No amount of peer pressure is going to make me date someone that I'm not attracted to.
it worked for tbys.
oh wait that was just the money lol
Nobody talks about the various smells you will have to endure if you choose to go the "fat dating" route......
@@Mr.White10-65 my dad’s friend who has a wife who’s really large, said she smells basically like shit. Dude still smashes though so I guess he’s immune to smell.
Isn't it funny...these were the same people screaming about consent not long ago...they sure as fuck seem content on taking others...it's predatory and incel behaviour...Hiding something that would otherwise change a persons mind about doing a certain thing with you is usually called rape in most cultures...and trying to coerce someone to date you is in fact illegal and is called abuse according to law...
@@Mr.White10-65 various smells?
As a former "fat kid" who couldn't breathe while tying my shoes at the age of 14, these "fat is healthy and beautiful" people can take a hike
I mean they can try to, they might roll back down the hill
Stop this abuse you know they can't hike that's why they are the way they are
@@uwu.-.5873 LMAO 🤣
They cant
But they wont lol
I once proved a point to my mother who was over a hundred pounds overweight. She always tried all these trend diets she found in magazines and they never worked. She also bought a gym membership and wasted money on a trainer (who was in idiot), and she gave up cause it was too hard. So I told her, here's what we're gonna do. I get to control your portion sizes for 3 months. We will still eat all the same foods (I cook at our house), but you have to let me get your plate, and pack your lunch for work, and you can't go back for more. I also told her that ANYTHING is exercise, moving is exercise. So I'd have her just do things like. Lift your legs off the floor from the couch, and hold them there for 10 seconds, then drop them, do that 5 times. Raise your arms up and swivel them for a set time. Get up, and sit down 10 times not using your hands. Stuff like that. And my last rule was she couldn't check her weight at all till the end of the 3 months. I started weighing her portions. And I'd just drop them by a couple of grams every day or so. We still all her faves. Breads, pasta, rice dishes, burgers all of it. "Do a lap around the house one time, and sit back down." So on, so on. At the end of the 3 months she'd lost 23 pounds, and just started crying, and hugged me. You don't have to starve, and be sore to lose weight. I hope everyone realizes that.
" You don't have to starve, and be sore to lose weight." You just need to be responsible and disciplined. Weight control is a lifestyle, not a crash program. The only thing that requires a program is your brain. Every good thing you do for yourself must become a habit.
Yes, exactly this!
You most definitely saved her life, i hope you and your mother can keep it up and maybe she will live to see your children too
So true. And the portion sizes (and dinner plate sizes) have increased. That what people have gotten used to, eating what is actually a double or triple sized portion.
People think they have to behave like those folks on "Biggest Loser" but no you were 100% right. For exercise just move more that's it. Park far at the store, walk in place for a few minutes. As for diet. It's calrioes in vs out. Simple math and just eat a little calrioes, so high volume low calrioe
It's mind blowing that people would rather protect someone's feelings than to protect someone physical health and life
Rather than body positivity we need to practice body respect. Everyone should be treated with kindness and be able to live their lives without shame, but if someone is telling you obesity doesn't negatively effect your health they don't respect you
Especially since being overweight can absolutely affect your mental health, and in some cases for those who already have a pre-existing mental disorder, becoming obese could be essentially a slow attempt at suicide, similar to why those who are depressed might smoke.
It's mental illness.
Because it's easier ,remember today's society is not about taking responsibilities it's about do what makes you happy
they don't care about their feelings
Fun fact: my sister, who works for a hospital, told me that patients that don't fit into an MRI machine get taken to a zoo because they have to use the one for elephants. (No, i'm not joking)
Edit: My most liked comment ever.
That should be enough to tell Them that they should lose weight
Was an icu nurse, can verify. Doesn’t happen often where I’m from but I’ve seen it. Had to use a retrofitted moving truck instead of an ambulance too.
👀
holy shit
That’s not a “fun fact” that’s a terrifying fact
“some people are their healthiest when fat” that’s insane
Sumo wrestlers are somewhat healthy lol, I don't think though they are healthier than their slim selves
Their happiest, because they can indulge as much as they want
It's like being addicted to drugs, you get a dopamine and serotonin rush ergo, addicted
@@Ivannbeats as long as they’re training sumos are straight up healthy, generally speaking they don’t suffer from conditions associated with obesity at all. When they stop training without losing weight though their health decreases rapidly.
That's a oxymoron
It's like saying you drive safer on your 4th beer.
Thank you for this. My daughter will not listen to me. I was a personal trainer for 20 years and studied nutrition, I am not overweight. She has told me I know nothing, she will only listen to people with degrees, that I am stupid, and the research and wisdom I have means nothing. In the meantime the medical profession have pumped her with drugs, she is severely overweight, says she never eats, but is eating all the time. Now I have been told to never speak to her again about the issue. I'm broken and sad about not being able to be honest with her and the crap she is fed by Doctors who pander and give her more drugs. It's time for me to give up on the issue, but I love her and she just doesn't get it!
I know its hard for you 😢 but let me tell you, its time to stop being this empathetic about her, let her learn the hard way. She acts so disrexpectfully towards her own blood and the person that gave her birth (you), she deserves all of it. Best of wishes and hopefully she understands the issue before its too late.
The best thing you can do as a parent is let your child make their own mistakes. The second best thing you can do is be there for them after they make them.
5 months later, any progress? Hope you finally get through to her.
Hi Dylan, no, we don't discuss it anymore. I'm pretty good at keeping my mouth shut about it and am practicing not reacting! @@dylancrosby2451
I would do the opposite. Recreate and combine everything she eats in a day, put it on one big plate, and snarf it front of her, making it look as disgusting as possible, turn it into a spectacle. You can't always logic someone into better behavior.
A famous psychologist (I don't remember the name) once said, "Even a million of flies will never persuade me that sh*t is delicious". The same thing goes with me and fat acceptance. My both parents are in their 50s and are overweight now, and they both have health problems. That's why I'm very attentive about what I eat and how much I weigh.
I effing LOVE that quote. I must remember that one! Such a powerful truth in a snappy sentence.
If I find flies on the food i’m not taking it whether it looks delicious or not
Not being fat is literally a free service you can provide for yourself.
And a cheaper one! Saves money to not be a glutton
It does require taking responsibility for your own life though and what the last few years has taught me is a hell of a lot of people are ok with being told what to do
@@catherinehiley3274 ya responsibility is literally the last thing they want. Fat acceptance, free shit, removing debt, abortion, demonizing jordan peterson for saying "clean your room" and so much more.
