A major part of moving away from diet culture can be embracing the bodies we currently have, regardless of our body\\u2019s size or how \\u201cacceptable\\u201d diet culture deems it. And in that journey, looking at and realizing our internalized fatphobia can come up and be a lot. In this episode I talk with fat activist Amanda Martinez Beck on fat activism, fatness, the systemic things that affect fatness and how we can embrace the fact that our bodies (and all bodies) are good.
