Hi. In today's episode, Katy Stoll looks at America's obsession with weight, how social media has made this obsession worse, and how we can be more empathetic and mindful of the pressure our peers feel to maintain a specific weight.

THANK U for doing a video on this topic. Everyone is encouraged to hate their bodies and it’s so destructive

Altinia Holdings Inc

Love to see Katy in the drivers seat! Cody is dead(RIP Cody), long live Katy!

As a fellow listener of Maintenance Phase, thank you for a great episode on this topic!! It’s taken me a long time to finally feel comfortable in my body and yet some people can’t seem to stop themselves from commenting on others food choices and appearances.

I just... really appreciate your words talking about ED. I've struggled with it since i was a kid, going days without eating or just drinking water without anyone noticing and just struggling along with it. I just didn't fit the stereotype so clearly I was fine. Even talking about it now a lot of people don't seek to believe me. I thought you've looked so much better and happier the last two episodes but felt like it'd be weird to commented just hope your stress levels are way down that's what it feels like from the parasocial side of it. I hope you really have found a space you can be happy with who you are body and heart.

Cody is risen. Verily I say unto thee.....

This one was a hard one to listen to, I'll admit. I'm a big guy, and I've really struggled with self image for my whole life. It's hard, because when you hear stuff like this it makes you want to feel empowered. But the initial reaction to use that as a motivation to lose weight is just redoubling the struggle with weight as a number. Being healthier is great, so you could use it in that direction, but some part of me always nags and wonders if I'm really trying to be healthy or just attractive. I'm probably going to be thinking on this one for a while. Brilliant work as always.

Trent Hanson

Great episode as usual lads! If I ever find a monkey paw I’m going to wish for a Katy episode, Cody showdy, and Warmbo episode every single week. And also I will wish for the Warmbo episode to always be 3+ hours long. I want to live in that universe.

Chelsea Seachord

Katy, I'm crying. I have struggled with my weight and self image for years. Thank you for sharing your story. There's so much more I wish I could say to you, but just know that you are loved. You do justice to every topic you take on, but this one broke my heart. I need your message today. ❤️

Miles Slade

Thank you so much for sharing. I just googled an old forum post I made on an OA forum when I was 14 and struggling with binge eating -- that was a sad nostalgia tour! -- here I am ten years later, still working on it. I appreciate your candor and your bravery. We are silly apes with oreos.

Erin

Dude, Katie. You got me right in the feels. Right in the feels.

Stephanie Kay

Katy, *awesome* work. Super valuable contribution and we love you very much.

Johnny A

Anyone else get sad when they realized it was bandages wrapped around Cody's head and not that he was going for a more punk hair style? But seriously great episode Katy! And thank you for sharing your story. I think everyone can relate to that inappropriately titled segment to some degree and hearing it helps us know we're not alone

"Imagine if we shamed people with other diseases" I have bad news about the prevalence of ablism. I started off my post-bach work in white/brown adipose tissue prevalence to heart health research. It was a random assignment and I had to ask to be reassigned one month in because it was extremely obvious the PI had ulterior motives about weight loss. So while the PI was doing horrible things to our mouse colonies, I was learning that weight has a correlation to health, but not a causation. One theory being that sickness makes it difficult to move so you exercise less and lose muscle tone (the mitochondria is muscle burns fat for energy), and also putting on fat (specifically) is one of the body's survival instincts. It does not want to lose fat. Body needs fat. If you stop eating, the body assumes there is a famine and panics. It will actually repurpose the pyruvate in your muscles before it depletes the adipose storage. The main thing I remember most about that study was that all of the skinny mice died and all of the fat mice survived. EDIT: Katy I forget to mention I really love your evil persona!

Do you get any ad revenue from the Patreon player? I just usually use YouTube because I know you'll be getting more money for my watch time.

There's no ad revenue associated with the Patreon version of the video here or on YouTube! We're just trying it out to give people options and see what they like.

Amazing video, I need a reminder like this sometimes. My mom's mom is pathologically fat-phobic, which resulted in multiple generations of women with disordered eating. Growing up in the 80s and 90s made it worse, of course. I don't know how we move on from this as a culture, but wishing everyone the best on their individual journeys. p.s. Katy your glasses are rad!

Steven Smith

Thanks for bringing attention such an important issue with candor, while disclosing your personal experiences with eating disorders. I hope this message reaches as many people as possible.

HOST KATY HOST KATY HOST KATY! *watches video* Oh no title monkey you let Katy down.

Michael Bentley

Very important episode and very wonderfully hosted by Katy. On a silly note, I always enjoy the chaos at the end of an episode.

Hannah

This was a good episode. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Jose Garibaldi

I watch the ads on Youtube for the bonus content

Sum Gi

Damn Katy, I respect the hell out of you. That was intense. Thank you.

Jackie Rekowski

Katy, I've always loved you but relate to you even more. I had an eating disorder of almost 30 years and since finally getting over it, I have struggled with my weight.