@Mark Park Yeah, if i'll ever need life saving surgery I'll have to do it myself because Healthcare is not a right and I am an entitled person for wanting to stay alive by paying taxes to contribute to a public service like in every major European country... How does your brain even function?
It gets easier the more you do it, but you must make a daily routine of it. 💫
It's very hard to win an argument with a smart person.
It's impossible to win an argument with a stupid person.
Dang
So true
Idk, it's pretty easy to win against a stupid person. The moment they throw insults, you already win, and they're living in their own delusions that they've won. Opinions such as insults can never make a good argument.
Sort of like.. attack the argument, not the person.
So much for that..
@@cckiller0053 exactly, that is why never argue with donkey or you gonna be the other donkey
When I worked in a hospital it was so hard taking care of obese patients! Many didn’t get cleaned that well because it was almost impossible to move and clean by one individual, you needed 4 to 5 people to move! The bed soars that they came in with! The ailments that they suffered and would get nonstop!
How did the bed land??
The weaker the body, the more it commands.
The stronger the body, the more it obeys.
Did you just make that up?
Shit Imma use this
Beautiful 🤌🏽
yo that’s actually hard asf
Love how she brings up mental illness as an example of how visually you can't assess someone's health, as a mental health counsellor, we use visual cues to assess how our clients are doing all the time. someone's poor hygiene, change in dress, dramatic weight loss or gain, odd movements, can all be signs of poor mental health.
I was gonna say, even on an unprofessional level, I can tell when depression is getting the better of some of my friends by the way they look. Things like matted hair, unbrushed teeth, and weight change are some pretty blatant clues.
To be fair some mental illnesses can't be detected visually. However you're still mostly correct. Look can still tell a lot about person. Being bit chubby can be sign of just poor lifestyle choices. For example going out and partying every weekend easily builds up caloric intake. While being extremely obese is clear sign of someone using food for comfort due to mental issues.
@Tespri yes, of course some people can hide their mental health struggles quite well, I just take issue with what she said in the video and the attempt to make a broad brush statement about how you can't detect someone's health by looking at them and proceeds to give examples of mental health to make her point. Trained professionals can be quite good at detecting issues with health by looking at someone and making observations.
Not to mention colour of clothing, posture, or expression
the neon hair, pronoun pins, tattoos, piercings, and general repulsive appearance makes them stand out though.
As a fat person I know that I 100% put myself in this position. I may feel healthy but I have seen my cholesterol and it’s not great. That being said, you can get better and do better. Proud to say I’ve lost 50lbs since last year.
Congratulations, that's really impressive. Good luck on your journey Matthew
Great job !
Keep on going! Live a long, healthy life!
You did great! I’m obese and I’m also on the weight loss journey, so far I lost 17 pounds ❤
Amazing
I remember how blown away i was when i realized there was a flat earth community. The fat-is-healthy movement has blown my mind in the exact same way. It's so hard to believe.
I was also surprised, but those two can't beat my surprise that people honestly believe that lizards that shifted to humans run the government
I love that argument "Hey skinny people could be unhealthy too"
Like, yeah bitch. But here is a problem:
"Not every skinny person is healthy - but every fat person is unhealthy"
Killing 14 people and when under arrest 'Tend Bundy is worse"
It's a true argument but also can fat people be unhealthy . Everyone can be unhealthy if not taking the right precautions. It's a dumb argument since it dosent prove anything
the only people who are skinny and unhealthy at the same time are meth addicts
I'm skinny and would not consider myself healthy. I have terrible physique and eat mostly junk food the only reason why I'm still skinny is because I don't eat much.
I am a nurse working at a hospital in San Diego. When we have patients who can't fit in our MRI machine, we send them to Sea World to get a MRI done. That is if they are medically stable enough for the journey.
Based
I shared an MRI with an orca.
The fact they're sent to Sea World. The jokes actually just write themselves sometimes. Lol
Holy shit… how embarrassing. If that doesn’t tell you your life needs to change I don’t know what will. Literally getting a m.r.i. In the same machine as Shamu!
I had a tenant who never got off the floor, and was grossly obese. I referred to her as a "land whale," but of course only when talking about her to others.
I see I was actually pretty close to the truth.
My husband thinks the fat acceptance was fueled by the big food companies that make cheap junk food and big pharma. I'd tell him he's wacky, but...
Also, I was a nurse and would get stress fractures in my feet from lifting obese people. This was before most places were lift-free. 😐
Junk food really isn't that cheap, though. People say that healthy food is too expensive and I have to disagree. I can buy a large bad of rice and beans REALLY cheap. Add a bag of oranges and you have just about all you need.
@@stephenthomas1492 So it's not really the cheapness, but the addiction
I’m in my 40s and was overweight for two decades. It wasn’t much of a problem when I was younger, but once I was in my late 30s all the medical problems started to pile up. So I was on a bunch of meds to help with what I created as problems in my body. I was so sick of taking medication to survive that I finally got off my ass and did something about it. I lost 96lbs was able to come off all the medication, had much more energy and stamina and felt so much better. I don’t care that others call me fat phobic because I much rather be labeled as that and live then to be 6 feet under because I was to stubborn to change. How is death better than losing weight?
Iam proud of you internet stranger.
You lost the same amount of weight that i weigh.
Not to be THAT person, but life as whole is pretty pathetic honestly. Plenty of people choose death over life everyday.
@@What-fd2vfwtf kinda attitude is this
@@Keurgui1 honestly...idk I must of been in a weird mental space to say that.
@@What-fd2vfI hope you get better because no offense but that comment is either satirical or definitely shows not enough self care.
"You cannot determine someone's health just by how they look" Damn my bad, i thought the guy that has a Harpoon sticking in his chest, lying unconsicous on the ground needs an ambulance, but thanks to that unique, and intelligent statement i know that even though it may looks bad, it could be not unhealthy.
😆
@@herrflammen6487this comment made my day
Maybe he put the harpoon there himself and identifies as someone who’s been harpooned, it’s not our place to interfere or judge and especially to call an ambulance
my favorite part of that “comeback” is they’ll immediately attack healthy women for being “anorexic”
I actually find harpoons in chests to be beautiful and attractive. I only date people with harpoons in their chest and if you don't well then that's your problem.
As someone who was fat and decided to sort their life out, i don't understand how these people delude themselves this much, i hated my body, used the hate as motivation and now im frankly disgusted with how i used to treat myself, how can they have such little self respect
because it’s easier to lie to yourself than to lose weight. one takes work.
