There is a LOT of talk at the moment about getting our bodies 'back' before lockdown is lifted. This episode is exactly what you need if you are stuck in that loop right now. You body never went anywhere, it was there the whole time. Meghan Gilleece (@meggilleece) joins me to chat about body neutrality, how body positivity has been co-opted, OCD and how she finally broke up with diet culture. We bonded over being baby emos and how society relentlessly dehumanises fat people. I talk about how having an eating disorder made me fear fat bodies and how Lindy West's book Shrill stopped me from being Fatphobic (if you haven't read it please do immediately!) We discussed about growing up with certain body expectations and how lockdown has opened up some negative thought/behavioral patterns again. Meg highlights how healing is never linear but it is always possible and the healing power of Social Media. She also talks about how losing weight does not always equate being healthy and so SO much more.
