| 0:00.0 | What's up? Hey there. Welcome to the Shaline show. Thank you so much for being here today. |
| 0:06.1 | Now based on my research and observations, this is a topic that you might not be talking |
| 0:11.9 | about, but you're definitely thinking about at least 70% of my audience says that they |
| 0:17.8 | think about it if not multiple times a day, if not at least once a day, they're thinking |
| 0:22.6 | about it more often than they care to. And that is your weight, your body image and weight |
| 0:28.2 | fluctuations. I want to talk about why we are so obsessed, so controlled and so consumed |

| 1:23.2 | obsessed with the Kardashians. But lately, I just find it so troubling that there's a |
| 1:29.5 | succession over their recent weight loss and the changes in their bodies. So apparently, |
| 1:36.2 | both Kim Kardashian and Chloe Kardashian have both lost a lot of weight very rapidly in, |
| 1:44.1 | I don't know, like last month or so. It's also rumored that both of them have had their, |
| 1:48.9 | or should we say allegedly have allegedly reduced the size of their alleged BBLs, although |
| 1:54.7 | neither of them have ever said that they've done any cosmetic enhancement to their back |
