This is a very special bonus episode for you to enjoy in between seasons. Season 4 will be arriving around April 8th.Below is a snippet of the written versions of today's episode, to get the full blog join us over on Substack.These are not confessions of a former fat girl, or a fat girl who lost 100lbs and wants to preach about how nothing tastes as good as thin. I’m not a fat girl with a somewhat acceptable larger body, curves in all the “right places”. I don’t fit into society's beauty standards.You’d think that it would hurt my feelings, but it was actually a breath of fresh air, to realise that no matter what, I will never fit in.On an exhale I simply asked myself, then what’s the point in trying? Who is all this for? This being the hunger, the mental arithmetic, the hatred towards myself for simply existing in this skin. Thank you for listening to The Culture Of It All! this podcast is a reader-supported publication.
