IT'S OK TO BE FAT AND JOYFUL!

SOPHIA APOSTOL | @FATJOY.LIFE

Your body isn't broken and your fatness doesn't need fixing. It's the systems that need to change! It's ok to be fat and you don't need to change your body to be able to create fat joy in your life.
Sophia Says...

"Our bodies are not the problem. The systems need to be fixed."

It's taken Sophia a lifetime to release her ties to toxic weight-loss culture, embrace her fat body, and dare to take up space in the body she has now. The bottom line of it all ... it's ok to be fat! In this episode, we share our experiences of existing in a fat body and weave in our stories that anyone who's dared to exist in a plus-size body will relate to! In this episode we discuss,

The Emotional Labour of Buying Clothes
Falling in Love with the Word Fat
Shopping with Straight-Sized Friends When You're Fat
Why 95% of Diets Fail (and why that's a good thing!)
Identifying as a Fat Person
Reclaiming Your Body Identity
Daring to Take Up Space in the Body You Have Now!

Meet Sophia!

Sophia hosts The Fat Joy podcast, a joyful rebellion against anti-fatness. Sophia and her guests explore the harms, biases, and oppressions we've all experienced while living in a world that marginalizes plus-size & fat bodies and promotes the lies of Diet Culture and how we can still dare to have the audacity and courage to reach toward joy and live our best lives while advocating for collective fat liberation & body positivity.
