🎉 Welcome back to Born This Weigh!

We’re Kari and Lisa — two moms, 150+ pounds lighter, still untangling what it means to live fully in bodies that are changing after a lifetime of diet culture, food noise and learning not to trust ourselves.

This week’s episode starts with a confession: Lisa has never seen The Goonies. Kari, aggressively disappointed in her co‑host’s childhood, insists on a watch — and what follows is a candid conversation about fat jokes, pool avoidance and the media we grew up with.

• 🎬 Fat Shaming in The Goonies – We celebrate the film’s iconic adventure while cringing at how the “fat kid” is the punchline, especially the infamous truffle shuffle scene.
• 🌊 Hating Water – Why do so many of us avoid water? We unpack water aversion, from childhood insecurities to how body image and weight influence our comfort (or discomfort) with swimming and getting in the pool.
• 📺 Media We Loved That Stings Now – Beyond The Goonies, we ask: What other shows and movies we adored growing up make us wince today? How do we reconcile nostalgia with our growth and new awareness?

If you’ve ever rewatched a childhood favorite and felt conflicted, or you’ve struggled with water and body image, this episode is for you.
