Welcome to Dear Prudence, I'm your Prudence,

Jain Desman Harris.

Today we'll be offering advice on how to handle unwanted comments about Ozemphic

fueled weight loss, how to get people to stop talking so much, and how to survive the

trauma associated with

seeing a person with tattoos and underarm hair at a wedding.

Here to help me out is the writer and podcaster

Aubrey Gordon, who you may also know

as you are a fat friend.

Her first book is what we don't talk about

when we talk about fat and her second is the New York Times bestseller

you just need to lose weight and 19 other myths about fat people. She's also the

co-host of the maintenance

phase podcast. Welcome to the show Aubrey. Thank you so much for having me. This is

such a joy. I'm thrilled to have you here. I'm absolutely thrilled. You're

definitely one of those people who I feel like I already

know because I've heard your voice over the years for so long. Yeah and we're

seeing each other eye to eye for the first time here on Zoom. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, what a joy you're one of the people that I have for with like very little basis a great deal of Twitter fondness for.

Oh, that means what? It's like a real breath of fresh air on,

you know, in the middle of like a car fire is when it goes on Twitter.

So I'm like, thanks for that, appreciate it.