Your user name is crazy. I love it. 😂
Graduated college at nearly 300lbs at 5'7" and absolutely hated myself for letting myself go that far. I started working an extremely physically demanding job that has both improved my cardio and helped me shed nearly 60lbs over 7 months. I feel so much better, my already bad knees don't hurt as bad, and I can actually enjoy my hobbies without constantly being out of breath. Being big is a choice and I'm glad I've stepped back and started fixing it. Hopefully I can be around for my kids and be able to do things a parent should for them!
That’s impressive. You should still try and get down quite a bit more. Best of luck.
I feel like it’s narcissism more than sociopathy since they’re obsessed with their image and ego being preserved
it also has something to do with people just giving up on themselves and not wanting to take that mental leap in their closed heads. coping mechanism
It's also why the majority are women. Always fall for feel good bs, and the masters of resolving cognitive dissonance.
Is a coping mechanism, food can be a addiction, so they dont want to admit their lifestile is killing them and are always on the defensive.
Seeing my dad take 9-10 different medications to control his high blood pressure, high cholesterol, his gout, his congestive heart failure, and him close to being declared diabetic, but still continue eating unhealthy made me choose to be different from him
You can do it!
Good for you, how you do it ?
yessir. me too
@@sagichnicht1713by simply controlling what they eat
at least he doesnt smoke!
“It’s not fat related” before jumping in front of a bus is objectively a funny line
Basing reality solely on feelings is the definition of a psychosis
Emotional thinking has caused A LOT of problems of late.
I remember a friend in college who was over 400 lbs, it took him almost an hour to walk from his dorm to class. He would take baby steps because walking at all is hard, and he'd have to take breaks every few minutes. It was maybe a 10 minute walk for a normal person
Insane
Thats kinda genetic being that weak I weigh around 235 and could squat 405 just fine even without working out maybe he had a very low protein in take with aton of calories. But yeah thats someone who needs to lose .
@@williambrinkmeier1772 Hes 400 pounds the fuck are you talkong about
@@williambrinkmeier1772 I often wonder about this one as well. I'm well overweight (100lbs down and counting) but my BF% and proportions kinda don't make sense to me when I step on a scale. I'm a male so I don't THINK anyone would bother sugarcoating (I could be wrong) but people often guess my weight about 60-80 pounds below what it actually is. I've gotten weighed with relatives and friends WAY bigger than me to demonstrate this point, they almost always end up weighing less than me. So I wonder how much passive activity + the macro balance of your diet affects the composition of a person. I gained weight from overeating home cooked meals; real meat, real carbs and real veg. I don't care for most junk food and growing up My parents mostly grilled and baked the meals we ate, I just ate too much 😅.
@@williambrinkmeier1772 I don't think it's genetic, the body will only build the muscle that's required to move when your that big. if he just walked until he was about to drop dead, he'd probably get more muscle and be able to move easier, but because he's that big, he tries to move as little as possible, worsening his predicament. If he were walking more, working out, and dieting, while still being fat, then it's genetics, but if you can do the work and get results, and you just don't want to, that's on you.
Also I'm sure you're super fit, and idk what a no-workout version of you looks like, but in my mind, if anyone who doesn't work out(or doesn't have a physically demanding job) tries to squat 405 they are gonna get folded into oblivion.
My mom got her back blew out at work. Not in the way you think though. She was a nurse and had to move a fatty. Injured her back and had to get surgery.
😂
@@OneSillyWanker lol
That happens a lot. My sister hurt her shoulder doing the same thing.
@@derwoodsdiy7710 Health care injuries are mainly caused by over exertion which is usually due to having to lift these folks
Should make them stop eating so much and make them move themselves. Might sound cruel to some people but it's actually better than having them so fat they can't move themselves.
Bro I like how straight up you are. I'm overweight right now and I'm working on changing my mindset so I eat to live not to be full.
I'm way too thin, so even though I'm on the other end, I do know the struggle. I think it's the exercise that's the most difficult for me. It's so bloody difficult to motivate myself to start and keep at it.
It really hit home when you mentioned all the people who have died, likely due to their weight. Just very sad to think out the years with them that their family and friends missed out on so needlessly :(
Literally had a friend who was always overweight since I knew him at 13. He was probably 300-400lbs in high school. He passed away at 23 in his sleep. Most likely from sleep apnea aka due to his weight. It is sad, I miss him and it pisses me off that ppl try to act like being obese is okay and “beautiful” no it’s unhealthy and dangerous. I took it serious and lost 55 lbs, trying to lose another 15-20 lbs. I was 230 more muscular than most but was tired of being chubby. I hope people become sane again
Literally huh?
I'm sorry for your loss
Let your voice be heard. Fighting the woke mob saves lives. Praying for you and your family Kevin 🙏
What gets me is they say " fatness was beauty hundreds of years ago" ya because it ment your had power and money, ppl with money then didn't bother to wipe there own ass and saw gout as a sign of high status and privilege...
I went from 225 to 240 during the summer now I'm hovering around 275 during college. I workout 5 days a week so I'm on the right track, it's the manner of getting my diet under control
"You can't see if someone has a food addiction, right?"
Had me dying
Like looking at a creeper in the trench coat flashing people and saying "oh you can't tell that they're really a creep" 😂
You can't always see if someone has a food addiction. Sometimes people don't act on the addiction out of discipline. I've a friend like that who, on top of forcing himself to intermittent fasting, has a wicked quick metabolism so you'd never be able to reliably tell he's hooked to gorging himself on heaps of food whenever allowed to.
So are the morbidly obese people
@@cycy9154 yes that is true but I would like to propose another idea. Someone who has an food addiction doesn’t always have to be morbidly obese. Sometimes I would even consider myself to not have a good relationship with food lol, but someone who is morbidly obese more often than not don’t have a good relationship with food
@@jasonwei8686 They're not exvlusive with each other.
Im loosing weight right now and this helped me realize the real rights from wrongs.
