In this episode, What is fatty language and when do we start believing it?
Kelli Wray and Vera-Lee chew the flab about being overweight and wanting to live a full life unencumbered by stereotypes and other's expectations.
Vera-Lee talks about the day the fatty language inside her head, towards her own self image and worth, changed. When she starting believing that her size might be the reason people didn't like her, or want to be around her, or even to call her by her real name instead of some taunts. She discusses how easy it can be to accept what others impress upon you when you do not feel good about yourself, and how you can help yourself to rise above the snide remarks from others based solely around your size.
She also discusses how fat can start out being the symptom of other issues and at some point become the issue for other health and social concerns, aka feeding the fat.
