Great episode! I searched for the Weight For It podcast right after listening to this one. As soon as I typed the word “weight”, my search results were filled with variations on the theme of “weight loss.” Weight loss was at the top of my search results. Weight For It showed up in the number two slot. Seems like an accurate reflection of our culture.

I was tall before I was fat, so I’ve never had an easy time buying clothes that fit. Even home sewing is challenging. Standard patterns come with markings showing where to add the length in my sleeves. But the pattern companies that I relied on for my skinny teenage self do not go up to my current size, so I’ve had to find others. I’m so glad to have the internet now. I don’t know how I’d shop without it.