Keep going, you can do it! 🫵💪💪💪
Can I ask what your diet is I’m trying to lose weight as well and dieting is a huge issue for me because idk where to start
Watching this video hit home. I’ve always been a big guy since I was a kid. After playing football I was 6’4 295lbs. I maintained that weight for a while but I fell into some rough times and the mix of depression, overeating and sleeping 10+ hours each day caused my weight to balloon up to 375 over the span of a year. Even though I didn’t feel too bad physically, the mental strain of feeling like I was going to young and knowing that I looked like a sloppy mess became too much to handle. Over the span of the last year I’ve lost 50 pounds by upping my activity levels and cutting the amount I was eating in half. Still being weighing over 300 pounds I know that I still have a ways to go but just knowing that I’ve been moving in the right direction has kept me motivated. I feel bad for the people in this video because they’re robbing themselves of the feeling of pride that they would get by taking control of their own life and knowing that they are truly trying their best to live the best life they possibly can.
My fiance is a nurse and she's told me about several of her co-workers have that received life-long injuries because they hurt themselves trying to help fat people move or get back up after falling over in hospitals/around the beds. It makes me so angry thinking that these peoples lives are forever affected because someone didn't want to put down the fork and gorged themselves and expected others to sacrifice for them.
it's the fault of the people who try to lift them too, you should NEVER lift extremely heavy objects, weather they are people or a heavy box. In my work I lift heavy boxes and if its too heavy then that means you need to get someone to help or have someone stronger take over for you. its not worth a lifelong injury because you didn't just get someone else to help you
@@truthdoesnotexist I don't know the situational input of each nurse. But I do know the input of the fat bastard that couldn't put down the cake.
@@truthdoesnotexist- I've been a nurse for over twenty years.
It's not that easy, sometimes they grab you as they fall, sometimes they roll over when you asked them not to.
Sometimes you can lift them easily but that one day their knees suddenly buckle.
Sometimes they physically attack you, when you least expect it.
Sometimes your overworked and understaffed and you just aren't thinking straight.
Sometimes other staff refuse to help you with a lift.
@@astraghost774 Those scenarios make sense, a lot of that seems unavoidable and unexpected, its not as easy as lifting with your legs or not lifting too much. If other staff refuse to help you though then you just have to except you can't lift them. If there is something too heavy for me to lift at work then I just don't lift it and explain that. even if it costs me my job then at least I will still have a good back and won't need any surgery, I'll just find another job worst case scenario
95% nurses are are 304. Good luck bro choose wise
"So what if he's in a wheelchair? Don't assume he's a bad runner."

I really enjoy these beautiful pictures of landscape and cities. And I really like your show.
I go to a very woke school and just recently they placed body positivity posters everywhere around the schools (the hallways, the bathrooms, etc...) and they even got health professional to come and tell us about food disorders and she told us that diets were bad and to accept your body. It makes me a bit sad because all my fat friends at school have problems in P.E class because they get exhausted after running for less then 2 minutes at a slow pace. That food specialist ain't telling me that accepting your body is fine when you have trouble running more than 30 seconds and have to take breaks every 5 minutes in sports.
You definitely don’t even know what woke means anymore lmao, the right wings on twitter def have made the word stupid and changed its meaning they’re not woke just fucking stupid, I agree with you though people need to stop accepting fat people when they’re obese and unhealthy. Tell your friends to be healthier and eat better
Lol guys it’s the sugar lobby. I just read the proposal to limit added sugars in public schools and the comments look like poorly designed AI sugar-fiend bots just like “if it’s not a donut, how are we going to feed these kids?!”
I go to med school and people here are so active they sometimes miss a lecture to go to the gym. And we’re only 47 people so we’re close and really like doing any type of sport. Just today i was going to head out and a boy stopped me to go play tennis with them. And the food at our canteen is always healthy, some type of soup and curry and baked vegetables. That sort of thing is so much nicer than all this fat activism though its a given med students don’t buy into that bs.
Or they are just powerlifters like me and are allergic to cardio
Oh gods the "eating disorders" there is one common eating disorder in the western world and that is Binge Eating Disorder. There are more morbidly obese people than anorexics. Not that restrictive eating disorders should be taken less seriously but when it comes to demographics, obesity is more of an issue.
Them: "You can't judge a person's health by their look"
Me: *looks inside my grandma's coffin*
"Yep! She's just sleeping"
Misjudged your grandma af, didn't take "them's" advice xd
Lol
My aunt used to take care of patients at a hospital. She had so many stories of other nurses who quit after throwing their back out trying to lift heavy people to clean them or move them. That’s just not right. Those nurses shouldn’t have to suffer because gluttonous people wanted to overindulge in food
Loving the Radal cameo, literally made my day
Hi, dermatologist here. I own my practice and treat many obese patients. I have lost quite a few patients as a result of their morbid obesity due to skin infections. When severe infections occur in the deep folds of skin and fat, it is a bacterial nightmare. It’s hot, sweaty, you have friction, and tearing of the skin coupled with poor hygiene. It is also very difficult to treat because there is no blood flow to the area, so antibiotics are not effective. The infection spreads, they become septic, and they die. It could all be avoided if they lost weight.
In addition, some people refuse to acknowledge their weight as the root cause for their problems. Due to that, some will refuse treatment solely because the treatment is different for people of an average weight.
This mindset infuriates me. I lost a young woman two years ago due to her refusal to acknowledge her weight problem. She weighed 550lbs, was barely able to walk, and truly believed and preached this health at every size, and fat acceptance nonsense. She was 32 when she died.
These people need to wake up. Your weight will catch up to you.
Do women with large breasts also have this problem to any degree?
I was 300lbs at my worst, and it already was a nightmare to me... don't even want to imagine how fucked it would be at almost twice my worst weight...
@@DoctorPhileasFragg Women with large breasts have a higher chance of developing Intertrigo under the breasts. Any area where you have moisture and friction is a bacterial playground. The best way to avoid such issues are proper hygiene, good ventilation and drying of the area, and getting medical treatment as soon as it starts. The longer you wait to treat the issue the worse it can become.
When a doctor tries hard to preserve life. Sometimes there's a dark thought in the corner of mind says, "let natural selection do it's job."
I feel like if I were a health care professional of any kind I would get very depressed seeing patients like that.
I'll say as someone who has been consistently overweight (but not obese) most of my life, these kind of videos Light a fire under my butt. I think it's easy to say "I'm not that heavy" but none of these people started off 200 lbs. I watch these videos when I go to the gym so I'm reminded to keep diligent in my own health. So thank you for making them
Same dude, I'm around 200 pounds, still can do pull-ups and stuff without problem so I make up excuses and lie to myself with things like I'm not that fat and then I go without exercise for weeks, that has to stop.
