BBC Sounds, Music, radio, podcasts.

Hello, I'm James Reynolds.

Welcome to the documentary from the BBC World Service.

In BBC conversations, we bring people together to share their experiences.

And this time, our guests share their experiences of

body image and weight loss drugs. The Super Bowl in the US is rarely just about football.

This year, President Trump described Bad Bunny's halftime show as terrible. Kim Kardashian and

Lewis Hamilton made their first major public appearance together.

And there was also controversy surrounding one of the adverts. In the ad, tennis champion

Serena Williams promotes a weight loss injection, saying that she is healthier, thanks to the

product. Her words have led to quite the backlash on social media.

Fans are disappointed that a woman for so long associated with strength and body positivity

is now selling being thinner as the ideal.

In our conversations then, we wanted to discuss the cultural pressure to lose weight

now that these drugs,

known as GLP-1s, are available. Later on, two men share their experiences of weight loss jabs.

Firstly, though, my colleague Luke Jones brought together four women who are all plus size,

Jordan in New York and Virgie in California, with Emilia from Ireland and Paige,

who's here in the UK.

I am a plus size woman.

I'm size 1820 and yeah, I've always had a bit of a complex relationship with my weight and food,

but in the last sort of few years, I've really done a lot of work to unlearn diet culture and detach myself from that way of thinking and behaving when it comes to food and dieting. And yeah, I'm in a much better place, like, mentally, even, like, health-wise now than I've ever been physically. Like, I'm doing a lot more exercise and walking because I enjoy it and like dancing because I want to go dancing.
