She says she wants chairs without armrests. That's bad for the disabled. I'm a disabled veteran with hip and knee issues. If the chairs don't have armrests, it's hard for me to sit down, and even harder to get back up. If she actually cared about people with disabilities (she doesn't) she'd understand we NEED the armrests.
Agreed. My father is a veteran and he has trouble getting up and down without armrests as well. My mother also has bad back, knee, and hip problems (they're both elderly) and they'd be screwed without armrests.
Firstly thank you both for your service. Totally agree I was a nurse before various hereditary diseases got to me and I am now disabled. I use a wheelchair but prefer in restaurants if room is possible for that to stored somewhere and walk using my stick. I need armrests or I wouldn’t be able to get up. We still have our dignity and pride and to be lectured to by someone who can do something about their ability is just wrong.
I don't see why there can't be chairs with and without arm rests in restaurants to accommodate both needs. Of all her suggestions the chairs sound the most reasonable and cost-effective to me .
I was at a target with my disabled veteran father who has a handicap sticker on his license plate, I went to pull into a handicap spot and was literally cut off by a very HEAVY woman who did NOT have a handicap sticker m. I pulled up behind her and asked her nicely to move b/c my father actually needed the space. She told me to drop him off at the door then park. That she has a right to use that space due to her breathing being harder after walking long distances. I dropped my dad at the door parked and then called the police. Who had the woman’s car towed and a citation given….
I’m a wheelchair user and I am tired of these fat acceptance people trying to lump themselves into our spaces. Everything she listed is already available, but she wants people to be accepting of her fatness. Not happening.
Well all chairs being armless thankfully is not yet, if that happens I will never be able to sit in a chair not my wheelchair when I go out cause yay cervical spine issues.😂
Thank you! I have Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome, and walk with crutches or chair. I was sitting in a restaurant waiting for our table, when a large woman came in, pointed at me and yelled to get up because she was disabled and I was fine. She was so loud, I just froze.😳
I'm disabled and regularly use a cane to grocery shop. I was pregnant over the summer and every single time I went grocery shopping there was never an electric cart available. Every single time it was an extremely obese person using the cart. Not one ever offered to let me use their chair. They watched me limp, pregnant with my cane, my partner pushing our grocery buggy with our toddler.
That’s so messed up. I’m so sick of these entitled people who put themselves in these awful situations, and then they make it harder for people with disabilities. 😤
I previously worked in healthcare, and my sister currently does. The way these people let themselves go, and we’re expected to take care of them is RIDICULOUS. I’ve had to use a lift to put people in wheelchairs countless times because they’ve been 300-400+. My sister’s obese clients constantly take the wheelchairs in stores. The entitlement to medication, extra food, and everything in between is insane to me. It’s disgusting
it never gets any less fascinating to see how these people want society and infrastructure to change according to their "needs" when a cheap, easy solution has been there all along... and it's called eating less
They are the ones that ate themselves past the normal size limits. They are the reason they don’t fit into the average sized world. Why is it everyone else’s responsibility for their bad decisions? If you don’t fit that’s a you problem, not my problem. It would be like me showing up to a different country and demand they change their language, culture, customs and religion to fit mine so I feel more comfortable.
Um haven't you been listening to the FA movement..... eating less won't stop them from being obese. These people got fat because genetics. That's right genetics came in and told them to stuff their faces to capacity on a constant basis with nonsense foods. That damn genetics with its incessant need to make people overeat😂😂😂
I work as a hostess at a popular restaurant and we recently had a group of bigger customers come in. I did my job as hostess and sat them at the first available table, to which I was met with loud complaints about the chairs being too small. I politely told them that this was the only table currently available, and the booth they were eyeing was reserved. I told them that I could seat them at another booth in about 15 minutes, and they accepted my offer. Later that night, we received a one star review for being “fatphobic” and “inaccessible” 😐
I worked at a "famous" restaurant (I put quotes because it's really only famous in the state I live in and popular in 2 of the states around us) that my dad now owns and the vast majority of customers were and are extremely overweight. The amount of food they order is insane (it can be somewhere between 1-4,000 calories depending on what is order...). The restaurant is tailored to accommodate fat people as it's the largest demographic who eat there. However, there have STILL been incidents where chairs have broken under some people's weight (and these chairs are hardcore durable, so it's astounding that they can bend and bust under someone's weight). It's expensive as hell to be forced to buy heavy duty chairs, booths, and tables that can support extremely overweight people and then be forced to replace those appliances after only a couple years of extreme wear and tear. You just can't expect companies to coddle you just because you refuse to do anything about your situation because it can hemorrhage money from the business. It's way more reasonable for business to buy sturdy chairs that will last 20 years thanks to reasonably sized people using them vs having to buy sturdy chairs that last ±5 years because of extremely overweight people using them and putting them under constant amounts of more extreme pressure than an average sized person. These people don't consider how expensive it can be to accommodate them. It's on the exact same level of madness as a smoker bitching and complaining that they can't smoke inside a restaurant and feel entitled to have their addiction accommodated via adding smoking sections with ventilation and ignoring other people's desire to be away from cigarette and cigar smoke because "muh rights" and "muh ego" come before anyone else, regardless of cost, the discomfort or distress they inflict on the people around them, or the disadvantages it brings to society as a whole. The argument of "fat people are healthy", "fat people deserve the world to accommodate them", and "fat people don't need to change, but society does" is on the same level as a smoker demanding the exact same thing and even has many of the same risks that obesity has. The 2 parallel each other in many different aspects, the only difference is people don't promote or fight for smoking cigarettes like people promote and fight for obesity. It's crazy.
@@sxatcychan1988 unfortunately not :( we are a family owned business that’s relatively new and reviews are incredibly important to the owners, so they apologized and offered to comp the bill if they come back
@@maddyh8801i will say that pulmonary hypertension is completely unrelated to regular hypertension. It is typically found in premature babies and is treated with viagra. I don’t believe she has it though.
I'll never understand the logic process when someone has a condition that may or may not be itself caused by weight but is certainly exacerbated by excess weight(PCOS being one example) and doesn't then immediately start trying to get healthy to improve their situation. Instead they act like it's impossible so they're not going to try and now they have this diagnosis that they can claim makes it not their fault. I truly believe we all have a responsibility to ourselves and those around us to be as healthy as we can be. Obviously that will look different from person to person and there are obviously health conditions and disabilities that cannot be changed. But being the best version of yourself is obviously always a relative concept, and I don't understand why some people are so opposed to the idea.
I was once a host at an Indian restaurant. I would politely try to accommodate and seat larger people in the chair section but they would often decline and ask for a booth. Once we got to the booth it was clear they weren't going to fit then proceeded to look irritated at me. Gluttony and greed fall under the same category.
it never fails to amaze me how they can afford THAT MUCH food (and takeout!) to reach that level of obesity... i can hardly afford to feed myself let alone eat for a whole family of 5
@@ImperfectionistGaming If you gain ten pounds a year for ten years, you will be 100 pounds overweight. Also, they may eat the same amount of food as someone else by weight, or platefuls, but eat foods that are more caloric. There are also differences in efficiency of metabolism, and of course, amount of exercise.
I’m disabled and the ability of the fat activists to consider themselves to have the worst problems in the world is quite fascinating. Thanks for the video! ❤
My two older sisters are blind for guinea pigs’ sake, and when I sent them this video they were LIVID. They were saying the same thing Michelle said, “they can fix their weight, people with disabilities cannot.” Also my sisters are as petty as I am, so they called these fat positive people whiners. I am inclined to agree.
Same here! It's fascinating in an odd way... well, Michelle's take on it makes it interesting! 😂 The arrogance and entitlement of that "plus-sized" lady is triggering!
As you can see from the clip at the beginning of the video, they've convinced themselves all the negative impacts of their weight are seperate unrelated disabilities they happen to have. So I assume they think they have it worse than people with _a_ disability because they think they have 27 of them
Heck yes!!! I lost over 100 lbs because i got huge with my 2nd pregnancy and the weight made my body hurt so badly. Turns out, I have a connective tissue disorder that is genetic and apparently I've had it all in my life. When I got pregnant the second time apparently the influx of hormones caused it to go haywire and it's never been the same since. I'm still in constant pain in my body is kind of a shitshow but having a 100 lbs off of it has made a huge difference. My body would have just gone downhill even faster had I not taken the weight off my joints don't work and my tendon are too stretchy so I have to make sure not to put too much weight on them because they can't function like they should and I get a lot of dislocations.
@liannemarie2504 So happy for you! I use to be overweight before. And I remember how hard it was to simply get out of the couch. When I started losing the weight and started to actually FEEL the difference- I felt like I was as light as a "feather". It felt so nice to feel light on my feet. Like a huge burden had been lifted off my body. I suffer from chronic pain it wasn't until I started to work out that I started to develop tolerance to it and tackle some of my inflammatory responses to food in my body. It's been a life changer. Dieting and exercising has been a huge life saver. I think it's so detrimental that these fat activists are so against dieting and exercising. When literally it has helped me to want to continue living. (I was in a deep depression before). My life is starting to have some form of balance between the highs and lows. And am so thankful I don't have the extra burden of weight on me anymore. I hope you continue to overcome things in your health journey. Am so proud of you! 100lbs is such a HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT. CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🎉🎉🎉
@@suzycanfly I totally agree with the feeling lighter! I remember I ran up to a friend to hug them! They lifted me in the air! It was amazing! I felt so free! Like I hadn’t been lifted like that since I was a small child
@@sagwa_jo_eighty_fo auto immune warrior we don't get a choice what our bodies do it's so insulting especially when you think how far behind the disability rights movement is!
Autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disease. I am still in the obese category but I’ve already lost 30 lbs and I’m 40 lbs away from being under 200. I love going to the gym and my health is improving with the weight loss.
Amen to that. I have autism/ADHD and the symptoms are crippling sometimes. I can't do a whole lot about those but I (was? am?) fat as well. I got gastric bypass because I had trouble changing my habits on my own and it was literally a life-saving last resort for me. I was like "I can damn sure change this!" and I can be quite stubborn when I make my mind up to do something. I knew full well that I was the one who did it to myself. I never blamed others for my crappy bad habits.
