The Thanksgiving Special: Pep Talk Edition
🎉 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, we’re doing something a little different — a Thanksgiving Special: Pep Talk Edition.
We’re diving into:
🦃 The Thanksgiving Freakout — why this holiday can feel like the Super Bowl for anyone trying to lose weight, heal their relationship with food, or just survive the emotional booby traps hiding between the mashed potatoes and the family drama.
🏈 The Game-Day Playbook — our boundary blitzes, plate-protection strategies, emotional-regulation timeouts, and the exact pep talk that helped Kari dominate a past Thanksgiving for the first time ever.
👀 The Commentary Crew — the side-eye, the portion policing, the “I’m being so bad” food talk, and all the chaotic family energy that can make a normal meal feel like a full contact sport.
If you’ve ever walked into Thanksgiving already rehearsing comebacks, checked your mindset like it’s game film, or wished someone would hand you a laminated strategy card just to get through dinner — this one’s for you.
