FAT. Why is it so hard to talk about, or even say out loud? We dig into it with this week’s guest, Atlanta-based comedian, Ally Edge.  She shares with us her story of losing over 130lbs, her decision to get weight-loss surgery, and how it feels being on the other side. We look at how dating and fashion has changed for her, and discuss the stigma of deciding to use tools for weight-loss (i.e. surgery, Ozempic). You can follow Ally on Instagram at @allyedge.

This week’s episode features actor and comedian Vas Sanchez, recent winner of the Atlanta comedy weight loss competition. Vas sits down with us and shares what his winning regimen looks like and how positive self-talk can make all the difference. We look at how his relationship with food has changed, bond over the struggle to find clothes as big guys, and learn that eating 129 chicken wings is still not enough to win a contest. You can catch Vas all over Atlanta performing standup. He hosts monthly shows at Elsewhere Brewing (Third Monday), Three Taverns (Last Wednesday), and Second Self Brewing (Last Friday).
