When facing the prospect of recapping, I want my baby back ribs, we always knew there would be two angles to attack.

One, what is the overall effect this episode had on the lexicon of Boy Meets World?

And what did it mean to the viewer watching at home?

And two, selfishly, what did it mean for Will and me, the fatty fats?

In the past, we have briefly touched on our raw emotions with the plot and knew pretty early that both angles would need a closer look.

And we decided it was probably best to do it with a professional because as always, we try to be as real and transparent as possible with you, our dear listeners.

We've had zero discussion on pre-production for today's talk and hope that it's not only something that can personally help us, but might resonate with some listeners currently struggling with their weight or how they see themselves.

With that in mind, today's episode will be filled with talk about disordered eating, body image, and weight talk and mental health struggles.

If you think this will trigger you, we suggest skipping this week.

Dr. Hilary Goldsher is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in the treatment of trauma and PTSD and commonly works with clients navigating disordered eating, body image, and recovery.

We asked her to watch the episode, and she has listened to a prior discussion we've had about it on the podcast, but she has not listened to the recap from this week.

Let's please welcome Dr. Goldsher.

Hi guys.

So nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Thank you so much for being here with us.

Is this the first and only episode of Boy Meets World you've ever seen?

Really?