I have disabled relatives. Removing armrests would make it so much harder to sit down and stand up. Also bolted down tables allow people to put their weight on them to help them move. Her requests would be a fall risk for disabled and old people.
5 seconds in and I'm mortified by the cognitive dissonance. My sister passed away from complications due to pulmonary hypertension. She was told her best course of action was to lose weight to take strain off her heart. Incredibly sad.
The lady just needs to come out and admit that she just wants to live in the world of WALL-E. As if the movie wasnt warning exactly against living like her
Sometimes when you go to the rental lot all they have are the Large Bodies when in reality all you wanted was a compact or midsize. Just luck of the draw I guess. Completely out of anyone's hands.
i'd love to answer your question michelle! i'm disabled. I suffer from brugada syndrome. because of my frequent fainting spells, i have to use a wheelchair in public or i'll constantly get ambulances called for me. to be lumped in with this group of people is nothing short of demeaning and offensive. no matter what i do, i cannot ever become able bodied. i can't stress how difficult this is to live with. meanwhile, these people that can become able bodied if they even slightly tried constantly speak over me. not only that, they TAKE from me. they take the big stalls i need in restrooms. they take the mobility scooters i need in stores. all they do it take. the gluttony and privilege of these people is unreal! but people like me will never be heard over this sea of obese individuals. after all, there are 40% of obese people in america and only 13% of disabled people. we will never be heard over these people. :(
As someone born disabled, I don't want to be lumped in with this group either. They will never understand what a true disability is or the real struggles that comes along with being disabled.
When will they realize that human bodies are not supposed to be 600 pounds? I work as a receptionist in a hotel in Europe and they would have a hard time getting through the door into the rooms and could only dream about getting into the bathrooms....
I've stayed in places on holidays in Europe that I do wonder how the hell big people would get up the stairs or into the tiny loos! I doubt some would fit in the old style lifts, or the small shower units. Particularly an apartment in Paris which was up a winding stairway! (And in contrast, I've been to the US where you could fit an entire boy band in the hotel/motel beds 😜)
Michelle, I'm Italian and our cities have thousands of years of history. If she were to ever travel to Italy I suppose she would expect us to tear down everything and rebuild our cities to accommodate her? 😂
I thought of that while on holiday in European historical cities while getting into one of the small lifts that would only fit 2 or 3 average sized people. And then washing in the small shower cubicles!
Her suggestions about more space between tables would just mean fewer tables and less capacity/revenue. The restaurant would have to raise prices to make up the loss. She doesn't seem to get that her suggestions have major consequences for everyone else
I'm disabled. My disability is 'hidden' and it can be really difficult to get accommodations sometimes. I have to be quite specific and open about my disability, which I actually don't like doing. I'm furious this people come along openly demanding access to the things I might need just because they're fat. Also as a mother, absolutely no to the moving tables - a lawsuit waiting to happen around young children or the elderly.
As someone who was almost 300lbs. And had to get a surgery because of my body producing to much spinal fluid due to gaining so much weight. We need to stop glamorizing being over weight. I want to thank you for helping me over lose 100lbs!
I had the same thing! IIH! I got it at 175 lbs. and it took me three LPs and almost two years to recover fully and be headache-free. I did lose 70 lbs. initially, put some muscle back on after and I feel so much better! Knee problems I had for almost a decade went away after I lost the weight. Congrats on the weight loss and recovery! IIH is awful.
What I find most interesting is that just like pick mes the moment you tried to play to what thin people want they jumped in & attacked you. I don't think you deserve it but I can't help but enjoy the irony of this particular comment thread.
This girl 100% belongs on the I’m the main character subreddit. Expecting the world to accommodate you because you’re obese isn’t the same as making accommodations for disabled people. They can’t change the fact that they’re disabled, you can change the fact that you’re obese. Like stop making everyone’s life harder because you refuse to change. Plus she has a neon sign with her name. Idk man just get a necklace or something 😂
This past week a bigger woman sat next to me on a plane, and I didn’t think anything of it because it’s not a big deal. But when we landed she instantly called a friend, and openly sh*t talked me for giving her “nasty looks”. I was so surprised… some people want to be oppressed so bad.
Remember when restaurants and bars had a "smoking" and "non smoking" section? Theres a good reason thats not the case any more. Its enabling something we all know is harmful to health.
I am physically disabled. My mobility has decreased dramatically over the years. I'm frustrated she's complaining about her issues when she could change her situation. If losing weight would get me out of my wheelchair then I'd be on that diet like yesterday.
If I could move like I did when I was younger, I would in a heartbeat. Now I need surgery on my fuckin foot cause a massive ligament got torn wide open and found out I have severe asthma that aggravated around COVID, but I still make sure I can walk and go on long distance walks to work and school cause I'm not buying a goddamn car.
If she put the same amount of effort she puts into being a professional victim into eating less and walking around the block she’d solve a lot of her own self made problems.
But that’s just TOOOOO HARRRRRRD It’s much easier to just (literally) sit and complain about beauty standards and diet culture and expect everyone else to cater to their delusions to justify their obesity and poor habits instead.
When I worked at McDonald's a guy came up to the counter and said he wanted to speak to a manager. Then he proceeded to talk for 20 minutes about how the restaurant should switch out the chairs for sofas because they're more comfortable or whatever. Sir, you're at the McDonald's cash register speaking to a 21 year old shift manager, she neither can nor will make the decision to throw out 20 perfectly usable tables with chairs just to accomodate your asscheeks. This video made me think of him, and it really seems to me like Jae Bae's petitions are about as influential and important as Mr Mcdonald's Buttcheek's sofa request.
Caving into the ridiculously over-entitled demands just enables them to demand even more...not doing you or them any favours in the long run. Tbh..I wouldn't want to eat at a restaurant that's so obviously caving in anyway, and I certainly wouldn't be wanting to take my friends along either. Having to be around numerous grossly obese people in that sort of situation would be more than enough to put me off my food thanks!! 🥴😵💫
Nah fam, what she's asking for is actually super expensive overheard for a restaurant, better business to just not bother. Like, you gotta follow ADA guidelines and everything, but not all this
Bring your own chair? How much would they hate it if it was like kid's high chairs? Frazzled 14 year old host dragging the special Fat Chair across the restaurant because it is too heavy to carry, just screeetching along the ground the whole way as a giant "We got a Fat over here! Gotta make them comfy because they spend good money!"
It’s already concerning enough that a 14 year old needs to be in the workforce, we’re hoping for a limited duties if that kid is, dealing with the special chair shouldn’t be with it either.
but its not always. what if its an elder who physiclaly cannot move much? or in constant pain? And if they dont have people looking after them they dont really have coked meals to eat. just the sh*t in American grocery store's with like 20g of sugar for one serving. thses elders dont tend to eat much, yet still strugle with weight theres no reason to bring your own chairs. most places already have chairs that are optional with no arm rest.
this might be a bit amusing. I used to be a waitress in a sushi/teriyaki joint for a while. Boss specifically trained me not to give obese patrons certain chairs. Of course it was to make them more comfortable, but there was a legitimate concern one of our weaker chairs would just split apart from the weight
She is always talking about getting rid of armrests, but some people, including my mom, need chairs with armrests. She has arthritis and is recovering from a knee replacement. I have chairs in my kitchen with no armrests and have to bring in my computer chair for her to use. She needs armrests to stabilize herself to safely get up and down. If chairs with armrests aren't available she needs a table that is bolted down to use to stabilize herself. Several of Jaebae's recommendations would make the world less accessible for a lot of people and make spaces less able to accommodate to large groups of people.
Bad knee. Once at 90 degrees or better, I'm fine, but I lift myself with my arms more than anything else. Arms aren't absolutely required, but are very helpful in terms of leverage. I paint sitting and standing, which means a lot of arm work.
I'm also dependant on arm rests, sadly my parents are like Jaebae. It felt so vulnerable always needing my brother to extend his arms to help me up... As an adult, I build my life around my disability but I'm well aware it comes with sacrifices from other people.
As a woman with a neurological disability I would prefer someone advocate for awareness and accommodation for invisible disabilities with as much passion as these people do for fat acceptance. I need accommodations the government won’t accept because their accommodations are severely outdated and only adhere to physical disability. It’s frustrating to be lumped into that group for sure 💀

I initially thought the fat certificate would be for morbidly obese people to carry around like a card for an exclusive club. I assumed the next certificate they would obtain would be a death certificate.
I thought it was going to be for businesses or business owners. Like to be on a list of fat friendly places. I still don't know if I get what it's for.
This person somehow got this far without understanding that square footage costs money. The fewer people that can fit, the less money the business makes. Also waitstaff don't get paid for those trainings, they get paid to wait tables. Premium space costs premium dollars. But if she isn't money bags, then maybe she should take up the same amount of space that the rest of us do. The entitlement here is off the charts.
Why do these people think I should pay for accommodations for their obesity? If the plane takes fewer passengers because it has wider aisles and larger seats, tickets will be much more expensive. Why should I pay more? I don't obsessively eat, I don't want to be punished for a healthy lifestyle.
@@ancipital But not really fair. A 190cm man is now unfairly charged more just for existing. What about people with edema or other health conditions that increase their weight, but not out of being fat? And now everyone not anorexic and short is being punished. Body builders are being punished, despite not even taking that much more space than a regular passenger. One seat per fixed cost is the most fair. Being so morbidly obese that you cannot fit is a choice the person made, and should pay extra for the second seat, more than likely they can afford it anyway, that amount of food to get so big is a luxury already. And in the very rare cases they didn't have a choice (such as some health disorder proven by a doctor), they should get an extra free seat; those people are rare enough that it wouldn't impact the rest.
Agreed. I wouldn't want another person paying for my mistakes (ex-fat here). I feel horrible if I even think I inconvenienced someone. I knew I'd gotten myself into this mess so I had to get some help getting out of it, but I did in the end thank God. I don't know why anyone thinks being fat is a good idea. I was absolutely miserable when I was getting dangerously close to 300.
