The skinny episode

Kate Moss once said 'nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'. She was wrong. So why do Poppy and Rubina even care about their weight? And are they the only ones? From growing up surrounded by food as a love language to women's post-partum bodies to the awful inner voice that says you're never enough, there are so many ways in which women are made to feel bad about themselves and Poppy and Rubina have had enough! Why are we like this even when we know it's wrong? Poppy and Rubina chew the fat on why skinny is such a preoccupation for them both. Have a message for Poppy and Rubina? If you’re over 16, you can message the BGDIT team via WhatsApp for free on 07968100822.
