Ep. 1505 - The Real Reason “Am I Racist?” Was Snubbed By The Oscars
Hi, my name is Virgie Tovar, and I'm the author of You Have the Right to Remain Fat, as well as a few other books on fat positivity and body acceptance. When I think about what people might be surprised by or what you wouldn't think of when you think of eating disorders, I immediately think of being a kid. I was a kid in a larger body, a teen in a larger body, and also an adult in a larger body.

Ep. 1505 - The Real Reason “Am I Racist?” Was Snubbed By The Oscars
And the message I always got from my doctor was, shrink your body by any means necessary. And it really felt like there was a sense of a don't ask, don't tell. So because I truly, truly, truly believed, right? And this is where I think the surprise comes in. I really believed that this was about my health. I really believed that my doctor was right.
