🎉 Welcome back to Born This Weigh!
We’re Kari and Lisa — two moms, 150+ pounds lighter, still untangling what it means to love ourselves in a world that never missed a chance to body-shame us.

This week’s episode dives into:

🎬 John Candy & The Caretaker Archetype — gentle giants, funny fat men, and what it costs to make everyone else comfortable while forgetting yourself. We break down (literally) fall 2025's hugely popular documentary John Candy: I Like Me.

🍩 Food As Love — dessert rooms, cookie tables, and Dairy Queen orders that double as grief rituals. How comfort food became our love language (and our emotional support system).

💪 Fitness While Fat — Tough Mudder stories, muddy miracles, and why showing up sweaty in the middle of the journey beats waiting for a perfect “after.”

If you’ve ever cried over John Candy, survived a family buffet, or tried to exercise while your thighs started a small fire, this one’s for you.

🍸 Non-Scale Victories IRL — Kari goes solo to a DC bar, gets hit on mid–Cubs win, and still chooses herself (and her step goals).
💪 Confidence-Fueled Weight Loss — running while fat, pushing through gym fear, and learning that body confidence starts way before goal weight.

If you’ve ever tried to juggle motherhood, gym anxiety, and a messy weight loss journey — this one’s for you.

This week’s episode dives into:

🐙 Ursula the Sea Witch — why The Little Mermaid’s villain might actually be the OG fat femme icon (and the only “representation” we got as kids).

👗 Clothes Shopping Trauma — shrink-wrapped torso chic, mall meltdowns, and why accessories were the only things fat girls could buy while friends tried on jeans.

💄 Fat Femininity Gatekept — from pink feeling “off-limits” to cosplaying pretty for a night out, we talk about what it’s like when softness, daintiness, and desirability never feel fully on the table.

If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at Disney villains, sweated through a popcorn shirt, or wondered if you were less feminine because of your weight, this one’s for you.

💛 Ursula was right. Popcorn shirts were wrong. And somehow, we’re still talking about it.
