Skinny is back. With a vengeance.

We're furious. Listen, we are very much speaking from a position of privilege in terms of both being in straight-sized bodies, but approaching fitness and health through an anti-oppressive and inclusive lens, this is simply not good news.

Eating disorders and disordered eating are very much on the rise, as is body dissatisfaction, and the very sad truth is, is that there is no quick fix when it comes to our fitness,our bodies and indeed our confidence. Sure we can lose weight in the short term but what about sustainability. What about the impact of continual weight fluctuations on our health.

Confidence is not waiting for us at our goal weight.

There is nuance here. For some folks, the new GLP-1 drugs have been beneficial and more and more research is being done into their impact on binge eating disorders.

We discuss all of this and more in today's episode. It is a spicy one and we'd absolutely LOVE your comments or feedback.

We start the episode with the following quote from the wonderful Abbie Attwood:

"There's something unbearably cruel about living in a world where millions of people go hungry because they have no choice, while millions more go hungry because they've been told that they should."
