🎉 Welcome back to Born This Weigh!

We’re Kari and Lisa, two moms, 160+ pounds lighter, still untangling what it means to live fully in bodies that are changing after a lifetime of diet culture, public commentary, and learning to scan every room for proof we don’t belong.

This week’s episode dives into Netflix’s #1 documentary and involves a full conversation about fashion, identity, and shopping trauma.

📺 America’s Next Top Model & Reality TV Cruelty
We watched Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model and had a lot to say. From fat shaming and public weigh-ins to “it was the times” defenses, we unpack what it was like to rewatch a cultural phenomenon that shaped body image for an entire generation.

🛍️ Plus-Size Fashion & Shopping Trauma
Kari is down 90 pounds and walked into a store to try straight sizes for the first time, and her nervous system said absolutely not. We talk fitting room panic, avoiding entire sections of stores, and how decades of exclusion do not disappear just because the number on the tag changes.

🧠 New Body, Old Brain
Why weight loss does not automatically delete the old wiring. We get into proof-seeking, spiral texts, and how hard it is to believe you belong even when you technically fit.

If you have ever stood in a dressing room questioning your identity or watched early 2000s reality TV and thought, how did we normalize this, this one is for you.
