[PREVIEW] When Fat Influencers Get Thinner

Welcome to Indulgence Gospel After Dark!

It’s time for your February Extra Butter. This month we’re unpacking content from Rosey Beeme, Brianne Huntsman, and other influencers who long identified as body positive, plus size fashion folks—and now are talking proudly about their intentional weight loss journeys. But it’s not a moral failing if you can’t wipe your own ass.

CW: This episode includes some unavoidable discussion of intentional weight loss and links to posts that promote it. Take care of yourselves!

Virginia

The Rosey Beeme of it all.
