This was chef’s kiss perfection. 👏 The mix of hard truths, humor, and self-awareness you bring to this conversation is exactly why your writing hits so deep.
The cultural conditioning around bodies is so baked in (pun intended) that even when we know the system is rigged, it’s still hard to untangle from it. And yeah, the wellness-to-diet pipeline is a slick, sneaky little monster. The way you framed "permission to stay fat" as an act of rebellion? 🔥 That’s the kind of reframing we need more of.
Also, Hot Fat Guy Summer deserves its own merch line. Just saying we should build that.
Thanks for this. Keep doing what you do—your words are shifting perspectives in a way that’s way more powerful than another round of “new year, new me” nonsense.