Keep it up y’all put in the work 💪
Good way to take this as inspiration, and Keep it up man ! Ya’ll got this! 💪🔥
Yea I remember I was 200+ a year ago. I saw this one video about a really fat dude who lost weight and I was like wow I can do this too, and I did. I don’t know how I would have turned out if I didn’t change
agreed, this inspired me to get on my bicycle
I needed this. I've lost 30 and need to lose another 50. The last 2 months have been hard. Thank you.
Nothing easy is worth it! I'm on the other end and I'm way too skinny. I have to force myself to eat, but I think the hardest part is exercising regularly. If I don't, I'll be a skinny guy who looks pregnant.
This is good for me to hear. Last time I weighed myself, I was in my early 300s. I don't have a scale at home so idk how much I weigh right now, but since the beginning of the month, I've been dedicated to lose weight and get healthier. I was told that 130 mins of exercise a week is a good start so I started going to the gym 5 days a week and using the exercise bike. My minimum is 30 minutes on the bike a day and I also had already been cutting my calorie in-take before I started going back to the gym. I try to push myself and do at least 35 minutes of exercise or more if I can push myself but since losing weight, I've been feeling like I have more energy and I sometimes go over my daily minimum. Before I started, my stomach was bigger than my chest and now my stomach is smaller than my chest. I probably haven't lost much weight but the little weight I did lose has made me feel a lot better. It also has helped my posture. I think I had an issue with slouching cuz my stomach was too big, and now I'm able to consistently walk comfortably with my shoulders back. When I started a few weeks ago, I struggled to keep up 60 rotations per min on the bike and now I can more easily do 70 rotations per min on the bike. I'm no where near ready to stop this, but I'm just feeling really proud of myself and hopeful that I'll be in a much better spot by the holidays if I keep this up.
And btw, I also don't eat 100% healthy. I can't afford healthy grocery food cuz I don't have my snap card rn, so I have eaten a little bit of fast food (not much cuz it makes me sick.) But I will sometimes eat 1 or 2 things from the dollar menu and then I'll be full. But I definitely decreased my overall calories cuz I don't eat 3 meals a day anymore. I eat a small breakfast and then a medium sized/small dinner which is mostly stuff i cook at hime like soups and chili. I eat slowly and when my body says I'm full I stop eating, I don't over eat anymore.
It's all a mind game basically. If your mind tells you it's too hard then your body will give up. You gotta have an end goal in mind and keep picturing that goal whenever you're tempted to quit. For me, it's wearing certain clothes like crop tops confidently. I don't want my belly hanging out for everyone to see, so I'll just need to lose weight so I won't feel bad.
2 years ago, I stumbled upon this channel.
What caught my attention was how direct & no sugarcoating the entire concept of the videos are.
Last year was one of the lowest point of my life, and I was 20 years old only. Weighed at about 308 lbs, but something in me snapped.
Currently, at 292 lbs and even more so determined to be better. To anyone that’s going thru change, work on it and trust the process.
We’ve got an entire future ahead of us ❤
Keep up the good job brother we believe in you.
Great work, keep going
Good job ! I wish you all the best on your journey :)
Congratulations! I hope that things are looking up for you this year 💞
Let’s go 🔥
You and many other red pill UA-camrs helped me with my problem with obesity. I always knew it was a problem but having these fat acceptance people on tik tok made me feel like it was ok to be that way like mentioned in the video. I deleted majority of social media and started working on myself 4 months ago. I used to be in the 380 lbs range and now I’m 270 lbs range. Being obese gave me an umbilical hernia and it was ulcerating. If the hernia got infected I could’ve died. Now that I’ve lost a decent amount of weight, I can get a hernia repair surgery and not have to worry about it anymore. The hernia is painful and the death scare was real. Having people like you calling out bullshit and telling the truth helped me realize I was in denial… thank you for all of your videos.
Good stuff brother, keep it up.
🙌 so proud of you
I’ve always been saying this to myself too, it would be so much easier if I weren’t getting mixed signals in society where there are “opportunities” for heavier people to live the lives they want, it’s all false, and there definitely needs to be a change. Very proud of your effort, keep it up, you’re making the world a better place while making your world a better space

What a great channel you have with very thoughtful reflections. And I like the lovely photos that is shown as well!
Some about today's episode:
The woman with the lipedema had also a couple episodes on her social media trying to blame medical fatphobia for her problems at the same she would not have gone to stage 4 of massive lipedema undetected unless she was so massively oversized. And the self treatment of daily massage and compression she didn't do for more than a few weeks because "who has got the time?!?!"
The woman in the first clip in the "What I eat in a day", Jordyn (who perhaps was not a total FA because she sometimes seemed to mock reasoning and habits of fat people), recently went public with that she had been diagnosed with cancer that is one of those most common with obese people and changed her habits to lose the excess weight. I don't think she is even 30 years old.
On medical fat phobia it probably can happen but my experience is the opposite, a couple of years I go I was diagnosed with depression (a few years later they saw I had hypothyroidism). I became overweight which I thought was the antidepressant, I was below BMI of 30 but was still concerned over what I thought was rapid weight gain which did not go away with significant amount of cardio and eating healthier (I did not eat much junkfood to begin with but high carb which is like a cultural thing for those engaged in endurance activities). But it was me who brought it up with the doctors and almost everyone shrugged it off with "But you're not even obese!" and that the negative physical aspect of it could be just a side effect of medication (which still did about nothing to improve my energy levels which was the reason to why I was prescribed it). So my personal experience is that the approach is one of avoidance at a stage where it better could be addressed, i.e. they may have perhaps been addressing it if I had gone to BMI of 30-35 or more?
as someone who is on a weight loss journey and weighing the lowest I've ever weighed.. the biggest struggles for me are having almost no support, changing my entire lifestyle, and a massive lack of knowledge ( turns out you don't need much knowledge at all, just add more vegetables and fruits, drink more water and eat less food in general ).. ontop of getting diabetes and things under control.. but man.. the change in mental health is insane.. let alone physical health.. I'm doing things now I never dreamed of doing.. and quicker then i ever could of dreamt.. I have mental disabilities and things that genuinely make it alot harder for me.. but plot twist.. my mental disabilities and health problems are all better due to living healthier and working on being a better person.. turns out being healthier is a natural and good way to help with mental illness and things.. better then any drug could.. only thing I would say is for people like myself, the first step to losing the weight is working on your lifestyle and the mentality you have towards life.. if you find a reason and a purpose that matters to you, then losing weight comes naturally.. for me I found out I really love exploring new places.. but I couldn't do it because of health problems.. which gave me the motivation and reason i needed to lose weight.. and now i feel the best I've ever felt in my life and i get to explore and go new places and actually enjoy it and love it.. anyway, I wish anyone and everyone the best with life, I hope you all stay positive and happy.. have a good day :)
A coworker of mine (first responder field of work) who is older has torn a muscle in his side-not pulled-but severely torn. He tore this muscle because a morbidly obese person on the ground needed to be picked up. They refused to help move their own body weight at all. Went all limp noddle. My coworker’s doctor has stated that it’s possible he may need surgery. Due to his age this injury for our line of work may end his career. People say “don’t worry about it because it doesn’t effect you”. Well…it does. It literally does effect me that other people are morbidly obese because I have to lift them on a daily basis. Also before you say anything also understand that my job involves many many things-not just lifting obese people. I did not choose this profession for lifting them. I chose it for many other reasons.

