164: The Chunky Thigh Episode (Season 7, Episode 5)

Okay, today I’m talking about something that has really been in my face lately: at the grocery store, in the doctor’s office, and more.

Are you ready?

It’s how obsessed people are with chunky thighs, big bellies, and other forms of round cuteness.

Not on me, of course. But on my baby.

Obviously I’m aware that people are into this, but just how into it they are has been a bit mind-boggling, particularly in contrast to our society’s messages about round body parts past the age of, say, one.

So in this episode I’m exploring how I think we get so into rolls on babies precisely because we force ourselves to think they’re “bad” when we’re older, when this slippage begins, and how we can reclaim some of that loving energy for ourselves at any age.
