This week, we’re talking about plus size clothing, size inclusive fashion, and why shopping in a bigger body is still way harder than it should be. The episode centers on a viral size inclusivity conversation, your fat friends’ biggest clothing complaints, and the very real frustration of trying to find clothes that actually fit, flatter, and make you feel like a person. It also includes Kari celebrating a huge milestone: officially losing 100 pounds.

👚 Plus Size Clothing Problems Nobody Warns You About
We get into the actual clothing crimes, from fake size inclusivity and tiny plus size sections to straight-size clearance dumped into the “plus” area, one-size-fits-most nonsense, wide calf boot struggles, shapewear that rolls, crop tops that do not understand fat bodies, and the deeply insulting way plus size fashion still gets treated like an afterthought.

🛍️ Size Inclusive Fashion, Activewear Drama & Shopping While Fat
We also talk about the viral reaction to a brand celebrating sizes up to 7X, why some people still get weirdly angry when clothing is made for fat bodies, and how exhausting it is that plus size shopping still feels like a scavenger hunt. From Target frustrations to ugly prints, childish graphics, and clothes that never seem designed with real plus size women in mind, this one got personal fast.

💯 Kari Hit 100 Pounds Down
We also celebrate Kari officially hitting the 100-pound mark, what that milestone brought up emotionally, and what it feels like to look back at an older version of yourself with gratitude instead of disgust. It is funny, vulnerable, chaotic, and very Born This Weigh.

If you’ve ever searched for plus size clothes that actually fit, wondered why size inclusive fashion still misses the mark, or felt personally victimized by one-size-fits-most, this episode is for you.

This week, we’re talking about weight gain during a weight loss journey and the absolute panic that can hit when the scale goes up.

⚖️ Weight Gain During a Weight Loss Journey
We get into the emotional whiplash of gaining weight when you feel like you’re doing everything right. If you’ve ever had a weekly weigh-in throw you off, send you into a spiral, or make you question your entire wellness journey, this episode is for you.

🧠 Scale Anxiety, Panic Spirals & Trying Not to Catastrophize
We talk about scale anxiety, the urge to panic, and how fast one small gain can bring up old body image wounds, fear, and self-doubt. From weight fluctuations to the mental side of weight loss, this one is very real.

😂 Choosing Growth Even When It's Hard
We also get into the annoying reality of trying to choose growth over panic, plus the usual Born This Weigh chaos, including crunchy mom tangents, pediatrician side-eye, sneezing, spilled water, and pre-show nonsense that somehow feels very on brand.

If you’ve ever searched why am I gaining weight during weight loss, felt thrown off by normal weight fluctuations, or needed someone else to say that one weird week does not mean you’re failing, this episode is for you.

🎉 Welcome back to Born This Weigh!

We’re Kari and Lisa, two moms unpacking body image, diet culture, identity, motherhood, and the total mind game of trying to change your body without losing your personality in the process. If you like funny, honest conversations about gym anxiety, workout shame, body image triggers, and the chaos of a real-life wellness journey, you’re in the right place.

🔥 In this episode:
we’re talking about Jillian Michaels vs Body Positivity Activists, the viral debate, and why fitness culture still knows exactly how to hit the oldest wounds. From body positivity discourse to the emotional baggage we carry into every gym, this one got personal fast.

😵‍💫 We also get into:
gym dread, workout shame, exercise trauma, and the very specific spiral of realizing things are going a little too well and immediately self-sabotaging.

🧠 Also in this episode:
nervous system chaos, body image triggers, old fitness messaging, and why even the idea of “getting healthy” can still feel loaded when you grew up with shame attached to movement.

😂 Expect:
hot takes, side tangents, laughter, a little rage, and the usual Born This Weigh mix of funny, unfiltered commentary with way too much self-awareness.
