I wrote you a dear Beth email today about my complicated feelings on glp. Thank you for writing this. It is important for people of all sizes to read this perspective. Much love!

From one plus-sized woman to another: thank you. Thank you so much for giving me ONE tiny corner of the internet where I know GLP1 ads are not going to come blasting at me.

I counted during an hbo show I was watching recently. There were 6 GLP1 ads. Out of 11 total. Over 50% of the ads dedicated to telling us that it’s soooooo easy to lose weight now, you should all be doing it! It’s too much. Thank you for not doing that to us.

This was SO GOOD.

I love ice cream. Also, my husband and I have committed to sex at least every Wednesday, mostly due to you talking about sex, so thank you for talking about the intimate stuff. Turns out regular sex really helps a marriage!

For anyone who may be interested, I subscribe to and am a huge fan of Burnt Toast by Virginia Sole-Smith over on Patreon. Also a fan of Big Undies by Corinne Fay (also on Patreon - fashion!!).

Thank you, Beth. It’s a crying shame how many hours I’ve spent fixated on my body being too big and/or not the right shape. The issue has become less pressing as I’ve gotten older and more confident in my own skin (through many years of therapy and self work 😅), but I sympathize with my younger self, all of the women who struggled with it alongside me, and especially for the younger women who are growing into adolescence and adulthood with those same pressures and insecurities looming over them. We need a big change around this.

I ALWAYS love what you have to say, pretty much about everything, and support and respect your position to not add to the collective conversation about weight.

I only want to ask, what flavor ice cream AND could there be an outside of politics on the best ice cream flavors/brands with the particularly controversial, who's on board with mint chocolate chip (raises hand)? Also, really, really well said. :-)

Ate mint chocolate chip ice cream at work this very afternoon. 🙋🏻‍♀️
