  • [IN-PERSON SPECIAL!] YouTube Hate, Snowy Car Chaos & The GLP-1 Plastic Surgery Boom
    Jan 27 2026

    🎉 Welcome back to Born This Weigh!

    We’re Kari and Lisa, two moms, 150+ pounds lighter, still untangling what it means to live fully in bodies that are changing — after a lifetime of diet culture, food noise, and learning not to trust ourselves.

    This week’s episode was the first in-person recording! And it got exciting fast.

    💬 YouTube Comments, Being Misunderstood & Old Fat-Girl Wiring
    We accidentally discovered the YouTube comment section and unpack why being misunderstood, mocked, or accused of “doing it wrong” hits so deep. We talk visibility, in-group cruelty, and why this reaction is exactly why this podcast exists.

    🚗 Near-Death Car Chaos & Nervous System Reality Checks
    From truly terrifying highway moments to the emotional comedown after stress, we talk about how the body processes fear — and why sometimes surviving the day is the workout.

    Loose Skin, Facelifts & the “What Comes Next?” Question
    We talk honestly about loose skin, face changes, and why plastic surgery conversations feel louder than ever right now. What do you plan for when weight loss finally feels real — and how do money, insurance, and access shape those choices?

    We also get into gym wins, hot trainers, TikTok Live chaos, body image endgames, and the weird emotional shift that happens when you start believing “this might actually work.”

    If you’re navigating weight loss, identity shifts, fear of the aftermath, or learning how to take up space in a changing body, this episode is for you.

  • Quieting Food Noise, Tri Training & Trusting Yourself
    Jan 20 2026

    🎉 Welcome back to Born This Weigh!

    We’re Kari and Lisa, two moms, 150+ pounds lighter, still untangling what it means to live fully in bodies that are changing — after a lifetime of diet culture, food noise, and learning not to trust ourselves.

    🚨 We’re officially on Patreon. Join The VIP Club:
    https://www.patreon.com/c/BornThisWeighPod

    This week’s episode centers around three very real conversations about rebuilding self-trust:

    🏊‍♀️ Tri Training & Keeping Promises to Yourself
    Kari shares how triathlon training is actually going, including her first brick workout, the shift from “compete” to “complete,” and what it looks like to keep commitments to yourself — even when it’s your bedtime and the pool is still open.

    🧠 Quieting Food Noise
    Lisa shares her first honest update after the first few weeks on GLP-1s, focusing on what it feels like when food noise turns down, hunger and fullness cues finally make sense, and logic gets louder than impulse — without pretending the inner critic magically disappears.

    📊 Tracking, Not Tracking & Trusting Your Body
    We talk tracking vs intuitive eating, why trusting your body can feel scarier than controlling it, and how self-trust is built through experience, not perfection.

    We also get into gym anxiety, food aversions, brick workouts, and why freedom around food isn’t about discipline — it’s about finally being able to hear yourself think.

    If you’re navigating weight loss, food noise, endurance training, or trying to rebuild trust with your body after years of dieting, this episode is for you.

  • January Diet Culture, Starting GLP-1s & a Wild Plot Twist
    Jan 13 2026

    🎉 Welcome back to Born This Weigh!

    We’re Kari and Lisa, two moms, 150+ pounds lighter, still untangling what it means to live fully in bodies that are changing — in a culture that makes January feel like an open season on fat bodies.

    🚨 We’re officially on Patreon. Join The Club:
    https://patreon.com/bornthisweighpod

    This week’s episode centers around three very real January conversations:

    📅 January Diet Culture
    Why January is the loudest, most exhausting month to exist in a bigger body. From targeted ads and gym chaos to “new year, new me” small talk, we unpack why wellness season always turns into weight surveillance — and why it hits harder than people admit.

    💉 Starting GLP-1s
    Lisa shares why she decided to start GLP-1s as a tool for food noise and binging, the complicated feelings that come with it, and why other people’s opinions about bodies (especially fat bodies) are never actually about health. We talk sovereignty, stigma, and what people get wrong about willpower.

    🌀 A Wild Plot Twist
    Just when the episode feels gets in the groove… things escalate. One of us makes a decision that absolutely no one saw coming — including us — and it changes how we’re thinking about training, nourishment, and what our bodies are capable of next.

    We also talk gym anxiety, TikTok cringe, food noise as a mental battle, January bingo-card moments, and what freedom actually feels like when you stop fighting yourself all day.

    If January makes you feel exposed, judged, or like your body suddenly became public property, this episode is for you.
