To me, I have done so much work to liberate myself from shame and fear.

being raised in what we call Hispanic panic.

So constant fear of the world, of all sorts of things, and fear and shame is just something I feel like I've worked so hard to let go of.

And mostly it's probably shame around other things, not having a traditional lifestyle, not wanting children, being divorced, which is a new thing that I'm adding to my plate of things to be ashamed of.

So for me, it's like I just don't think that the shame, the way of using shame as a tool, it just doesn't resonate with me.

It feels really abusive.

Like it just doesn't feel right.

I mean, yes.

Here's the thing.

It's really also hard for me as a fat person to like be here and be like, yeah, I sat with Jillian Michaels and like, I kind of like, I'm kind of into it.

You know, I think this is a person and you know, I think the elephant in the room and we did sort of start to talk about it.

And even in that clip, I was like, wait, are you talking about the show or not?

You know, I think so many people wanted to see you in the documentary and like want to hear, and I know you've talked about it on your podcast, your experiences of the show.

And what I have taken away as well is like,

Again, meeting you as a person, seeing that it's actually very fun.

Y'all should try it.

Talking to people of different points of view.

It makes for very interesting lunches and dinners.

But, you know, as a fat person who did not watch The Biggest Loser, so was not personally attacked by it, was not personally affected by it.

You know what?
