I own two plus size stores.

You know, I'm here on this conversation.

If I wasn't fat, I wouldn't be here.

What's therapy?

No, I'm just kidding.

I mean, we could.

We could make it about you.

And we probably should.

So my internal narrative right now, to be honest with you, and...

I'm afraid to be like radically honest sometimes because of, as we were saying, this like loyalty and this community that I've built and this brand I've built.

And, you know, my internal monologue is as a influencer or sort of plus size personality, I should stay fat.

They are all getting thin.

They are all, every body positive influencer that's like made anything of themselves is on a GLP-1 and they're losing weight.

So a part of me is like, this is great for business that I'm the fattest I've ever been because I can capitalize on that and be that beacon of hope for people that feel like they're losing the people that they see right and left.

My own internal dialogue about like myself and who I think I am and like how I value myself really has nothing to do with my body.

It has to do with how I treat people and my relationships and my accomplishments.

And I would say that in general, it's like very positive.

But I think that the underlying, like what I describe as like a NASDAQ ticker, the NASDAQ ticker of my life is

has always been that I should lose weight.

So while I have always been told that I should be confident and walk into any room like I own it and that I'm beautiful, it has always been, and if you could get a little thinner, that would be great.
