Perceptions of Weight

Perceptions of Weight: Gaining weight can lead to all kinds of new behaviors–avoiding mirrors and cameras, fearing ice cream shops and dinner menus. Host Frank Stasio talks with guests about how we perceive ourselves when we’re overweight, and how we perceive obesity as a culture. Guests include: Wendy McClure, author of the memoir “I’m Not the New Me” (Riverhead Books/2005); Martin Binks, professor of medical psychology at Duke University Medical Center; and Jean Renfro Anspaugh, author of “Fat Like Us” (Generation Books/2001). Listener Call-In. (59:00)
