I don't know if we really even have a good way to define when someone is overweight. That is something between you and your health is between you and your doctor.
Ever felt the weight of society's expectations on your shoulders? In this episode of 'Discovering Our Scars', Steph and Beth dive into the often uncomfortable topic of body size, weight, and health. They tackle the cultural obsession with weight as a measure of health, sharing personal stories that challenge common assumptions. Beth opens up about her lifelong experience with being overweight and how it has shaped her interactions with others.
She sheds light on the pressures and judgments she faces daily, revealing the emotional toll it takes. Steph and Beth also discuss the phenomenon of pandemic weight gain, humorously dubbed the 'COVID-19', and how it has impacted people's relationships with their bodies. They share their struggles with fad diets and emphasize the importance of defining health on one's own terms rather than society's. Throughout the episode, the hosts encourage listeners to reflect on their own perceptions of health and self-worth.
They also highlight the significance of diverse body representations in media, stressing that healthy looks different for everyone. Wrapping up on a lighter note, they delve into a quirky story about a Guinness World Record pet theft, adding a touch of humor to an otherwise serious conversation. This episode is a raw and engaging dialogue that invites you to rethink your views on body image and health.