As a skinny person who gets asked by random people "Are you eating okay" its definitely not just fat people who are judged,
I just get told to eat a cheeseburger 😂
Just say yes
It's jealousy
@@DefineLines sounds like something obese people would say if they're being judged for being fat.
No, it's very much possible to have concern for someone extremely underweight without feeling jealous about them and for them.
Also eating (believe it or not) ages you and is hard on your body so consider yourself lucky.
I have a very similar story to Ethan. All my life I've been told these vague things about how it's all about what you eat, counting calories is just going to make you quit, just eat when you feel like it. And all my life I've basically never made even a good dent in my obesity (and I've been obese since like grade school). Weight loss became this vague impossible thing that just did not seem like something that can happen to me. I'm eating all the right things, but nothing is happening (it sure won't if you keep eating it by the armful, no matter how healthy it theoretically is), something must be wrong with me.
Now I'm over 30, suffering from various health conditions and just done with the idea that food will ever actually help me. It's ruined my body and solved none of my problems. I wanted to stop. And I really just figured, finally, that it can't be some magical thing, it's just thermodynamics: energy comes in, energy is used, excess is stored. So I started a notebook on my phone, and I mark down every meal, every calorie, I eat, and have daily quotas. It's made all the difference, in many ways. For one, it makes me realize how much I was eating previously, and how much calories things have. For two, it dispels all vagueness around what I eat and how much. And finally, it's the first time in my life I've actually managed to start losing weight in a way that feels like I'm actually controlling it. I'm checking my notes, I'm making a chart of my weight loss, I see exactly how everything is working. No magic, no vagueness. There are no "just a bit won't hurt" mouthfuls. That piece of chocolate was nearly a 100 calories, it ain't nothing.
(And it also means I can actually give myself a break and eat something "unhealthy" without feeling like shit, since I write it down and see exactly how much it is and what that implies for other food I eat that day. Before I'd feel so goddamn bad for eating any snack because it felt like a failing. Now I can actually work with it.)
People who give advice like "Don't think about the calories, just eat the proper things and only when you're hungry" etc are often people who have no idea what a lifetime of obesity does to someone's sense of these things. Last year, I literally could not tell you what is a "normal" amount of something to eat, or how often is normal to eat. If you tell me to eat only when I feel like I need to, I'm eating all the time. I'm not coming into this with a lifetime of learning healthy eating habits, my normals are eating a lot, and often.
People say counting calories is a hassle. For me, it is just taking all the stress, vagueness and woo out of all this. I feel so much better knowing how much I ate and that it is according to my deficit goals. I can look at my calorie diaries and know that I'm actually doing this. And it's the first time ever I feel like I can actually do this. I'm sure it won't work for everyone, but many other methods sure don't seem to be working either, so I really think it's worth a shot at least.
Such videos keep me fasting.
It's insane to me that they think people can't keep weight off.
I was 250 lbs (5'11") at my heaviest around 16 years old, and pretty much the moment I had an ounce of independence, I lost the weight and hit my goal of 180 lbs. at 21, and have maintained 170-190 lbs for nearly a decade. Thankfully for me, I'm very money motivated and healthy food is extremely cheap in comparison to fast food and processed food (despite what they'll tell you), and this has been my secret weapon to keep the weight off.
Anyone who tells you that it's impossible to keep it off is just someone who aimed for a number instead of a lifestyle change.
If you can spend 2-4 hours a week cooking, fresh food is like 2-3 times cheaper than any fast-food.
Speaking of money motivation, I’ve found that it’s good for ensuring your meals are smaller as well
Healthy food is really cheap if you’re cooking it
It’s the organic processed food that’s expensive. Just because it’s organic cake, doesn’t mean it’s healthy. If you make your meals from scratch with unprocessed ingredients, you will be healthier. And it’s cheaper than you might think.
@@Baldbutstillhuman exactly, and people always use places like health food stores and say "see see it's expensive" it's because it's mostly still processed and tons of exotic food and they completely ignore the fact every grocery store has plenty of cheaper healthy options...

I enjoyed a lot of the older movies that he was in throughout the 90s and early 2000s. He looks great, though, and it’s nice to see someone do so well for themselves after years of being known as “that one fat guy in movies”. No surgeries … just good dieting, exercising, and having an actual positive mindset.
That’s the type of positivity that should be encouraged and pushed more.
Take note of how many of these people will scream and call him names for losing weight. They did the same thing to a few celebrities of late. The last thing they want is a positive role-model and an example of success that proves they're just lazy and undisciplined. FFS, they get weight-loss surgery and STILL can't lose weight.
I love that you mentioned Dr.Mike. Best guy for working out and healthy weight loss.
Man... I've been trapped in the opposite cult for 4 years too. A pro anorexic cult. I truly believed being like 70lbs and under was healthy and anything higher was fat and disgracious. Having the lowest BMI was a competition and we were all so insecure that we had to pretend we were better than the other because we were ''disciplined'' enough to not eat anything. We were all encouraging and influencing each other down a dark path on some websites and forums. After multiple health scares and realising that it was complete bullshit, I decided to start recovering (which was very recently). Everything you said sound so familiar but on the total opposite side of the spectrum. Now it's so hard to eat enough on a daily basis and, just like you said, not returning to old, bad habits. I don't know how people obviously see a problem with pro anorexics but not with those fat activists when it's the exact same thing, one extreme and the other! Your videos help me out a lot.
That's so sad. I've heard it's this way in many parts of Japan, and the girls there are very fat conscious and are thin.
