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!
To listen to the full episode and read the full transcript, you’ll need to join Extra Butter, our premium subscription tier.
Extra Butter now costs just $99 per year. If you are current paid subscriber, the remaining value of your subscription will be deducted from that total. We’ve had some (very understandable!) confusion about this, so I asked Substack to break it down:
If you JUST subscribed (like, yesterday) for $50, you’ll take that full $50 off the Extra Butter price.
If you’re halfway through your annual membership, you’ll get $25 off the Extra Butter price.
If you’re at some other point in your subscription, or paying monthly, your mileage will vary, but you’ll still get some kind of discount.
No matter when you joined us, upgrading to Extra Butter extends your subscription by a full year. You’ll be renewing your membership AND getting more content.
In addition to these monthly episodes (where we get into juicy stuff like the anti-diet to alt-right pipeline, a truly bonkers TikTok diet and my post-divorce body), you’ll also get a comp to
and access to our monthly live thread discussions — our next one is Monday at 12pm Eastern!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!

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.
