Description

When you're fat you feel so different, because everything about the world (from chairs and clothes to doctors and dating) is designed to tell you that you're wrong, you don't belong, it isn’t OK to be in the body you have. Ameya and Pallavi discuss being fat—the pain, the joy, the learning, the dark humor and the silver lining. They talk about body image, societal norms, working hard at self love, failing at weight loss, loneliness, food, love and sex! You'll hear about their journeys to fat liberation and how fatphobia and fat stigma affect us all. Tune in alternate Sunday evenings to hear them talk their way out of the maze into the brave new world of loving yourself. You can follow @fatsopodcast on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Fa(s)t Friends

2021/05/02

At the end of Season 2, Pallavi and Ameya turn to the greatest aid in surviving fatphobia: community. In this episode the fatsos explore how they experienced community or the lack thereof, and how they felt excluded and then included as they have later found or built communities to offer them support, strength and solace. Spoiler alert: there might be a little role reversal *gasp*! --------- Follow us @fatsopodcast on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook Sign up for our newsletter so you never miss an update, especially through the season break: fatsopodcast.substack.com

Hippocratic Oath or Hypocritic Oath?

2021/04/18

As fatsos, health feels like the final frontier for all concern trolls. If Pallavi and Ameya got a dollar for every time they were told they would drop dead, they would probably have been able to start a hospital themselves. And that’s the experience of every fat person. Which is appalling given how medical institutions are meant to be a safe space of care and knowledge. And so we bring you this episode that breaks all records of ranty episodes, where we talk about handling the world of healthcare.

Mamma mia, here we go again...

2021/04/04

Continuing the mini series on navigating the world in a fat body, Pallavi and Ameya talk about family in this episode. While family is an important and integral part of all our lives, concern trolling from family members can have a massive impact on mental health. Find out how the fatsos have experiences familial concern and interference, and then dealt with their respective sets of parents and relatives. And, of course, they've got some tips and tricks on how to handle the conversations that invariably need to be had.

Hold your head high

2021/03/21

Pallavi and Ameya have talked a lot about the problems that beset us all in this fatphobic world, and they've delved pretty deep into the dark and painful sides of our lives. Starting today, though, they want to focus a little more on how they've handled it. How did they find the ways to beat fatphobia, to find their own styles, to demand their right to take up space? What experiences have Pallavi and Ameya had that helped them stand up and take their place in the sun?

Work in progress

2021/03/07

Once they figured out the goal of fat acceptance, Ameya and Pallavi began the long, strenuous and apparently infinite road to acceptance. This episode sees the fatsos talk about how they came to begin their journeys to self acceptance, what they do, how they feel about self work, and, most excitingly, an on-air argument!

Heal the world

2021/02/21

If there's one thing Pallavi and Ameya have both learned making this podcast, it's the important of fat acceptance. But, as always, they have differing perspectives on how fat acceptance works. In this episode, join them as they talk about their experiences learning to accept themselves and the work they still need to do. Also: truly epic rant.

For she's a jolly good fellow

2021/02/07

Nobody likes an arrogant brag, and humility is an important trait. That's why we make jokes about ourselves and don't like to brag, and respond to compliments with surprise and negation. But what happens when humility is humiliation and self deprecation becomes the way you punish yourself for not conforming to society's (idiotic) requirements? Pallavi and Ameya talk about their experiences with self-deprecation in this episode, and how damaging and dangerous it can be. It's not all rage though, there's science and giggles and how they have found ways to cope.

Nobody's baby

2021/01/24

Rejection is like the silent, smelly fart that seeps through the room making everyone wrinkle their nose but no one addresses it. It's subtle; it's underhanded; it's like ghosting in modern day relationships. You know you've been wronged but who do you blame for it? People, fat phobia, your own insecurities? And also what do you do about it? You've got to keep going back--whether it's school, university, the workplace, home and family or public spaces, anywhere that you are not alone. Ameya and Pallavi go back down memory lane to talk about the impact rejection has had on their lives, what it still brings up for them and the tools they have developed to deal with it.