I think that certain videos talking about how disgusting fat people are, will cause you to have a trigger that makes you go down the anorexic path, because you don't want to be fat. Watching all these videos, scared and nervous of being fat... Then boom, a traumatic incident and then it happens, the darkness.
The thing is, we need to be kind and positive to people. Sure, it's not okay to be at either extreme, but don't treat the people like they are trash, because then it's going to make them double down on their path and the mental illness involved. DO PEOPLE THINK THAT AN OBESE PERSON DOESN'T KNOW THEY ARE OBESE AND THERE IS AN ISSUE? Only a small portion of people (pretty much only f-ist left-ist, lib women are this way). It's the same with the anorexic group you speak about, because they are only a small portion of very thin/anorexic people.
I would think that many of these people need soft kindness; however, many in here posted how "toughness" changed them. I think that "toughness" can make someone change, because they don't want to be made fun of, or treated like an outcast.... But then you're just a follower, following others on someone else's path... Not going down your own path, with the help and support of others.
That's the difference to me.

My suggestion to you is to find a local dairy farm and start drinking farm fresh milk that isn't heated at all. That will help you in all sorts of ways including putting on weight and getting you a ton of extremely beneficial nutrients, as well as fixing your gut microbiome which most likely was damaged with what you were doing.
I personally have fasted by not eating for 3 days at a time, but I weighed 300lbs and had the fat stores to do this. I also assume your group didn't follow fasting protocols, and people were probably still eating during the day... but tiny amounts... Right? Not eating will allow the body to heal and do a lot of good things if it has the fat storage, but if you don't have the fat storage, and you're just eating tiny amounts... That's going to be bad.
I keep thinking: how much do these people hate anorexia getting promoted like that? Because I know there's still ana cults, but the irony both think they're better than other, not understanding they're more similar than they are different
Eating Disorders are becoming more and more common now a days, eating disorder meaning the inability to diet or eat regularly. I’m glad that you see both sides of it and are out of that mindset, it is mega important to always keep balance with your body. Your body is a temple that needs a strong foundation to stand on
That is terrifying. I'm glad you managed to get yourself out of there, keep up the good work.
I was thinking about this too. When I was younger, anorexia was doing the same thing to girls especially. I went through a bout of it myself, and so did my daughter’s best friend, so I understand how it traps you mentally and emotionally. Good luck with your recovery! Love your body. It’s your best friend in life. ❤
“I go to the gym” A line that is the enemy of all fat acceptance activists
Pretty sure they would consider it harassment if too many of their "followers" said "Ok thx, now I'm going to the gym" under their FA videos 🤔😏

Went from 188.8lbs in 2017 to 140lbs today just by changing my daily patterns. I cut out 80% of my sugar intake, have a very demanding physical job (backroom retail) which I'm constantly moving, lifting, pulling boxes/pallets, etc....and stay active at home. Walking/jogging and watching how much I eat has given me way more energy and stamina than ever before. I'm 45, male and 5'7 height. Look great, feel great and generally way more happy than those who don't take care of themselves.
Self-preservation is not selfish/narcissistic/fat shaming, etc... It is showing yourself that you care about your health and others.

Whatever, the fat/hoe/trans issue is a problem that solves itself. They die early, alone, or of themselves. All you have to do is look away and do what they’re not doing. It’s ok to be heartless during these times. You’re not doing anything wrong. Just don’t do anything. Darwin.
but they want to look good and making some money while at it
This really made me realize that food is an addiction like any other, it seems perfect in the moment like this doesn’t hurt. Fast forward some years and now you have heart issues from over eating or lung problems from smoking
I was doing really well in my last maintenance period, and then I got pregnant and ate all the things 😂 don't get me wrong, I'm still lighter than my original starting weight bit definitley not where I thought I would be when I started my journey in 2020. But I'm not gonna blame the food or the pregnancy or anyone else. I over ate, then had my son and ate because I was overwhelmed. And now I am trying to get back on track. Your message of blaming no one other than yourself is so refreshing. It's why people didn't agree with what I was doing when I originally started loosing weight. People saw me eating things like bread, butter, the occasional pizza and scoffed at my 'diet' even though the results were easy to seem. It's so easy to blame food for your weight, but that weight doesn't come off untill you realise that it is you that is the problem.
The "body positive" movement always shows its true colors when one of their own successfully takes control of their health. Misery loves company, but what's more it HATES personal responsibility.
absolutely
I don't set out to hurt someone's feelings, but I'm not going to pretend either. Their feelings don't supersede by adherence to reality.
I was living with a sjw that was a victim 3x (weight, mental health and lesbian). It was close to impossible to have any kind of conversation without her pulling out one of her victim cards. Anyhow, my bloodwork came back as pre-diabetic, which of course I found concerning. She comes home one day and I mention to her that I'm pre-diabetic and really need to get more broccoli into my life. She completely freaks out on me! How dare I mention "diet" (I didn't, just broccoli)! Her girlfrind was on psych meds that were causing her to gain weight and the mention of diet harmed her mental health. I sat in stunned silence. The girlfriend in question wasn't even in the house. The following day she pranced into the house, girlfriend in tow, each sucking down a huge fattening, sugary frozen shake-like drink. Not only was she enabling her girlfriend to deepen her weight-related self-esteem issues, she was flaunting something that could, theoretically, be highly triggering to me (this happened 6 years ago and I only now realized the irony).
Remember, it always needs to fit their very own narrative.
yeah all im gonna say is that if you cant handle other people mentioning weight loss or trying to help you out with it in a calm and non-judgemental manner that is not normal. if you just get insulted thats something else entirely but if you cannot handle the mention of weight loss or weight loss topics that is an extremely fragile mental state.
Malignant narcisisst. EVERYTHING IS ABOUT MEEEEEE! And nothing is every MY fault, you toxic hater! Ugh. I hope you're away from that now.
At 6:20 this “doctor” says “throw willpower out the window” and honestly that perfectly describes this whole movement. I’m glad we have people like you with at least a working brain and a good grasp on basic concepts
i mean willpower really is a bad way to go about it. yeah, forming a habit is better, and trying to do it consistently is also better. willpower is bad cuz it runs out eventually. but her whole thing went out the window with the set points. idk wtf that was.

“No one owes you health” unless it’s something outside of your control, you are responsible for giving yourself better health.
They still don't owe you health in that case either, no treatment or the health of others around you can confer it upon you by association.
This was the nonsense going on with covid, the insistence by TV experts that vovid affected everyone the same regardless of your physical state.
Taking the jab somehow affects someone next to you etc etc.
