Introducing Weight For It! The show that tells the stories of folks who can't keep weight off their minds...

Coming Soon

In the premiere episode, Host Ronald Young Jr. is pondering his own desirability. Is he an eligible bachelor as a fat man? He seeks solace in body positive and size-affirming spaces and discovers something he finds a little unsettling.

Special thanks to Jessica Taylor Dicken, Mayra Meijia, and Dr. Caitlin Gunn
