Born This Weigh
Holidays Weight Loss & Flying While Fat
🎉 Welcome back to Born This Weigh!
We’re Kari and Lisa — two moms, 150+ pounds lighter, still untangling what it means to live in smaller bodies in a world that never missed a chance to body-shame us.

This week’s episode focuses on two heavy-hitting, very real topics:
🎄 Holiday Weight Loss
Why December isn’t a moral test, how “everyone gains weight over the holidays” became a cultural rule, and what changes when you stop waiting for January and stay intentional through potlucks, grazing, and nonstop food noise.
✈️ Flying While Fat
Seatbelt extenders, hyper-visibility, fear of judgment, and the deep anxiety of navigating air travel in a bigger body — plus how those experiences can quietly limit adventure if you let them.
We also talk clean-plate conditioning, obligation eating, and why shame has no place in holiday weight loss.
If holiday eating stresses you out, travel feels emotionally loaded, or you’ve ever felt like your body had to be managed for other people’s comfort — this episode is for you.
