodyThe problem with before and after photosThe fetishization of fatnessThe experience of watching her sister go through an eating disorderExercise when it is a disordered behaviourThe unsatisfying ending of the bookKeep reading everyone!
