One way to use humor to address weight insecurities is to make light of the situation. You can jokingly refer to yourself as a "Fatihunter" or an "Epicurious" when it comes to your weight. You can also talk about food and exercise in terms of your own challenges—as in, “Today I'm gonna slay this avocado demon” or “I think I'll let this one go, until next week when I'm gonna crush it!" By having a sense of humor and owning up to your own struggles with food and fitness, you’ll be able to tackle any feelings of insecurity head on and live a full life without letting your weight get you down!

There are a few approaches you can take to using humor to mask your weight insecurities. One approach is to joke about yourself and your body. This could include making fun of physical traits you don't like, such as your weight, or exaggeratedly showcasing these qualities. Another approach is to make self-deprecating jokes that convey insecurity, but also put the emphasis on levity and enjoying the moment. You can also joke about food or dieting, which lets you put the focus on something that's manageable and doesn't emphasize body image so much.
