Love Is Blind Fat-Shaming, 15K Tough Mudder Triumph & a Halloween Candy Hangover
🎉 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:
📺 Love Is Blind and Fat-Shaming — we unpack Season 9's storyline with Joe and Madison's relationship, Anna’s online hate, and past contestants like Alexa and Brennon. Are these women really plus size? And why we still get that pit-in-our-stomach feeling when the doors open and the guy's smile fades.
💪 15K Tough Mudder with Zero Fitness Background — Kari recaps her first 15K in the mud. From the walls to the ice bath to the team that got her through, we talk about building grit by design and surrounding yourself with the right people when you're doing something hard.
🍬 Halloween Candy Hangover — how the season’s sugar surge hits different when you’ve struggled with emotional eating. We talk about buying it early, hiding it from our kids (and ourselves), and why something as small as a fun-size wrapper can still mess with your head.
If you've ever wondered what Vanessa Lachey thinks about Love Is Blind's size inclusivity, cried before a starting line, debated whether to throw out the candy bowl or eat every last Reese’s, (or ordered extra food for an Imaginary person) — this one’s for you.