The reason why JaeBae is insisting that her 'size inclusive suggestions are small changes' is because these changes do not require her to do anything. The solution to all of her problems is to lose weight but that would require her to be accountable for her lifestyle choices and do the work necessary to lose weight and keep it off.
Being plus size myself, i am ashamed of fat acceptance. It isn't something to parade, it's a blatant health issue and one which i struggle with everyday. The last thing I want is an excuse to be an entitled snob, or to make people go out of their way make them feel uncomfortable. The change isn't everyone, it's in yourself.
I used to work at a fun center and the worst interaction I ever had with a costumer was when I had to tell someone they couldn’t ride the go karts because the seatbelt didn’t fit on them. Oof that was…an experience to say the least.
I never understand why most people in this group start with saying "Let me educate you" and proceed to say the most illogical, thoughtless drivel that any person with more than two communicating brain cells would disregarded
She wants us to be addiction friendly, pretty much, so we might as well go back to letting smokers smoke wherever since we're molding our world to addictions. Being fat is due to a food addiction🤦🏾♀️

I don't mean to be mean, but most likely I'd be nauseated to see her eating at a table next to me. Some people's way of eating would do that to me, regardless of their weight. So then how about my comfort level? Or is hers the only one that matters?

As a disabled person (Multiple sclerose, wheelchair bound) I'm so done with her. I know losing weight is fcking hard. Especially with a chronic illness/disability, but try at least.... The world doesn't revolve around you. Unable to lose weight because of health/life is one thing. Don't even trying is something els... I weighed more than 661lb (300kg) pure because of depression, sitting still because of my MS and medication. I weight 703lb or 319kg.... (BMI 125 Extreme Obesity...) But I tried my best to lose weight, even though it was fcking hard. And I lost 593lb (or 269 kg) after alot of hard work... Sweat and tears. My whole family is obese. I fell into the “it's in my genes” bs. Because that is simple and easy. But that is a choice....You CAN control your weight, even though it is really hard to control and maintain a healthy weight/diet/lifestyle it is possible and something she can control. I can't control my MS... It took me almost 2 years of hard work but I'm now 50kg-160cm/110lb-5,2ft. (BMI now 19,5) The fact that she puts being obese and having a disability in one group is insane to me. Don't ask other for help if you don't even trying to help yourself. (Sorry for rambling...🤐 I'm just really irritated with these people, especially her...)
That is awesome! It is so hard to lose weight with a chronic illness but I’m on the same path. I’ve never given in to the “it’s my genes” (it is) or it’s hard because I have PCOS (it is) because I always knew if I put forth the effort I could lose weight and I would readily admit that I didn’t feel like it. Now I do and it’s going well!
Congrats! The only pass I give people is what you said- it takes time and consistent effort for someone to lose weight. I would hate to be rude to someone who was making progress and getting healthier. Plus I think I just like mentally living in a world where everyone is trying instead of thinking the worst of people I don’t know.
So, to recap, you lost nearly 600 pounds in two years… 😳😵💫 that is insane and you should have a trophy in your house somewhere just for that. Congratulations, that’s incredible and I feel motivated to lose my own weight because it’s not nearly that much and I don’t have MS and I feel like you just shot every excuse I’ve ever had straight in the foot. 😂
I have pretty severe scoliosis and went on a 12h train ride across Europe. You probably cringed at that and don’t even have scoliosis, so for me it was literal hell. About halfway through, a pretty chubby girl sits down next to me, I’m guessing she was around 20. She saw me leaning over on the table and asked if I was alright. Then I explain to her that leaning back was painful because of my spine. I explain my condition and of course I complain about how annoying the situation is and she also complains about how the arm rests usually inconvenience her and I accept it because everyone is free to complain in this world. But then she turns to me and says “they should make chairs for people with scoliosis” and I laugh because the notion is ridiculous. Scoliosis varies from person to person, they would need to make a mould of every person’s back if they wanted to be inclusive with this. So I tell her this and through her protests I explain that I’m not the queen of Europe, I do not expect special privileges for a condition that I knew I had and a position that I put myself in, because I wanted to save money on a plane ticket. I told her that the world does not revolve around me and that’s fine because I can either manage or change the situation myself. Then I go to the bathroom and come back to find her taking to another person about how trains should have larger seats for bigger people………….
She's a real-life-Jabba. And it's not even about her being fat, it's... The vibes. The entitlement. Wouldn't be suprised if she started speaking huttese.
I will never understand how they put themselves in the same category as people with disabilities and then turn around and want all arm rests banished. Do they realized how many people with disabilities need the assistance of an arm rest?
I used to be borderline morbidly obese. It was awful and I blamed everything and everyone but myself. I couldn’t see my feet, breathe properly, depressed , angry, exhausted and was always sweating like a pig. One day I woke up and decided enough. And got real raw and brutal with myself. A year and a bit later I lost nearly half my weight and have never been happier. Jaebae will either die as she is (which is what I think the most likely outcome) or have the same realisation I did. It’s that simple It’s also heart breaking to see people that out of shape and not enjoying their lives.
That's awesome! Everyone deserves health and happiness, sometimes it just takes people a little more time and effort to get there, and unfortunately some never do. I wish you all the best on your journey. I know I'm just a stranger on the internet but I'm super proud of you and comments like yours are inspiring. Sorry if that sounded too corny. 😅🥰
I suppose I might be in the minority here, but I loved your out-tro “Wake up, honey, I’ll make you breakfast…” it was so cheerful and sent me off in a great mindset. I liked Barbie and the gang giving scenarios of restaurant fat drama, lol
The only way I can see this "certification" helpful is maybe for hospitals. Medical machines also have weight limits, so it might help save sometime for referrals. ^^ PS: Love your videos!! :D
I actually made a comment on one of her videos about her obsession with comfort. The problem is that people like her get to this point because they only want to do what is comfortable. If you want things to be better for you, and if you want your life to get better, you have to be willing to be uncomfortable sometimes. Changing for the better is almost always going to be uncomfortable. I'm in the process of losing weight myself, and dieting and exercise are pretty freaking uncomfortable. But they're what's best for you.
only 5 seconds into the video and as a nurse, GIRL YOUR WEIGHT ABSOLUTELY CONTRIBUTED TO THAT PNEUMO HNT DISEASE . I work with a little boy who is wheelchair bound, he was born that way, and he spends his weekends doing handicapped ice skating, rock climbing with a CP friendly harness, ect , he does soooo much and refuses to let his wheelchair slow him down. Yes places need to be more wheelchair accessible, but his family KNOWS how to take this into consideration.
As a person with disabilities, I do not want to be lumped in with this group. I did not choose my illnesses or disabilities, and they were not preventable. Obesity is often a result of the consequences of someone’s actions and decisions.
I’m half convinced she’s rage baiting. Given that she is now selling “certifications”, I think she knows what she’s doing. People genuinely want what she’s saying which is nuts, but I think she knows she’s found her cash cow and it’s grifting and rage baiting
Pretty sure she is. And I could tell by the first seconds of this video from the clip where she says the oxygen is due to a condition that has nothing to do with obesity. She might aswell had said “guys, I take these insulin shots bc i have a condition called diabetes which is NOT related to my weight”. Any person with an internet connection could know that pulmonary hypertension can 100% in fact be related to obesity. So yeah, I think she plays up this persona of clueless fat acceptance activist to get attention and views. Bc lets be honest, it works. There will always be that person who wont be able to stop themselves from “schooling” them on the comments. Thats how basically a bunch of people get famous today: saying outrageous thing that piss people off and make more and more people talk abt them (ex: fresh and fit, just pearly things, andrew tate…)
I mean fair play, if you've ruined your reputation and have no intention of improving it or losing weight, you'd have no problem becoming a professional rage baiting grifter to get moneyyyyy... Good for her? I guess 🧐
When I was a hostess, there were a few times that people got mad at me for offering a booth because I should know that they can't fit in it. I've never been overweight before, so I don't know what it's like or what is or isn't comfortable. It isn't most people's goal to make you feel embarrassed or uncomfortable. I don't think it's fair to expect everyone to understand your problems and I don't think it's fair to assume that you're being attacked when the "attacker" is just ignorant and has no clue what your needs are. If you want certain accommodations, you should specify them right off the bat :/
You can tell by the way this girl talks that she has been told her whole life by her parents that "she is special, she's different and she's perfect just the way she is" I know these ppl 😂😂😂
As a disabled person, I agree with her idea to post pictures of the seating and area. Then I can decide ahead of time if I should eat there… or maybe somewhere else. I don’t expect restaurants to change everything to accommodate me but I do appreciate being able to make an informed choice ahead of time.
I’m a 6’1” woman (gender included because of the issue with gender expectations, finding clothes, weird interactions with potential boyfriends/husbands, etc), the world is not made for me, I do not expect society to change, it’s my responsibility to adapt. Good lord.
Well, babe, it's not like you can get shorter. I would understand wanting like a hotel with an extra large bed, for example. The chick who needs help to breath demanding waitresses do more work for her is next level entitled.
I consider people like you the strongest indictment against people like Jae. Super tall people deal with almost the exact same problems as fat people, at no fault of their own, but for some reason they're far less demanding.
Being a tall woman can be hard, I'm tall myself (6'), so I get it. A lot of men will immediately rule out women of our height, but you really don't see viral TikToks of us demanding men date us (nor would I want that to happen, that would be gross and creepy). I am starting to realize body positivity has nothing to do with other bodies besides fat bodies.
@@kyrus4989 right? You know, it’s actually never even occurred to me to demand men date me, lol. I get a little annoyed at short girls being adamant about dating a guy a whole foot taller than they are and when society forgets us tall ladies exist, but I’ve genuinely never thought that anyone should be forced to date me XD. And yep, body positivity is ONLY about being overweight.
