The Getting Real with Hilary Show with Hilary Burns

Title: S2 EP12 | Fat Talk - How this Book Altered How Zach Kampler will Parent his Unborn Daughter

Today's conversation was emotional, educational and can impact our society and culture in an amazing way.  Zach has been my weight watchers leader for many years.  We have talked about food, losing weight, and exercise as if it is necessary to be a healthy and vibrant member of society.  

Reading Fat Talk:  Parenting in the Age of Diet Culture by Virginia Sole-Smith impacted both of our lives in a powerful and transformational way.  This conversation talks about what it was like to be treated as fat, put on diets, and feeling like we were sub-people.  It is an emotional topic for me, and also for Zach although he didn't cry as much as me!!

Watch today's episode if you have ever felt shame for not having the body or weight you think you should have.  If you are tired of fat phobia, fat shaming, and thin privilege.  Don't recognize these terms?  Read the book.  It is all explained in gory detail.

We also discuss Zach's upcoming show.  He composed the music and it is scheduled to be off Broadway on May 4th.  You can find more information on Zach's instagram:  @1Zachband.  

Thank you Zach for an eye opening conversation.  You are still and will always be our favorite!!
