It's never easy to hear that the people we love, our family and friends are the first people to judge us. Here in the Philippines it's not uncommon to hear our relatives or even our parents say negative things about our size or weight. Sometimes they think it's just a form of endearment or playful banter. But the truth is, we just get so used to these hurtful words that we become immune. It takes years and years of practice but is being immune to fat shaming really the answer to our happiness? It took us more or less than a decade to finally speak up and tell our oppressors to STOP. But we got there eventually and so will you. Know more about our story and how we made it through in this very personal Fatventure episode.
