We’re constantly getting bombarded with messages about our bodies: They’re too big. They’re too small. They’re not muscular enough, not curvy enough, and so on and so on. Rebecca has lived in a bigger body all her life and she wants the messaging to stop. She’s done all the things—followed plus-size influencers, deemphasized weight from her health goals, tried to rewire how she thinks about weight. But it’s just not working. In this episode, Carvell Wallace brings in <a href="https://www.ohitsbigron.com/big-ron">Ronald Young Jr.</a>, host of <a href="https://www.radiotopia.fm/podcasts/weight-for-it">Weight For It</a>. Ronald challenges the notion that we need to love our bodies and helps Rebecca navigate away from stigmatized “fixes” and toward a place of acceptance. If you liked this episode, check out: <a href="https://slate.com/podcasts/how-to/2022/01/how-to-break-free-from-diet-culture">How To Eat Whatever You Want</a> and <a href="https://slate.com/podcasts/how-to/2023/01/how-to-love-your-face">How To Love Your Face</a>.Do you have a problem that needs solving?
