Summary

Remy and Emily are joined by a v exciting guest today—fat activist and content creator, Megan Ixim. Emily tells Remy how they originally met (Megan dated one of Emily’s friends), and how Emily remembers Megan as the first person to introduce her to the fat acceptance movement. But before Megan became a fat-positive activist, she was a 9-year-old girl doing Weight Watchers. Megan shares her whole backstory, including how she put in the work to not just feel neutral, but positive about herself. Throughout the episode they touch on it all: eating around others, how to get through bad body days (Megan’s pro tip: dress up and go to Target), the Ella Halikas and Alexa Jay club incident, and the use of the word fat. Megan wraps up by detailing her experiences traveling as a fat person, unpacking how pretty privilege affects how she’s treated, and overall sharing how yes, she is a fat person and yes, she’s living her life.
