Lindy West on what we’re getting wrong about weight

Seattle-based writer Lindy West wrote an essay that took the internet by storm called “Hello, I’m Fat.” That essay would become the 2016 New York Times best-selling memoir, Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman, (https://www.amazon.com/Shrill-Lindy-West/dp/0316348465) and later a Hulu television series. On today’s episode, Lindy, who is still writing and hosts a podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/text-me-back-with-lindy-west-and-meagan-hatcher-mays/id1713269318) , sits down with CNN’s Chief Medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta for a candid and honest conversation about living as a self-described “fat” person, and how the way she thinks about weight has changed since writing Shrill.
