What are the different levels of fat? It can be hard to understand what someone means when they say "fat" because everyone has their version. You have probably heard terms like "straight-sized", "plus-sized," "small fat," "infinifat," and so on — or "Fategories." Oh, wait. "Fategories"? Is there such a thing? You might wonder, "Why do we need these terms?" In this episode, we will dive into that based on Linda's work from Fluffy Kitten Party. Let's talk about the diverse experiences of each level, such as weight stigma, criticisms, sizes, accessibility, and more. Tune in, and let's have a bit of understanding and awareness about the different levels of fat and the appropriate terms to use — words that feel right for you. I will put the link below because there is way more in this blog post that Linda has written. Also, we'll touch on a term you might find interesting; "Death Fat," by Leslie Kinzel in 2008, where she talks about her experience of being morbidly fat on the BMI scale. Please stick with me because there's more to that. Check out Lesley's blog post below for the full story behind this term.

I've been watching many TV shows lately, and it got me thinking about how body sizes are portrayed in movies and their impact on us.

How about Miss Piggy from The Muppets or Ray from My Mad Fat Diary? Let's chat about how these characters are portrayed, how media can affect how we view our bodies, and how we can shift our perspective to embrace body positivity.

Have you ever read the serving size on a food packet and wondered whether it was realistic? Well, you're not alone. It can be confusing and inconsistent, making us feel dissatisfied about food.

Of course, I'll talk about intuitive eating, which helps us listen to our bodies and guides us to the suitable portion sizes and nutrients we need. You may be surprised that focusing on how we feel after eating is better than counting every bite!

Do you ever find yourself mindlessly snacking or reaching for food without even realizing it? Many of us eat on autopilot, which means we eat without being fully aware of what we're doing or why we're doing it.

In this episode, I will talk about the reasoning behind mindless eating, give some simple tips to be more mindful of your food choices, and discuss how intuitive eating can shift your relationship with food and your body.

Why do people drink alcohol? To celebrate? To escape reality? Or to feel something else? Why do we turn to alcohol as a means to destress? And have you ever noticed you feel confident when you're drunk? When you drink, the dopamine hit from alcohol becomes addictive, and the brain relies on it to feel good, leading to a cycle of dependence. In short, you feel good when you're drunk. However, it is essential to note that alcohol only provides temporary confidence. It impairs decision-making and can have adverse effects on the brain and body. But without alcohol, how can we gain confidence without relying on it? How can one improve self-acceptance and mindset? In this week's episode, I'm very excited to welcome our special guest — Carol Urry. She is an alcohol control coach specializing in working with mums of teenagers and young adults. She has over a decade of personal experience and understands the challenges and pressures that can lead to relying on alcohol to destress and relax at the end of the day. We will discuss everything there is to know about the effects of alcohol on your health and family, address the emotional reasons for alcohol use, and provide tips on how to embody confidence from within without relying on alcohol.
