So just to say that.

After Poor, I said, I'm done.

Like, I don't want to share any more personal stuff.

But I share a lot on social media and I talk a lot about my body on social media.

I have loads of women followers and some men.

And I chat a lot about how I live in this space where I really appreciate my body.

I really am proud of it.

I feel of all it's done for me and all it does for me.

But in the same breath, I think...

these critical thoughts.

I wish it was smaller.

I wish it was less lined.

I wish my bum wasn't that big.

I wish it would perform better.

And it kind of got me thinking a lot about, whenever I share about this on social media, I get a barrage of responses to it.

But then I'm also living in this world, Matt, where a lot of my friends where I come from, who are poor women, women who come from working class communities, a lot of them are engaging in like

flying to Turkey, getting gastric bands, getting gastric sleeves, I got a gastric band, like engaging in really kind of scary behaviours in order to try to shrink themselves.

And sometimes when you have a story in you, you just need to tell it.

And so hungry kind of emerged from this observation that where I come from in terms of my social class, the trauma of experience in my childhood, they all affected how I felt about my body.

And also the world in which I live in, which tells women they should be a certain shape or size.
