Join Malvika and VP in this episode of Lost the Plot as they candidly discuss body image issues, toxic beauty standards, and body shaming. They explore the common "ick" of people immediately commenting on your body (gaining or losing weight) when meeting after a long time.

The hosts share personal struggles, including being called "obese" and told what clothes not to wear, as well as the challenges of being "very underweight" and receiving comments like, "The wind is going to take you away". They discuss how harmful comments from family, friends, teachers, and even gym trainers have affected them. They also talk about dealing with body dysmorphia and the struggles of sudden weight gain due to PCOD.

The discussion highlights that body image pressure affects men, who feel obligated to have muscles and a toned physique. Ultimately, Malvika and VP stress the importance of self-kindness, confidence, and healthier approaches like mindful eating and physical movement to break toxic patterns

Love the recent episodes! As a viewer, I’d love to see an upcoming podcast focused on identifying red flags in both relationships and friendships. It would be so helpful to hear your perspective on the warning signs we often miss in friends and partners. This is a conversation many of us need!

6:16 i’ve experienced this , the “kaatt vanna parann povum“ comment and know too well how these functions go , leave relatives, i’ve experienced this from my 12th grade school teacher as well !! teachers who r supposed to motivate you , she mocked my skinny nature , and face as well .wth is wrong with this society - as a woman u r always too thin or too fat or too old , or if u pass all these then you r called ‘pataka ‘ ,chikni and a host of other derogatory names for voicing your opinion

I respect your journey, but it’s important to be honest, body shaming clearly affected you enough to change yourselves. Saying “be confident” after surgeries and transformations can feel dismissive to those who can’t or don’t want to do that.

@eva._.03 9 months ago

9:50 This feels contradictory. You say people shouldn’t try to fit society’s beauty standards, but the constant chest-focused posts after changing your body suggest you’re still proving something. Confidence shouldn’t need validation.

always get the comment whenever i meet someone after a long time :body-blue-raised-arms::body-blue-raised-arms:pisses me off broo really

If ur trainer told u dont look like a woman and if u itself may think like a 8 year old body isn’t it better that people say the truth than sugarcoating things just for the sake of being nice

I feel like Malu’s pain and trauma growing up, is very real and she is still not over it - I can see it when she re-collects it.

But VP c’mon , being small and tiny growing up is not a problem. Like kuch bhi.
“It was so sad , i was so tiny , people could throw me around “ - yeah that doesn’t compare to being overweight as a teenage girl, at all.

But at 22 - that could be a problem - i agree 🥲
