Ep 3 - A Big Fat Discussion (or When Harvey Met Harvette)

Pete and Gretchen start out with their usual glass of wine and tempt you with some incredible food descriptions. The recipe for the amazing no sugar, no grains, lemon, chia seed muffins can be found on Pinterest, which Pete doesn't have, so thank you Gretchen: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/122441683602844498/sent/?sfo=1&sender=122441821027568965&invite_code=0ea5163f98ff44faa5d8fa9ab59b08fe

The start out with the FMC rewind talking about how their week went. Pete updates us on his training and how he really messed up the timing of a half-marathon signup. Gretchen's "Views from the Couch" includes some television show updates while Pete shows his shocking lack of pop culture knowledge

Then the couple tackles a big (pun intended) subject - FAT. They discuss one of Pete's early blog posts called "I'm Fat: How owning a word is changing my life." The blog post can be found here: http://fatmanchronicles.com/2016/06/25/2016624im-fat-how-owning-a-word-is-changing-my-life/

The word "fat" is often treated like a four-letter word. Is it ok to call yourself fat? Can anyone else? Is "coming out" as fat ok? How does societal views/pressure play into the lives of someone who is fat?

The most important (serious?) part of the discussion is around the difference between physical and mental fat. They tend to agree on which is tougher to shed. And all of this leads to the best reveal yet from Gretchen when she talks about a childhood story that Pete did not know about. This story alone is worth sticking around for!