I have Asperger, I have taste hypersensibility, strong light and noise hypersensibility as well. Well I invested in some very dark shades, good earplugs so I can go to concerts if it is not too long and admitted that some places just aren't for me. I never asked for concert with decibel/lighting control or restaurants to have a non-spicy taste-hypersensibility friendly menu. And next? We will forbid the Olympics because poor short people will never be able to jump 1,90m? Not being a billionaire also excluded me from yatch clubs if anyone cares. Inclusivity means having a possibility to fit in the civilisation not that all the civilisation has to adapt to you because your needs are more importants than the restaurant's owner difficulty to carry on all your requests or other people who will have to compress to allow you to fit in
Oh and here I was just hoping for braille menus. I didn’t know I could demand all of these things. I find it horrifying when PWD’S get lumped in with these forms of bad advocacy. I’ve been a disability advocate for most of my life and the fat acceptance movement isn’t winning any points. Their messaging is absurd and pushes away allies. Also I wonder if her fat certification classes are accessible for those of us who are blind. I might have to reach out and check. I’d be amazed if it was actually inclusive.
That’s what I was thinking. Wouldn’t surprise me if we visit a restaurant in the near future not being able to read the menus or find our way, but who cares when it’s Fat Accessible? 🤦🏻♀️
You are inspiring me to become healthier, I've been struggling with bulimia for a while now, and you've been giving me the inspiration to fight my disorder no matter how hard it gets.
Wishing you good luck and strength sweetheart ❤ it took me years to get over my eating disorders and I really wish it didn't take me so long. Just keep trying, don't give up and I believe you will get there.
Whenever I see people like jaebae, I'm reminded of the years of my life when I didn't have access to 3 meals a day, and a brief period of time when I lived in my car to escape an abusive ex. She's spoiled rotten. She's a fine example of why people need to be told NO when they're kids. This is what happens when you don't tell someone no. She wants entire buildings and airplanes modified to fit her needs. She doesn't care about people who are genuinely disabled. She could do better, but that would involve self reflection and work.
Considering she’s complaining about how fatphobic plane designs are, and she’s saying this because she goes on multiple flights a month (last one I went on was 10 years ago), oh yeah she’s extremely spoiled and privileged. Most people on the planet have never even been on a plane before
I have Muscular Dystrophy, and no, I don't think we share a protected class with obese individuals. I realize there are usually psychological issues involved in getting that big, so it is kind of complicated. However, I would be overjoyed if there were lifestyle changes I could make on my end to make the world more accessible for me. I exercise every day with my atrophied-ass muscles, so I think that most people can find a way to work out. I don't expect everyone to cater to me either, although most people are pretty nice and want to help.
Fresh out of high school, I worked at a local buffet. We had plenty of booths, not a single one was bolted down (bench or tables). Large people would shove the bench back when the people behind them got up. The people behind them would come back and be confused because they didn't remember their table being that close to the bench.
This is insane! The Entitlement. As someone who used to be bigger, I will never forget the time I went to a restaurant, and I was so uncomfortable I was squashed between the table and booth. The first thing I said to my partner was "Man, it's time to lose some weight, this is embarrassing". I was embarrassed to even let anyone know I was uncomfortable, I sat there, ate and left. It was one of the wake up calls for me.
I am a male, 108 kg with a BMI of around 30, therefore fringing right on the overweight-obese border. I feel the excess weight and I do have problems with uncontrolled eating, I simply can not imagine, how anyone can let of themselves towards the morbidly obese and beyond spectrum and then claim that all problems they experience are from outside factors.
Im a woman and same way....im right on the normal/overweight part of the bmi spectrum and the extra 15-20 lbs i carry i can feel in my knees and hips....i like my yummy food and overindulge sometimes...hence the extra 20lbs but i could NEVER EVER EVER let myself go like some of these human tanks....its just wild what the human body can take
I also carry about an extra 20 lbs, and I've been able to get down to 165 before, but I was starving, working out, and still a wee bit jiggley - I was 24, and the hottest I ever felt. Now I'm 35 and definitely jiggly at 175, I definitely overdo it sometimes, especially with beverages. I cannot imagine how little work she does to be that big
Ex-obese here, I can tell why they let themselves get to this point. It's a lengthy text about personal experience. I needed a harsh wake-up call louder than my knees hurting (because I already had a chronic pain even before I got fat), Those people coddle you like no one, it's 101 abuse disguised as care and welcoming nature. If you suffered before you could develop fully, turning onto food for "comfort" is very common, and those people lure you in with this comfort you so desperately think you need. And if you have a difficulty in moving around (my chronic pain) and hormonal problems (that I had since childhood) that makes even easier to gain weight, it feels marvelous, it's like a drug and their enablers. I was most of my live overweight, so I didn't noticed at first. Lucky me, I never got above the Obesity 2 on BMI, and once I started to notice that I was getting trouble walking around for hours, I was like "wait, something is wrong" and slowly I started to notice how people treated me. Then I noticed the cool things I couldn't do because of my weight. So I ended up seeing those 600 pound life episodes and I cried, I cried "I don't want to be like this" (I was 200 pounds at the time) and the next day I searched for a gym in my city and I got into the one that is focused on older, disabled or morbidly obese people (the trainers are trained to be here to help you if anything happens) and now I'm having a little of difficulties in losing weight, but I feel so much better that looking back at my old habits I feel disgusted. According to my BMI I reverted back to overweight, and I'll slowly reach my ideal weight.
I am in my 60's. I have learned a lot in my lifetime. One thing I know for sure is if you do not take care of your body, you will regret it. I am considered disabled due to a bad back. I have had 3 back surgeries. I walk a mile 4x a week. I do Yoga 3x a week and will up that to every morning soon. The Yoga I do anyone could do, is stretching and such approved by my doctor. I just cannot get down on the floor because I cannot get back up. After I went through menopause I did put on some extra weight. When my scale got to almost 200lbs I said oh heck no! I visited the hospital and spoke to the dietician there. I am now at 142lbs and healthy. Moderation is the key. These folks who think not taking care of your body in any way shape or form is ok, WILL 100% regret it one day. See, like I said I am in my 60's and I get lonely sometimes because all my friends who did NOT take care of their bodies are dead. I miss them.
1. Im disabled and everytime they lump themselves in its grating. Its hard enough trying to get accommodations with invisible disabilities, i shouldnt have to try and squeeze myself through their abnormally large butts 2. Staff at restaurants arent even properly trained to handle allergies or food intolerances. I have celiac and went to a highly rated restaurant, i let them know about the celiac. The guy handling my food put contaminated butter in my fries and i got sick. If the guy working the back cant get cross contamination, why would you expect them to read, memorize, and pass an exam on the ins and outs of fatphobia and accommodations needed for fat people?
Lots of times while I am listening to you, Michelle, I’m doing something else like vacuuming or dishes or whatever and as soon as I hear a skit coming on, I drop everything and run back to my laptop😂
Amazing how these people seem to be oblivious to the fact that a lot of these problems they are facing are self-inflicted. You don't gain 200+ pounds from one Thanksgiving dinner it takes years of overeating and a sedentary lifestyle to gain all that weight.
It definitely did for me--it started as a thyroid disorder for me but I definitely didn't help myself. I laid around all the time, ate too much, and just didn't give a dang. Two decades later, I found myself in very hot water with my health. I'd give anything to go back to teenage me and beg her to just lift some damn weights once in a while to avoid two decades' worth of suffering.
I've been fat and had the dread of trying to fit into restaurant seats bolted to the floor. I didn't like it, so instead of whinging about it I lost weight. This morning I went for a 5 mile run - just to ensure I can fit where the hell I like when the hell I like.
Be afraid for yourself. Because these kinds of people are the ones either in charge or voting for people in charge to give the delusional people everything they want.
This kind of thing is so funny to me, cause businesses already struggle to incorporate people with physical disabilities (i.e: wheelchairs, prosthetics, etc). Like bro, if they can't cater to us, they are absolutely not gonna cater to fat people 😭
I used to be 298lbs and I deadass could not fit in a good bit of booths at restaurants. I specifically remember not being able to fit in my favorite Chinese takeout’s booth and I felt like shit! But 70lbs down and being able to fit in the booths ,is extremely rewarding and satisfying! Don’t get me wrong I learned to love myself at my heaviest but that helped with motivation!

She says she wants chairs without armrests. That's bad for the disabled. I'm a disabled veteran with hip and knee issues. If the chairs don't have armrests, it's hard for me to sit down, and even harder to get back up. If she actually cared about people with disabilities (she doesn't) she'd understand we NEED the armrests.
Absolutely! I need armrests to get up.
Agreed. My father is a veteran and he has trouble getting up and down without armrests as well. My mother also has bad back, knee, and hip problems (they're both elderly) and they'd be screwed without armrests.
Firstly thank you both for your service. Totally agree I was a nurse before various hereditary diseases got to me and I am now disabled. I use a wheelchair but prefer in restaurants if room is possible for that to stored somewhere and walk using my stick. I need armrests or I wouldn’t be able to get up. We still have our dignity and pride and to be lectured to by someone who can do something about their ability is just wrong.
I don't see why there can't be chairs with and without arm rests in restaurants to accommodate both needs. Of all her suggestions the chairs sound the most reasonable and cost-effective to me .
@@celestialcircledance But she wants them ALL to have no armrests. Anywhere. In airports and hotels, too.
I was at a target with my disabled veteran father who has a handicap sticker on his license plate, I went to pull into a handicap spot and was literally cut off by a very HEAVY woman who did NOT have a handicap sticker m. I pulled up behind her and asked her nicely to move b/c my father actually needed the space. She told me to drop him off at the door then park. That she has a right to use that space due to her breathing being harder after walking long distances. I dropped my dad at the door parked and then called the police. Who had the woman’s car towed and a citation given….
Whoo yes!
Don't you just love it when assholes get their desserts!
Hell yes. Actually hold people accountable. 👏🏻😊
Fantastic
Hell yeah
I’m a wheelchair user and I am tired of these fat acceptance people trying to lump themselves into our spaces. Everything she listed is already available, but she wants people to be accepting of her fatness. Not happening.
Well all chairs being armless thankfully is not yet, if that happens I will never be able to sit in a chair not my wheelchair when I go out cause yay cervical spine issues.😂
@@Memento_Mori_Morals Exactly, armless chairs make it so much harder for so many disabled and elderly people to eat out.
