Hey, hey, hey! Welcome to the Unapologetically Fat podcast with me - your FAT host Tish. In today's episode, I dive into an unexpected and emotional encounter I had at the beach. It all started with having breakfast with a stranger & her intriguing question: “Would you still accept, embrace, and love your body if you were bigger? Because you're not THAT fat!” This question sent me on a journey of introspection about body positivity, self-worth, and radical self-love.

[00:01:29] - Waiting to be seated at breakfast; this is where things got interesting!

[00:04:29] - The "strangers" question that led me down a road of all sorts of emotions the next few days!

[00:05:46] - The answer to her question.

[00:09:15] - The day after the question...

[00:11:17] - Pondering the question... yet again!

[00:11:52] - 3 things I walked away from this experience knowing.

Be open to conversations and experiences with strangers! You never know what might happen :-)

There's always a "message" - we just have to be open to hearing/finding it.

But the three most important takeaways from today's episode are:

[00:12:01] - Bodies change...

[00:12:24] - Body positivity will always have NOTHING to do with...

[00:12:43] - All people, regardless of body size, have inherent worth & dignity!

I would love it if you left a review and subscribed to the show on your favorite app that supports podcasts, such as Apple, Amazon, Spotify, and more!

Next week, unless another intriguing experience happens, I'll publish the episode that was planned for this week - body neutrality.
