Plus-Size Halloween Costumes, Learned Helplessness & Fat-Girl Moped Theory
Manage episode 517657511 series 3688257
🎉 Welcome back to Born This Weigh!
We’re Kari and Lisa — two moms, 150+ pounds lighter, still untangling what it means to love ourselves in a world that never missed a chance to body-shame us.
This week’s episode dives into:
🎭 Plus-Size Halloween Costumes — how we’ve spent years choosing funny over sexy because of how others made us feel about being seen on Halloween.
🧠 Learned Helplessness — that slow, sneaky victim mindset that whispers “life happens to you,” and what it feels like to realize you’ve been the designer of your own life all along.
🛵 The Fat-Girl Moped Theory — inspired by season 9's finale reunion of Love Is Blind Denver and one unforgettably brutal metaphor that captures shame, misogynistic secrecy, and the choice to ride anyway.
If you’ve ever secretly wanted to dress like a 'lil ho for Halloween, felt like life was just too hard on “people like you,” or hooked up with someone who later told you he’s not attracted to you — this one’s for you.