@mandiblackwell4668 That never occurred to me. Thank you for saying something so that I can know that now.
@@MissCaraMintSame!!!
Thank you! I have Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome, and walk with crutches or chair. I was sitting in a restaurant waiting for our table, when a large woman came in, pointed at me and yelled to get up because she was disabled and I was fine. She was so loud, I just froze.😳
I'm disabled and regularly use a cane to grocery shop. I was pregnant over the summer and every single time I went grocery shopping there was never an electric cart available. Every single time it was an extremely obese person using the cart. Not one ever offered to let me use their chair. They watched me limp, pregnant with my cane, my partner pushing our grocery buggy with our toddler.
That’s so messed up. I’m so sick of these entitled people who put themselves in these awful situations, and then they make it harder for people with disabilities. 😤
I previously worked in healthcare, and my sister currently does. The way these people let themselves go, and we’re expected to take care of them is RIDICULOUS. I’ve had to use a lift to put people in wheelchairs countless times because they’ve been 300-400+. My sister’s obese clients constantly take the wheelchairs in stores. The entitlement to medication, extra food, and everything in between is insane to me. It’s disgusting
So selfish and entitled!! Hope your feeling better and enjoying your baby ❤
I'm very sorry you had to go through that. stay strong momma
Unbelievable...they could use the walk.
it never gets any less fascinating to see how these people want society and infrastructure to change according to their "needs" when a cheap, easy solution has been there all along... and it's called eating less
Arguably money-saving too!
@@PinkSugar606I was coming here to say, not only is it cheap but actually cost saving.
They are the ones that ate themselves past the normal size limits. They are the reason they don’t fit into the average sized world. Why is it everyone else’s responsibility for their bad decisions? If you don’t fit that’s a you problem, not my problem. It would be like me showing up to a different country and demand they change their language, culture, customs and religion to fit mine so I feel more comfortable.
Um haven't you been listening to the FA movement..... eating less won't stop them from being obese. These people got fat because genetics. That's right genetics came in and told them to stuff their faces to capacity on a constant basis with nonsense foods. That damn genetics with its incessant need to make people overeat😂😂😂
But how can they feel like special victims and make everyone cater to them, if they take responsibility???
I work as a hostess at a popular restaurant and we recently had a group of bigger customers come in. I did my job as hostess and sat them at the first available table, to which I was met with loud complaints about the chairs being too small. I politely told them that this was the only table currently available, and the booth they were eyeing was reserved. I told them that I could seat them at another booth in about 15 minutes, and they accepted my offer. Later that night, we received a one star review for being “fatphobic” and “inaccessible” 😐
Even if you gave them their meals for free they’d probably leave the same review. Some people just love to play victim.
I worked at a "famous" restaurant (I put quotes because it's really only famous in the state I live in and popular in 2 of the states around us) that my dad now owns and the vast majority of customers were and are extremely overweight. The amount of food they order is insane (it can be somewhere between 1-4,000 calories depending on what is order...). The restaurant is tailored to accommodate fat people as it's the largest demographic who eat there. However, there have STILL been incidents where chairs have broken under some people's weight (and these chairs are hardcore durable, so it's astounding that they can bend and bust under someone's weight). It's expensive as hell to be forced to buy heavy duty chairs, booths, and tables that can support extremely overweight people and then be forced to replace those appliances after only a couple years of extreme wear and tear. You just can't expect companies to coddle you just because you refuse to do anything about your situation because it can hemorrhage money from the business. It's way more reasonable for business to buy sturdy chairs that will last 20 years thanks to reasonably sized people using them vs having to buy sturdy chairs that last ±5 years because of extremely overweight people using them and putting them under constant amounts of more extreme pressure than an average sized person. These people don't consider how expensive it can be to accommodate them. It's on the exact same level of madness as a smoker bitching and complaining that they can't smoke inside a restaurant and feel entitled to have their addiction accommodated via adding smoking sections with ventilation and ignoring other people's desire to be away from cigarette and cigar smoke because "muh rights" and "muh ego" come before anyone else, regardless of cost, the discomfort or distress they inflict on the people around them, or the disadvantages it brings to society as a whole. The argument of "fat people are healthy", "fat people deserve the world to accommodate them", and "fat people don't need to change, but society does" is on the same level as a smoker demanding the exact same thing and even has many of the same risks that obesity has. The 2 parallel each other in many different aspects, the only difference is people don't promote or fight for smoking cigarettes like people promote and fight for obesity. It's crazy.
Bless all of the food industry workers 😅
Please tell me the restaurant posted a response that called the group out.
@@sxatcychan1988 unfortunately not :( we are a family owned business that’s relatively new and reviews are incredibly important to the owners, so they apologized and offered to comp the bill if they come back
I love it when she says her breathing tube isn't caused by weight, but actually it is.
I also love that she said it’s not related to high blood pressure when it is literally a kind of high blood pressure.
She also said it’s rare but then says a lot of people have it 😂
@@maddyh8801i will say that pulmonary hypertension is completely unrelated to regular hypertension. It is typically found in premature babies and is treated with viagra. I don’t believe she has it though.
@@jiftedsigcamper… viagra?? Isn’t that what men take to, uh, give themselves a “boost”?
I'll never understand the logic process when someone has a condition that may or may not be itself caused by weight but is certainly exacerbated by excess weight(PCOS being one example) and doesn't then immediately start trying to get healthy to improve their situation. Instead they act like it's impossible so they're not going to try and now they have this diagnosis that they can claim makes it not their fault. I truly believe we all have a responsibility to ourselves and those around us to be as healthy as we can be. Obviously that will look different from person to person and there are obviously health conditions and disabilities that cannot be changed. But being the best version of yourself is obviously always a relative concept, and I don't understand why some people are so opposed to the idea.
I was once a host at an Indian restaurant. I would politely try to accommodate and seat larger people in the chair section but they would often decline and ask for a booth. Once we got to the booth it was clear they weren't going to fit then proceeded to look irritated at me. Gluttony and greed fall under the same category.
Disgusting people....
it never fails to amaze me how they can afford THAT MUCH food (and takeout!) to reach that level of obesity... i can hardly afford to feed myself let alone eat for a whole family of 5
Right??!!
I don’t understand it either, how are people affording this much food??? Is it disability?
Actually, some fat people don't eat much more than lean people. They just do it over a long period of time and it adds up.
@@MartinMMeiss-mj6li what? how is that mathing?? are they living to the age of 392?
@@ImperfectionistGaming If you gain ten pounds a year for ten years, you will be 100 pounds overweight. Also, they may eat the same amount of food as someone else by weight, or platefuls, but eat foods that are more caloric.

I’m disabled and the ability of the fat activists to consider themselves to have the worst problems in the world is quite fascinating.
Thanks for the video! ❤
i would support it if it was for disabled people.
according to them, everything needs to revolve around them, it is honestly crazy how toxic and entitled this thinking is
My two older sisters are blind for guinea pigs’ sake, and when I sent them this video they were LIVID. They were saying the same thing Michelle said, “they can fix their weight, people with disabilities cannot.” Also my sisters are as petty as I am, so they called these fat positive people whiners. I am inclined to agree.
Same here! It's fascinating in an odd way... well, Michelle's take on it makes it interesting! 😂
The arrogance and entitlement of that "plus-sized" lady is triggering!
As you can see from the clip at the beginning of the video, they've convinced themselves all the negative impacts of their weight are seperate unrelated disabilities they happen to have. So I assume they think they have it worse than people with _a_ disability because they think they have 27 of them
As someone with a physical disability who lost 70 pounds to help myself.. You are correct, it IS rude to lump us in with this nonsense 😅
Nice going! That's incredible! Congratulations :D I'm at about the 85 lb mark myself.
Heck yes!!! I lost over 100 lbs because i got huge with my 2nd pregnancy and the weight made my body hurt so badly. Turns out, I have a connective tissue disorder that is genetic and apparently I've had it all in my life. When I got pregnant the second time apparently the influx of hormones caused it to go haywire and it's never been the same since. I'm still in constant pain in my body is kind of a shitshow but having a 100 lbs off of it has made a huge difference. My body would have just gone downhill even faster had I not taken the weight off my joints don't work and my tendon are too stretchy so I have to make sure not to put too much weight on them because they can't function like they should and I get a lot of dislocations.
Yes! I lost weight as I knew it would help my disability! And my gosh does it make me angry when these people try to just merge us
@liannemarie2504 So happy for you! I use to be overweight before. And I remember how hard it was to simply get out of the couch. When I started losing the weight and started to actually FEEL the difference- I felt like I was as light as a "feather". It felt so nice to feel light on my feet. Like a huge burden had been lifted off my body. I suffer from chronic pain it wasn't until I started to work out that I started to develop tolerance to it and tackle some of my inflammatory responses to food in my body. It's been a life changer. Dieting and exercising has been a huge life saver. I think it's so detrimental that these fat activists are so against dieting and exercising. When literally it has helped me to want to continue living. (I was in a deep depression before). My life is starting to have some form of balance between the highs and lows. And am so thankful I don't have the extra burden of weight on me anymore. I hope you continue to overcome things in your health journey. Am so proud of you! 100lbs is such a HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT. CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Amen to that. I have autism/ADHD and the symptoms are crippling sometimes. I can't do a whole lot about those but I (was? am?) fat as well. I got gastric bypass because I had trouble changing my habits on my own and it was literally a life-saving last resort for me. I was like "I can damn sure change this!" and I can be quite stubborn when I make my mind up to do something. I knew full well that I was the one who did it to myself. I never blamed others for my crappy bad habits.
I have disabled relatives. Removing armrests would make it so much harder to sit down and stand up. Also bolted down tables allow people to put their weight on them to help them move. Her requests would be a fall risk for disabled and old people.
5 seconds in and I'm mortified by the cognitive dissonance. My sister passed away from complications due to pulmonary hypertension. She was told her best course of action was to lose weight to take strain off her heart. Incredibly sad.
The lady just needs to come out and admit that she just wants to live in the world of WALL-E.