Chris Mavis

This is wonderful. Not to start drama but another creator I used to follow just released a very ignorant video that failed to provide any of this context. Thank you for putting my hopes that people will have informed discussions.

Xalimata

The first video I sign up to see early is a Katy episode? Pretty cool timing.

I mean, I like talking, if you ever want to chat I like to listen as well. If you want to, let me know, I'll give ya my info.

Jason Luckey

Man, its episodes like this that make me so glad I’m a “producer.” I love you all. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Jennifer Hiller

Did you consult any fat liberationists when researching this episode? Why did you include Lindo Bacon, a known racist?

I'm diabetic. I was on Trulicity, then Ozempic, and now Mounjaro - on top of the pills. My endocrinologist was trying to eventually replace one of the pills with Mounjaro by decreasing one & increasing the other. The problem is, the Mounjaro was always on back-order whenever it was time to refill, so I was getting four doses and then missing one before getting the next four. And then the last time, it just ... never came. So we had to restore me to the former full dose of the pill and go back to the lowest dose of the Mounjaro, because that's what was available. So ... thanks all you people grabbing up all the medicine that I need, for no good reason - you're messing up your health *and* mine.

I recommended this to a friend when the YouTube version dropped. Then I rewatched it myself. I spent my teens through late 30s bouncing between anorexia and bulimia. Now I currently sit at (according to BS BMI) 130 pounds overweight. By my own me friendly measurements, I’m 90 pounds over my recovery “happy weight.” And there’s a lot of shame associated with that, no matter how much I try to embrace my body for what it is now. I looked like a corpse at my BMI “ideal weight.” I’m decidedly healthier now, even though very large. Could I be smaller? Sure. But I think I messed my body up so bad after decades of trying to be thin. Maybe I can bounce back eventually, but I really think my metabolism is like “hold up… don’t burn these calories, this bitch is gonna starve us again.” 😬 I teared up near the end there, Katy. Thank you for being so open. I think this has become my favorite SMN ep (sorry Cody!)

I work on keeping my weight down and think about if me looking skinny makes other people feel bad about themselves. I have family history of heart disease and deal with high blood pressure. Eating lean and doing cardio help me a lot (heart palpitations suck!). Thankfully, I know how I get a lot of walks and stuff in, so I don't feel bad about a huge burrito every once in a while. Last year I had an unrelated brain issue and I knew I was doing "bad" about my diet and exercise. Wanting to get better overall, I went a bit over the top watching my diet and my doctor was worried about me being too skinny. I think I'm doing better now, definitely feel like I've hit a happy medium.

Tossing this out here. If you’re looking for a healthy take on diet and exercise without the stigmas, there’s a pretty good book that came out last month. “You Can't Screw This Up: Why Eating Takeout, Enjoying Dessert, and Taking the Stress Out of Dieting Leads to Weight Loss That Lasts” - by Adam Bornstein. Additionally, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “pump club” is very positive about diet and exercise routines while focusing heavily on not beating yourself up for skipping a day or two and how damaging it is to fixate on perceived failings instead of acknowledging that you are human and mental health and quality sleep is important for overall health more than dropping X pounds

Josie Altzman

Katy, we could tell early on that you were deeply invested in this topic, and the world is a better place for your radical honesty at the end. Sending love and light

Matt Ellen

Thanks Katy, I have been mysteriously, slowly losing weight overthe last couple of months. So kind of you to notice 😘

Kirsty

It took me a while to watch this because I knew that, if Katy were taking the reigns it was going to Get Real and ... like lots of people, too many people probably, it would resonate in a big way. And it did. Great on the facts and science and history and devastating in equal measure. From a girl who's own father would make her "weigh in" from 93 - 98, I stand beside my fellow "Well... food is fucking complicated forever" brethren with love and support. Thank you for the video, and the hand of friendly support. Another great video essay worth every penny of the Patreon pals

Jess Hrudey

I’m late to this one, but finally watched. You did such a good job Katy! That was a lot to painful things to share with the world, so thank you for being so open. I hope you know you aren’t alone.

I managed to get to this one late, but I got here. I have actually been trying to work through a lot of body dysmorphia lately and I have so much shame that I am trying to get through. I keep on getting little tidbits of things that chip away at it. One of the things that came up recently was a class that I was taking on runes that talked about value and how we use weight to determine prices on so many items. We weigh all foods and they are packaged to be charged the set price for the weight and if there is more weight it increases the value of the item. The same when we weigh gold. When it comes to weighing our bodies, there is this obsession with weighing less. I am not saying that we should all weigh as much as possible, but I am saying that we need to look at the way we value ourselves and find a different way of measuring our own value.

Aaron Brown

just saw this one get referenced in zoe bees essay on meritocracy. https://youtu.be/X6RcWUeHDk8?si=d-7rN48RhNoIqGP0 - reference is 47 minutes into the essay 😅 so good to see you all getting more and more recognition and such well known guests on the podcast. happy to see your success!
