Why Do Parents Think It’s Okay To Comment On Your Weight? Ft. Jared Freid

Sami and Aleen are joined once again by DST favorite Jared Freid to talk about his new comedy special and trying to maintain a positive body image while living with your parents. They start with a reflection on the Valentine’s Day holiday (including how to post about it on IG) and why we end up comparing our problems to everyone else’s. They talk about the challenge of living with your parents when you’re trying to lose weight (or not lose weight) as Jared tells a story about going to the beach and getting questioned about his number on the scale. Why do parents think it’s okay to comment on our bodies, and how do you set them straight about the way it makes you feel? They talk about the difference between what men fear versus what women fear when it comes to comments about our bodies. Finally, they close the show with a sneak peek at Jared’s stand up special and a conversation about dealing with hecklers.