As if the movie wasnt warning exactly against living like her
Wall-e hmm
I want to like this but it’s at 200 likes which is just to perfect to ruin
They see Wall-E as anti fat propaganda, even though it’s literally the existence they’re actively (figuratively speaking) fighting for.
Okay who ruined it?

i'd love to answer your question michelle!
i'm disabled. I suffer from brugada syndrome. because of my frequent fainting spells, i have to use a wheelchair in public or i'll constantly get ambulances called for me. to be lumped in with this group of people is nothing short of demeaning and offensive. no matter what i do, i cannot ever become able bodied. i can't stress how difficult this is to live with. meanwhile, these people that can become able bodied if they even slightly tried constantly speak over me. not only that, they TAKE from me.
they take the big stalls i need in restrooms. they take the mobility scooters i need in stores. all they do it take. the gluttony and privilege of these people is unreal! but people like me will never be heard over this sea of obese individuals.
after all, there are 40% of obese people in america and only 13% of disabled people. we will never be heard over these people. :(
As someone born disabled, I don't want to be lumped in with this group either. They will never understand what a true disability is or the real struggles that comes along with being disabled.
right? i completely agree. they'll never understand us but they so desperately want to use our label. it's so sick.@@HelleneSelf
“We will never be heard.”
I felt this so hard it hurt. 😢
So sorry. This was very moving. I could FEEL your frustration as I read it.
Well said.
How these people have the audacity to lump themselves in with disabled people is beyond me. Obviously very privileged and bored.
When will they realize that human bodies are not supposed to be 600 pounds? I work as a receptionist in a hotel in Europe and they would have a hard time getting through the door into the rooms and could only dream about getting into the bathrooms....
I've stayed in places on holidays in Europe that I do wonder how the hell big people would get up the stairs or into the tiny loos! I doubt some would fit in the old style lifts, or the small shower units. Particularly an apartment in Paris which was up a winding stairway! (And in contrast, I've been to the US where you could fit an entire boy band in the hotel/motel beds 😜)
Not only is this ridiculous, they’re missing out on many mom and pop businesses that don’t have the funds to accommodate their “needs”.
Michelle, I'm Italian and our cities have thousands of years of history. If she were to ever travel to Italy I suppose she would expect us to tear down everything and rebuild our cities to accommodate her? 😂
Of course! 😂
She'd probably cause the next Pompeii incident if she tripped
I suppose she could stay at the Colosseum? That should b big enough
I thought of that while on holiday in European historical cities while getting into one of the small lifts that would only fit 2 or 3 average sized people. And then washing in the small shower cubicles!
I love how they avoid any type of responsibility by phrases like: AS SOMEONE WHO IS POSITIONED IN A LARGER BODY
Her suggestions about more space between tables would just mean fewer tables and less capacity/revenue. The restaurant would have to raise prices to make up the loss. She doesn't seem to get that her suggestions have major consequences for everyone else
She laughs at the concept of everyone else. She's the only person who matters.
She eats for 4 though so maybe they'll break even money wise ..😂
I'm disabled. My disability is 'hidden' and it can be really difficult to get accommodations sometimes. I have to be quite specific and open about my disability, which I actually don't like doing. I'm furious this people come along openly demanding access to the things I might need just because they're fat. Also as a mother, absolutely no to the moving tables - a lawsuit waiting to happen around young children or the elderly.
As someone who was almost 300lbs. And had to get a surgery because of my body producing to much spinal fluid due to gaining so much weight. We need to stop glamorizing being over weight. I want to thank you for helping me over lose 100lbs!
I had the same thing! IIH! I got it at 175 lbs. and it took me three LPs and almost two years to recover fully and be headache-free. I did lose 70 lbs. initially, put some muscle back on after and I feel so much better! Knee problems I had for almost a decade went away after I lost the weight. Congrats on the weight loss and recovery! IIH is awful.
Your doing great! Dont give up! :)
As a big woman (300 lbs) I cannot IMAGINE making these sorts of demands. I'd die on the spot.
I'm overweight myself 😂 but I'm still struggling to keep my nutrition undercontrol with school and stress. I rather d!e than become as Big as Jaybae 💀

@@vanessarickford6260get off of social media and hand out with people who workout.
This girl 100% belongs on the I’m the main character subreddit. Expecting the world to accommodate you because you’re obese isn’t the same as making accommodations for disabled people. They can’t change the fact that they’re disabled, you can change the fact that you’re obese. Like stop making everyone’s life harder because you refuse to change. Plus she has a neon sign with her name. Idk man just get a necklace or something 😂
Sadly, it's really impacting how disabled people are being treated.
Preach!
This past week a bigger woman sat next to me on a plane, and I didn’t think anything of it because it’s not a big deal. But when we landed she instantly called a friend, and openly sh*t talked me for giving her “nasty looks”. I was so surprised… some people want to be oppressed so bad.
I think her whole mission literally revolves around trying to eat even more than she already does
Remember when restaurants and bars had a "smoking" and "non smoking" section? Theres a good reason thats not the case any more. Its enabling something we all know is harmful to health.
I am physically disabled. My mobility has decreased dramatically over the years. I'm frustrated she's complaining about her issues when she could change her situation. If losing weight would get me out of my wheelchair then I'd be on that diet like yesterday.
If I could move like I did when I was younger, I would in a heartbeat. Now I need surgery on my fuckin foot cause a massive ligament got torn wide open and found out I have severe asthma that aggravated around COVID, but I still make sure I can walk and go on long distance walks to work and school cause I'm not buying a goddamn car.
She plays loosy goosy with the phrase "plus size." Like, that's way more than "plus."
When we hit "multiplier size" (anything with 2X or greater), we've gone way past "plus."
Plus ultra
She probably meant the plus in XXL+
closere to multiplied than plus, she is the size of multiple average people
There plus size and then there's no neck size
If she put the same amount of effort she puts into being a professional victim into eating less and walking around the block she’d solve a lot of her own self made problems.
But that’s just TOOOOO HARRRRRRD
It’s much easier to just (literally) sit and complain about beauty standards and diet culture and expect everyone else to cater to their delusions to justify their obesity and poor habits instead.
When I worked at McDonald's a guy came up to the counter and said he wanted to speak to a manager. Then he proceeded to talk for 20 minutes about how the restaurant should switch out the chairs for sofas because they're more comfortable or whatever.
Sir, you're at the McDonald's cash register speaking to a 21 year old shift manager, she neither can nor will make the decision to throw out 20 perfectly usable tables with chairs just to accomodate your asscheeks. This video made me think of him, and it really seems to me like Jae Bae's petitions are about as influential and important as Mr Mcdonald's Buttcheek's sofa request.
If I owned a restaurant, I won't lie, I would probably cave to her demands because I would absolutely want her and her friends in my restaurant 😂
I mean, she do eat a restaurant worth of food. Could make the entire weeks profit in one table one sitting.
Caving into the ridiculously over-entitled demands just enables them to demand even more...not doing you or them any favours in the long run.
Tbh..I wouldn't want to eat at a restaurant that's so obviously caving in anyway, and I certainly wouldn't be wanting to take my friends along either. Having to be around numerous grossly obese people in that sort of situation would be more than enough to put me off my food thanks!! 🥴😵💫
THATS CRAZYYYY
Nah fam, what she's asking for is actually super expensive overheard for a restaurant, better business to just not bother. Like, you gotta follow ADA guidelines and everything, but not all this
@@Listening_Books12345 Yeah, but think how much they would spend.
Bring your own chair?
How much would they hate it if it was like kid's high chairs? Frazzled 14 year old host dragging the special Fat Chair across the restaurant because it is too heavy to carry, just screeetching along the ground the whole way as a giant "We got a Fat over here! Gotta make them comfy because they spend good money!"
It’s already concerning enough that a 14 year old needs to be in the workforce, we’re hoping for a limited duties if that kid is, dealing with the special chair shouldn’t be with it either.
but its not always. what if its an elder who physiclaly cannot move much? or in constant pain? And if they dont have people looking after them they dont really have coked meals to eat. just the sh*t in American grocery store's with like 20g of sugar for one serving. thses elders dont tend to eat much, yet still strugle with weight
theres no reason to bring your own chairs. most places already have chairs that are optional with no arm rest.
🤣🤣🤣
I hope Michelle sees this comment and creates a reenactment of it 😂😂😂😂
this might be a bit amusing. I used to be a waitress in a sushi/teriyaki joint for a while. Boss specifically trained me not to give obese patrons certain chairs. Of course it was to make them more comfortable, but there was a legitimate concern one of our weaker chairs would just split apart from the weight
She is always talking about getting rid of armrests, but some people, including my mom, need chairs with armrests. She has arthritis and is recovering from a knee replacement. I have chairs in my kitchen with no armrests and have to bring in my computer chair for her to use. She needs armrests to stabilize herself to safely get up and down. If chairs with armrests aren't available she needs a table that is bolted down to use to stabilize herself. Several of Jaebae's recommendations would make the world less accessible for a lot of people and make spaces less able to accommodate to large groups of people.
Bad knee. Once at 90 degrees or better, I'm fine, but I lift myself with my arms more than anything else. Arms aren't absolutely required, but are very helpful in terms of leverage. I paint sitting and standing, which means a lot of arm work.
When I'm having a bad joint day, armrests are a must for standing up.
I'm also dependant on arm rests, sadly my parents are like Jaebae. It felt so vulnerable always needing my brother to extend his arms to help me up... As an adult, I build my life around my disability but I'm well aware it comes with sacrifices from other people.
People that has problems of mobility because they eat way to much shouldnt expect the world to acommodate them.
As a woman with a neurological disability I would prefer someone advocate for awareness and accommodation for invisible disabilities with as much passion as these people do for fat acceptance. I need accommodations the government won’t accept because their accommodations are severely outdated and only adhere to physical disability. It’s frustrating to be lumped into that group for sure 💀
What kind of accommodation would you need if I may ask ?

