Weight, Seriously?

In this episode, Cheryl and Libby dive into one of the wildest chapters of Libby’s life — the time she unknowingly joined a cult while desperately trying to recover from binge eating disorder. Through humor, honesty, and a whole lot of “wait… WHAT?” moments, Libby shares how vulnerability, diet culture, and the search for healing led her straight into a group that looked like OA, sounded like OA, and quickly revealed itself to be something much stranger.
They talk about desperation, grooming, shame cycles, the promise of “finally getting better,” and how easy it is to get pulled into something when you’re hurting and looking for answers. It’s candid, compassionate, and surprisingly relatable — a reminder of how messy recovery can be and how strong you have to be to walk away.

Cheryl and Libby unpack body image, dysmorphia, aging, and the lies mirrors tell us; plus the patriarchal nonsense behind it all. A candid, funny, and deeply relatable conversation about seeing yourself clearly in a world that keeps trying to distort the view.

Welcome to Weight, Seriously? — the podcast where we kicked diet culture to the curb… and changed the locks.
In this episode of Weight, Seriously? Cheryl and Libby get real about GLP‑1s — the wins, the side effects, and the straight‑up WTF moments. Part 1 covers Cheryl’s personal experience, and Part 2 dives into the insurance chaos: denials, appeals, waiting games, and the emotional toll. Libby brings her ED‑specialized therapist lens to unpack how GLP‑1s impact body image, restriction, binge cycles, and the stress of fighting for access. Honest, nuanced, and exactly the conversation missing from the GLP‑1 hype.

In this episode, Cheryl and Libby are joining Kaitie from her Unveiling the Beast podcast to talk about how all three of us broke up with diet culture.
We’re talking about:
How diet culture shaped our relationships with food and our bodiesThe rules we were taught to followWhat made us begin questioning those rulesWhat it took to stop chasing weight lossWhat life and recovery look like on the other side
Breaking up with diet culture doesn’t happen all at once. It starts when you recognize that the rules were never designed to help you trust yourself in the first place.

In this episode of Weight, Seriously?, Cheryl and Libby bring you our very official, highly qualified… book report.
We’re diving into Nothing Tastes As Good by Luke Dumas—and what starts as a review quickly turns into something much more real.
We talk about Emmett, the moments that hit a little too close, and the bigger messages behind the story—especially the ones many of us have heard before and maybe never questioned.
This isn’t a literary deep dive. It’s a conversation. Honest, a little uncomfortable at times, and very much rooted in lived experience.
Because some stories stay on the page…and some follow you for years.

Before the conversations, before the podcast, before any of this… there was a history.
In this more personal episode, Cheryl and Libby share how they met, what brought them together, and the experiences that shaped the way they think about food, bodies, and everything in between.
We’re talking:
where we started
what we’ve each been through
and how we ended up here—having these conversations together
It’s a little bit of backstory, a little bit of context, and a chance to get to know the voices behind the mic.

There was a time when The Biggest Loser felt like everything.
Well… for one of us.
For Cheryl, it was inspiring, transformation, discipline, hope. She was all in, rooting for every contestant.
For Libby? It was more like… absolutely not.
In this episode, Cheryl and Libby revisit the show from both sides and what it meant to each of them at the time. From emotional investment to immediate skepticism, they unpack how the same show could land so differently.
And now, with more recent conversations and exposés bringing new perspectives to light, they look at it again with fresh eyes.
We’re talking:
what drew us in (or pushed us away)
what it taught us about bodies, worth, and success
what we didn’t fully see at the time
and how our perspectives have changed
This isn’t about tearing it down.It’s about understanding why it mattered and what it cost.

There’s a voice a lot of us have lived with for years. The one that comments, criticizes, calculates, and never really shuts up.
We call it chatter.
In this episode, Cheryl and Libby talk about what that noise actually sounds like, where it shows up, and how it shaped the way we thought about food, our bodies, and ourselves.
And then… what happens when it gets quiet.
We’re talking:
the constant mental math
the rules that lived in our heads
the difference between “normal thoughts” and something louder
and what it feels like to not hear it the same way anymore
If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this just me?”…it’s not.

Before GLP-1s, before healing, before “we know better now”… there were diets.
So. Many. Diets.
In this episode, The Diet That Broke Me, Cheryl and Libby take a walk (okay, more like a chaotic spiral) through the diets that shaped us; from grapefruit mornings to fat-free everything, to whatever that one plan was that definitely promised “this time it’ll stick.”
We’re talking:
the rules we followed
the things we gave up (including joy, let’s be honest)
and the moment it all stopped working
Some of these diets were ridiculous.Some were harmful.All of them? Told us we were the problem.
Spoiler: we weren’t.
