‘Being overweight doesn’t mean you don’t have sex’

"True Talk" puts people in front of the camera who are fighting prejudice or discrimination. They answer questions that nobody would normally dare to ask directly.

Alexandra is overweight. But no, she doesn’t eat all day and she also works out. However, she prefers exercising in the woods rather than at the gym, where people often stare at her. In this episode she tells us what kind of clichés she has to deal with in her daily life and why having the right weight isn’t easy.

Alexandra questions whether the kind of people who hurl insults at her while she’s out and about have ever considered how difficult it is to lose weight when facing so much hurtful criticism about her appearance.
