Nobody Cares About Your "Health and Fitness" Journey

When fat influencers get thinner—and need to tell us about it.

Welcome to Indulgence Gospel After Dark!

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!

To listen to the full episode and read the full transcript, you’ll need to join Extra Butter, our premium subscription tier.

Extra Butter costs just $99 per year. If you are current paid subscriber, the remaining value of your subscription will be deducted from that total.

In these monthly episodes we get into the GOOD stuff like:
Why all the fat influencers are getting skinny
Is Kids Eat In Color anti-diet?
And did Virginia really get divorced over butter?
Extra Butters also get a comp to , exclusive chats and DMS, and dedicated Friday Threads.
And Extra Butter ensures that the Burnt Toast community can always stay an ad- and sponsor-free space—which is crucial for body liberation journalism. Join us here!

PS. If Extra Butter isn’t the right tier for you, remember that you still get access behind almost every other paywall with a regular paid subscription.

Corinne

Are you ready? We’re tackling a big one today.

Virginia

That we have been ambivalent about tackling, I want to say. Especially you? You have been ambivalent.

Corinne

I have been ambivalent. It’s a tough topic, but a lot of you have asked us to talk about this.

So we’re going to talk about plus size influencers, Ozempic, and intentional weight loss.

Virginia

The Rosey Beeme of it all.