This person somehow got this far without understanding that square footage costs money. The fewer people that can fit, the less money the business makes. Also waitstaff don't get paid for those trainings, they get paid to wait tables. Premium space costs premium dollars. But if she isn't money bags, then maybe she should take up the same amount of space that the rest of us do. The entitlement here is off the charts.
Why do these people think I should pay for accommodations for their obesity? If the plane takes fewer passengers because it has wider aisles and larger seats, tickets will be much more expensive. Why should I pay more? I don't obsessively eat, I don't want to be punished for a healthy lifestyle.
Only fair thing is to charge per kilo because that would make things equal
@@ancipital But not really fair. A 190cm man is now unfairly charged more just for existing. What about people with edema or other health conditions that increase their weight, but not out of being fat? And now everyone not anorexic and short is being punished. Body builders are being punished, despite not even taking that much more space than a regular passenger.
One seat per fixed cost is the most fair. Being so morbidly obese that you cannot fit is a choice the person made, and should pay extra for the second seat, more than likely they can afford it anyway, that amount of food to get so big is a luxury already. And in the very rare cases they didn't have a choice (such as some health disorder proven by a doctor), they should get an extra free seat; those people are rare enough that it wouldn't impact the rest.
Yeah, but i think a lot of them _want_ you punished for livibg a healthy lifestyle. Its probably a bonus
Agreed. I wouldn't want another person paying for my mistakes (ex-fat here). I feel horrible if I even think I inconvenienced someone. I knew I'd gotten myself into this mess so I had to get some help getting out of it, but I did in the end thank God. I don't know why anyone thinks being fat is a good idea. I was absolutely miserable when I was getting dangerously close to 300.
Airlines up their prices and decrease the size of seats every year. It's not discrimination though, it's just plain old greed.
The way I dropped all my stuff when she said pulmonary hypertension was a rare disease not linked to her weight.
The reason why JaeBae is insisting that her 'size inclusive suggestions are small changes' is because these changes do not require her to do anything. The solution to all of her problems is to lose weight but that would require her to be accountable for her lifestyle choices and do the work necessary to lose weight and keep it off.
Being plus size myself, i am ashamed of fat acceptance. It isn't something to parade, it's a blatant health issue and one which i struggle with everyday. The last thing I want is an excuse to be an entitled snob, or to make people go out of their way make them feel uncomfortable. The change isn't everyone, it's in yourself.
I used to work at a fun center and the worst interaction I ever had with a costumer was when I had to tell someone they couldn’t ride the go karts because the seatbelt didn’t fit on them. Oof that was…an experience to say the least.
I never understand why most people in this group start with saying "Let me educate you" and proceed to say the most illogical, thoughtless drivel that any person with more than two communicating brain cells would disregarded
She wants us to be addiction friendly, pretty much, so we might as well go back to letting smokers smoke wherever since we're molding our world to addictions. Being fat is due to a food addiction🤦🏾♀️
Exactly, that’s what I thought too.

My husband is in the same situation, in Romania, in Eastern Europe, people are not obese, but we are a mixed country of overweight and obese and we are treated as pariahs. At work, we are exploited on the principle that fat people cannot work, but curiously, besides the salary, they have additional benefits, for example the medical and health industry. Fuck these fat people. I'm tired...
My ass is smaller than a teenage girl's, I can rarely buy boxers and bras from 11-13-year-old teenagers. It's more difficult with clothes, I'm a sober, mature woman and I can't dress childishly.

As a disabled person (Multiple sclerose, wheelchair bound) I'm so done with her. I know losing weight is fcking hard. Especially with a chronic illness/disability, but try at least.... The world doesn't revolve around you.
Unable to lose weight because of health/life is one thing. Don't even trying is something els...
I weighed more than 661lb (300kg) pure because of depression, sitting still because of my MS and medication. I weight 703lb or 319kg.... (BMI 125 Extreme Obesity...)
But I tried my best to lose weight, even though it was fcking hard. And I lost 593lb (or 269 kg) after alot of hard work... Sweat and tears. My whole family is obese. I fell into the “it's in my genes” bs. Because that is simple and easy. But that is a choice....You CAN control your weight, even though it is really hard to control and maintain a healthy weight/diet/lifestyle it is possible and something she can control.
I can't control my MS...
It took me almost 2 years of hard work but I'm now 50kg-160cm/110lb-5,2ft. (BMI now 19,5)
The fact that she puts being obese and having a disability in one group is insane to me. Don't ask other for help if you don't even trying to help yourself.
(Sorry for rambling...🤐 I'm just really irritated with these people, especially her...)
That is awesome! It is so hard to lose weight with a chronic illness but I’m on the same path. I’ve never given in to the “it’s my genes” (it is) or it’s hard because I have PCOS (it is) because I always knew if I put forth the effort I could lose weight and I would readily admit that I didn’t feel like it. Now I do and it’s going well!
Holy moly, what an achievement! Immense respect, that's incredible!
Great job dude!
Congrats! The only pass I give people is what you said- it takes time and consistent effort for someone to lose weight. I would hate to be rude to someone who was making progress and getting healthier. Plus I think I just like mentally living in a world where everyone is trying instead of thinking the worst of people I don’t know.
So, to recap, you lost nearly 600 pounds in two years… 😳😵💫 that is insane and you should have a trophy in your house somewhere just for that. Congratulations, that’s incredible and I feel motivated to lose my own weight because it’s not nearly that much and I don’t have MS and I feel like you just shot every excuse I’ve ever had straight in the foot. 😂
I have pretty severe scoliosis and went on a 12h train ride across Europe. You probably cringed at that and don’t even have scoliosis, so for me it was literal hell. About halfway through, a pretty chubby girl sits down next to me, I’m guessing she was around 20. She saw me leaning over on the table and asked if I was alright. Then I explain to her that leaning back was painful because of my spine. I explain my condition and of course I complain about how annoying the situation is and she also complains about how the arm rests usually inconvenience her and I accept it because everyone is free to complain in this world. But then she turns to me and says “they should make chairs for people with scoliosis” and I laugh because the notion is ridiculous. Scoliosis varies from person to person, they would need to make a mould of every person’s back if they wanted to be inclusive with this. So I tell her this and through her protests I explain that I’m not the queen of Europe, I do not expect special privileges for a condition that I knew I had and a position that I put myself in, because I wanted to save money on a plane ticket. I told her that the world does not revolve around me and that’s fine because I can either manage or change the situation myself. Then I go to the bathroom and come back to find her taking to another person about how trains should have larger seats for bigger people………….

I will never understand how they put themselves in the same category as people with disabilities and then turn around and want all arm rests banished. Do they realized how many people with disabilities need the assistance of an arm rest?
I used to be borderline morbidly obese. It was awful and I blamed everything and everyone but myself. I couldn’t see my feet, breathe properly, depressed , angry, exhausted and was always sweating like a pig.
One day I woke up and decided enough. And got real raw and brutal with myself. A year and a bit later I lost nearly half my weight and have never been happier.

The only way I can see this "certification" helpful is maybe for hospitals. Medical machines also have weight limits, so it might help save sometime for referrals. ^^ PS: Love your videos!! :D
I actually made a comment on one of her videos about her obsession with comfort. The problem is that people like her get to this point because they only want to do what is comfortable. If you want things to be better for you, and if you want your life to get better, you have to be willing to be uncomfortable sometimes. Changing for the better is almost always going to be uncomfortable. I'm in the process of losing weight myself, and dieting and exercise are pretty freaking uncomfortable. But they're what's best for you.

Obesity is often a result of the consequences of someone’s actions and decisions.
I’m half convinced she’s rage baiting. Given that she is now selling “certifications”, I think she knows what she’s doing. People genuinely want what she’s saying which is nuts, but I think she knows she’s found her cash cow and it’s grifting and rage baiting
Agreed. If not rage baiting, then definitely grifting. She realized she could sell delusion.
Pretty sure she is. And I could tell by the first seconds of this video from the clip where she says the oxygen is due to a condition that has nothing to do with obesity. She might aswell had said “guys, I take these insulin shots bc i have a condition called diabetes which is NOT related to my weight”.
Any person with an internet connection could know that pulmonary hypertension can 100% in fact be related to obesity. So yeah, I think she plays up this persona of clueless fat acceptance activist to get attention and views. Bc lets be honest, it works. There will always be that person who wont be able to stop themselves from “schooling” them on the comments.
Thats how basically a bunch of people get famous today: saying outrageous thing that piss people off and make more and more people talk abt them (ex: fresh and fit, just pearly things, andrew tate…)
I mean fair play, if you've ruined your reputation and have no intention of improving it or losing weight, you'd have no problem becoming a professional rage baiting grifter to get moneyyyyy... Good for her? I guess 🧐

I've never been overweight before, so I don't know what it's like or what is or isn't comfortable. It isn't most people's goal to make you feel embarrassed or uncomfortable. I don't think it's fair to expect everyone to understand your problems and I don't think it's fair to assume that you're being attacked when the "attacker" is just ignorant and has no clue what your needs are. If you want certain accommodations, you should specify them right off the bat :/
You can tell by the way this girl talks that she has been told her whole life by her parents that "she is special, she's different and she's perfect just the way she is" I know these ppl 😂😂😂
omg best comment - exactly my thoughts - fatty has. clearly never had a job or worked in the real world before.
As a disabled person, I agree with her idea to post pictures of the seating and area. Then I can decide ahead of time if I should eat there… or maybe somewhere else. I don’t expect restaurants to change everything to accommodate me but I do appreciate being able to make an informed choice ahead of time.
I work at Walgreens and the store has a very wide seat in the back next to the pharmacy, supposedly to accommodate for obese people. Interesting 🤔
I’m a 6’1” woman (gender included because of the issue with gender expectations, finding clothes, weird interactions with potential boyfriends/husbands, etc), the world is not made for me, I do not expect society to change, it’s my responsibility to adapt. Good lord.
Well, babe, it's not like you can get shorter. I would understand wanting like a hotel with an extra large bed, for example. The chick who needs help to breath demanding waitresses do more work for her is next level entitled.
I consider people like you the strongest indictment against people like Jae. Super tall people deal with almost the exact same problems as fat people, at no fault of their own, but for some reason they're far less demanding.
