Have you ever said, “Ugh, I feel so fat today”? You’re not alone—but here’s the truth: fat isn’t a feeling.
In this episode, we’re breaking down why we use this phrase, what we actually mean when we say it, and how diet culture has conditioned us to associate body size with self-worth. You’ll learn how to reframe these thoughts, recognize the real emotions behind them, and shift toward a more body-positive mindset.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ Why “feeling fat” isn’t a real thing—fat is a body type, not an emotion.
✅ The role of diet culture in making us equate body size with self-worth.
✅ How to identify the real emotions behind the phrase “I feel fat.”
✅ Simple shifts in language that can help you and those around you.
✅ How to respond when a friend or loved one says, “I feel fat.”