Being a tall woman can be hard, I'm tall myself (6'), so I get it. A lot of men will immediately rule out women of our height, but you really don't see viral TikToks of us demanding men date us (nor would I want that to happen, that would be gross and creepy). I am starting to realize body positivity has nothing to do with other bodies besides fat bodies.
@@kyrus4989 right? You know, it’s actually never even occurred to me to demand men date me, lol. I get a little annoyed at short girls being adamant about dating a guy a whole foot taller than they are and when society forgets us tall ladies exist, but I’ve genuinely never thought that anyone should be forced to date me XD. And yep, body positivity is ONLY about being overweight.
I have Asperger, I have taste hypersensibility, strong light and noise hypersensibility as well. Well I invested in some very dark shades, good earplugs so I can go to concerts if it is not too long and admitted that some places just aren't for me. I never asked for concert with decibel/lighting control or restaurants to have a non-spicy taste-hypersensibility friendly menu. And next? We will forbid the Olympics because poor short people will never be able to jump 1,90m? Not being a billionaire also excluded me from yatch clubs if anyone cares. Inclusivity means having a possibility to fit in the civilisation not that all the civilisation has to adapt to you because your needs are more importants than the restaurant's owner difficulty to carry on all your requests or other people who will have to compress to allow you to fit in
The privilege of dining out that much to request those things tbh. I mean, it's expensive to grab convenience food let alone dining for ONE MEAL.
Oh and here I was just hoping for braille menus. I didn’t know I could demand all of these things. I find it horrifying when PWD’S get lumped in with these forms of bad advocacy. I’ve been a disability advocate for most of my life and the fat acceptance movement isn’t winning any points. Their messaging is absurd and pushes away allies. Also I wonder if her fat certification classes are accessible for those of us who are blind. I might have to reach out and check. I’d be amazed if it was actually inclusive.
That’s what I was thinking. Wouldn’t surprise me if we visit a restaurant in the near future not being able to read the menus or find our way, but who cares when it’s Fat Accessible? 🤦🏻♀️
"I have a rare lung disease. Pulmonary hypertension. It affects a lot of people."
3:02 definitely not haha (and yes for everyone who wants to say now that being overweight isn’t good… i know I’m working on it)
You are inspiring me to become healthier, I've been struggling with bulimia for a while now, and you've been giving me the inspiration to fight my disorder no matter how hard it gets.
Wishing you good luck and strength sweetheart ❤ it took me years to get over my eating disorders and I really wish it didn't take me so long. Just keep trying, don't give up and I believe you will get there.
I believe in you, internet stranger!!! Been trying to lose weight myself, it is a hard battle. So I feel that. But we CAN do it!
❤
Fighting a disorder is no easy feat, but it isn't impossible. Keep working at it. You've got this.
Keep fighting! Youve SO GOT THIS! Do not give up!!!!!!!
Whenever I see people like jaebae, I'm reminded of the years of my life when I didn't have access to 3 meals a day, and a brief period of time when I lived in my car to escape an abusive ex. She's spoiled rotten. She's a fine example of why people need to be told NO when they're kids. This is what happens when you don't tell someone no. She wants entire buildings and airplanes modified to fit her needs. She doesn't care about people who are genuinely disabled. She could do better, but that would involve self reflection and work.
spitting facts
Very well put.
Privileged and bored.
Considering she’s complaining about how fatphobic plane designs are, and she’s saying this because she goes on multiple flights a month (last one I went on was 10 years ago), oh yeah she’s extremely spoiled and privileged. Most people on the planet have never even been on a plane before
@@madokami03 she better be spoiled enough to buy her own fat plane and shut up about it ://
I have Muscular Dystrophy, and no, I don't think we share a protected class with obese individuals. I realize there are usually psychological issues involved in getting that big, so it is kind of complicated. However, I would be overjoyed if there were lifestyle changes I could make on my end to make the world more accessible for me. I exercise every day with my atrophied-ass muscles, so I think that most people can find a way to work out. I don't expect everyone to cater to me either, although most people are pretty nice and want to help.
Fresh out of high school, I worked at a local buffet. We had plenty of booths, not a single one was bolted down (bench or tables). Large people would shove the bench back when the people behind them got up. The people behind them would come back and be confused because they didn't remember their table being that close to the bench.
This is insane! The Entitlement. As someone who used to be bigger, I will never forget the time I went to a restaurant, and I was so uncomfortable I was squashed between the table and booth. The first thing I said to my partner was "Man, it's time to lose some weight, this is embarrassing". I was embarrassed to even let anyone know I was uncomfortable, I sat there, ate and left. It was one of the wake up calls for me.
That reminded me of when I had sleep apnea and my doctor said "lose weight". 50 lbs down I suddenly didn't have sleep apnea anymore.
I am a male, 108 kg with a BMI of around 30, therefore fringing right on the overweight-obese border. I feel the excess weight and I do have problems with uncontrolled eating, I simply can not imagine, how anyone can let of themselves towards the morbidly obese and beyond spectrum and then claim that all problems they experience are from outside factors.
Im a woman and same way....im right on the normal/overweight part of the bmi spectrum and the extra 15-20 lbs i carry i can feel in my knees and hips....i like my yummy food and overindulge sometimes...hence the extra 20lbs but i could NEVER EVER EVER let myself go like some of these human tanks....its just wild what the human body can take
If she charges for the certification, she will make a fortune
I also carry about an extra 20 lbs, and I've been able to get down to 165 before, but I was starving, working out, and still a wee bit jiggley - I was 24, and the hottest I ever felt. Now I'm 35 and definitely jiggly at 175, I definitely overdo it sometimes, especially with beverages. I cannot imagine how little work she does to be that big
Ex-obese here, I can tell why they let themselves get to this point. It's a lengthy text about personal experience. I needed a harsh wake-up call louder than my knees hurting (because I already had a chronic pain even before I got fat),
Those people coddle you like no one, it's 101 abuse disguised as care and welcoming nature. If you suffered before you could develop fully, turning onto food for "comfort" is very common, and those people lure you in with this comfort you so desperately think you need. And if you have a difficulty in moving around (my chronic pain) and hormonal problems (that I had since childhood) that makes even easier to gain weight, it feels marvelous, it's like a drug and their enablers. I was most of my live overweight, so I didn't noticed at first.
Lucky me, I never got above the Obesity 2 on BMI, and once I started to notice that I was getting trouble walking around for hours, I was like "wait, something is wrong" and slowly I started to notice how people treated me. Then I noticed the cool things I couldn't do because of my weight. So I ended up seeing those 600 pound life episodes and I cried, I cried "I don't want to be like this" (I was 200 pounds at the time) and the next day I searched for a gym in my city and I got into the one that is focused on older, disabled or morbidly obese people (the trainers are trained to be here to help you if anything happens) and now I'm having a little of difficulties in losing weight, but I feel so much better that looking back at my old habits I feel disgusted. According to my BMI I reverted back to overweight, and I'll slowly reach my ideal weight.
I am in my 60's. I have learned a lot in my lifetime. One thing I know for sure is if you do not take care of your body, you will regret it. I am considered disabled due to a bad back. I have had 3 back surgeries. I walk a mile 4x a week. I do Yoga 3x a week and will up that to every morning soon. The Yoga I do anyone could do, is stretching and such approved by my doctor. I just cannot get down on the floor because I cannot get back up. After I went through menopause I did put on some extra weight. When my scale got to almost 200lbs I said oh heck no! I visited the hospital and spoke to the dietician there. I am now at 142lbs and healthy. Moderation is the key. These folks who think not taking care of your body in any way shape or form is ok, WILL 100% regret it one day. See, like I said I am in my 60's and I get lonely sometimes because all my friends who did NOT take care of their bodies are dead. I miss them.
1. Im disabled and everytime they lump themselves in its grating. Its hard enough trying to get accommodations with invisible disabilities, i shouldnt have to try and squeeze myself through their abnormally large butts
2. Staff at restaurants arent even properly trained to handle allergies or food intolerances. I have celiac and went to a highly rated restaurant, i let them know about the celiac. The guy handling my food put contaminated butter in my fries and i got sick.
If the guy working the back cant get cross contamination, why would you expect them to read, memorize, and pass an exam on the ins and outs of fatphobia and accommodations needed for fat people?
Lots of times while I am listening to you, Michelle, I’m doing something else like vacuuming or dishes or whatever and as soon as I hear a skit coming on, I drop everything and run back to my laptop😂
Amazing how these people seem to be oblivious to the fact that a lot of these problems they are facing are self-inflicted. You don't gain 200+ pounds from one Thanksgiving dinner it takes years of overeating and a sedentary lifestyle to gain all that weight.
It definitely did for me--it started as a thyroid disorder for me but I definitely didn't help myself. I laid around all the time, ate too much, and just didn't give a dang. Two decades later, I found myself in very hot water with my health. I'd give anything to go back to teenage me and beg her to just lift some damn weights once in a while to avoid two decades' worth of suffering.
I've been fat and had the dread of trying to fit into restaurant seats bolted to the floor. I didn't like it, so instead of whinging about it I lost weight. This morning I went for a 5 mile run - just to ensure I can fit where the hell I like when the hell I like.
I'm afraid for delusional people.
Be afraid for yourself. Because these kinds of people are the ones either in charge or voting for people in charge to give the delusional people everything they want.
I’m afraid for the rest of us.
As someone with a disability and works very hard to maintain my health, I do not appreciate being lumped in with this garbage
This kind of thing is so funny to me, cause businesses already struggle to incorporate people with physical disabilities (i.e: wheelchairs, prosthetics, etc). Like bro, if they can't cater to us, they are absolutely not gonna cater to fat people 😭
I used to be 298lbs and I deadass could not fit in a good bit of booths at restaurants. I specifically remember not being able to fit in my favorite Chinese takeout’s booth and I felt like shit! But 70lbs down and being able to fit in the booths ,is extremely rewarding and satisfying!
Don’t get me wrong I learned to love myself at my heaviest but that helped with motivation!
OMG how did you get there ? 😭😭😭