No accountability and state daddy needs to come rescue me at every turn
Or if you use taxpayer funds to get healthcare, which many of these people do. You owe the people funding your care the best health you can achieve.
Society doesn't owe these people accommodation either! If we had it their way, we'd only be able to fit twenty people on a plane. None of this is sustainable, for them OR society.
I support this channel, usually thumb up content, leave a comment to help algorithm, etc, and I don't think I've ever left a negative comment, but there was one piece of commentary I disagreed with. That dietician (or whatever) in the first half of the video talking about there's a maintenance weight your body wants to stay at, I believe, is absolutely true. I work out, have been for over a decade. Dabbled in body building, transitioned to power lifting - properly maintaining a caloric surplus, then shed over 40lbs switching to HIIT, and back to a modified balance of cardio and weight training. No matter what I did, my body always felt like it was pulling me to about 205 lbs. When I got up to 230 at peak of PL, I had to force food in my face like a zombie to maintain my strength, and when I started sprinting and doing HIIT, cutting in a deficit, I became absolutely ravenous when I dipped below 195. When I fell into the 180 range it took extreme discipline to maintain that weight. No matter what I did, how i trained, or how I ate, my body likes being 205. Now, what the dietician was saying was more "what her body is telling her to weigh is broken", so it's like.. my body says 205, but that obese woman's body is telling her 350. Do I agree with that..? Idk. Idk how ghrelin, insulin, and the brain work. I just don't. But is the doctor technically correct that there *is* a setpoint for a person's body? Yes. Can that setpoint be broken or disrupted by hormones and brain chemistry? ...maybe? but again, right or wrong, there is, in fact, a setpoint the brain tries to communicate to the body to maintain through hormones. That's all. I love the content. Keep it up.
Holy shit. Seeing the results of Ethan in the video is the push I needed. I'm 30 years old and 350+ lbs. It's time to change my lifestyle.
I'm starting today and eating at a caloric deficit at the very least, if it's the only thing I do

She said it's okay to be unhealthy. No, my mother is severely overweight and I get stuck paying the medical bills and because of her inability to lose that weight, I can't afford a new truck for work. Obesity doesn't just hurt themselves but others.
Someone kinda pointed out that these people make this shit up because America doesn't have any real on the surface issues so they create problems. Instead of tackling their problems mentally, they go on Tik Tok and gaslight other people that whatever is wrong with them isn't bad. I had an ex literally try to tell me she has OCD because of Tik Tok.
why do you support addicts? You work hard for your money stop paying HER problems, she doesn't try to stop so why pay
@@jwcob1239 Because she's my mother. Despite all that, I at least owe it to her to be a son before she dies. I wasn't a great son most of my life so I'm making up for it. I got into fights, kicked out of high school and burned through whatever cash I had on drugs and liquor. Even after dismissing her, she loved me all the same. I do this cause I'm ashamed of myself that I didn't treat her right despite her efforts. She started developing these eating habits because of me, constantly worrying about me wondering if I was dead in a ditch or overdosing. I'll pay for it, because I don't deserve her.
@@sayxxdx thats fair enough, I would say I get it but I don't because I've never been in that spot before, but I do see why you do it to be honest. Your a good person
Moreover, that mentality is being shared and adopted by other countries! In my own university a los of fat girl go fuck healthy food, if you don't like me you're racist!
Yes, we call it "First World Problems."
if people were walking around with yellow tinted skin and eyes because they are all jaundice, obviously, we would say something. We wouldn’t be telling them, this is acceptable and this is beautiful or putting them on the front pages of magazines because they obviously have some issues going that need to be addressed.
Or the orange guy from House MD

same medical system that says it can turn men in to women or that badly trialled experimental treatments were safe and effective
11:25 an example of a butter body! :O
I find it hilarious when people are like "I don't eat that much!" and they're 250+ pounds
well, you may not eat much, but that LITER O COLA isn't helping your sedentary lifestyle
Just found this channel TOP TIER
Im 18 eat whatever I want and still maintain my weight by working out.
I love how they say that you can't tell if somebody is healthy just by whether they are fat or thin. Because somebody thin might have this that or the other.
Sure, somebody who is thin MIGHT be unhealthy. But somebody who is fat is DEFINITELY unhealthy.
Finally got down from 115kg to 85kgs by cutting out excessive meal sizes and exercising. Going to start hitting the gym soon so I can look and feel better. I hated being a chubby jiggly wiggly
lets go brooo!! im so happy to read this. You´ll love the gym!
Yeah man Im almost two meters tall and was 125kg a year and a half ago now im 90kg because of diet and workouts I feel so much better being in shape.
None of these fat acceptance loosers will ever know how good it feels to have a study body and to move swiftely.
Keep going brothers we are the last line of defence against degenerac 💪
I used to work in an international airport, cabin cleaning. Very laborious job. Not only do you have to be able to fit between the aisles to vacuum the tiny spaces, you have to constantly bend down to pick up rubbish as well as in the overhead cabins. There's a lot, a LOT of lifting: bags full of rubbish, stock (blankets, pillows, headsets, cases of waterbottles etc) as well as constantly going up and down the staircases (since it's the only way to access each aircraft). Oh, and you have time limits per aircraft since they are of course on a tight schedule. This is a very stressful environment (especially when 200+ passengers are just standing there at the gate waiting for just YOU to hurry tf up and finish vaccuuming...ahem)
The point is, we've had heaps of people, overweight or otherwise, get employed here and many of them couldn't last a week. But 99% of them after working for a month would lose noticeable amount of weight. At first a bit and then a LOT that they would worry about needing to buy a new work uniform. And mind you, our workplace was 60% women with the men reserved to do the heavy lifting of oversized items etc. Even I became underweight because of how physically intensive this job could be with near 10 hour shifts. No one who stays at that place for several months gains weight (unless you have a physical condition). Rather, it made me understand that no matter who you are, you *can* lose weight, and if you want to lose it quick, it takes a serious workout 5 times a week.....so find yourself a job like that and you won't need to pay for gym membership and instead will get paid to lose weight essentially, lol.
your vids are pretty good man
Can you imagine if this was another issue? Imagine if someone was covered in self-harm scars and a whole group of people that self-harm are gaslighting everyone about how beautiful and healthy these people covered in scars are.
There are groups of people that praise or admire the people who cut themselves and are looked down on (rightfully so) same with pro anorexia groups, both are looked at as wrong. The other end of the spectrum is fat activists. Scars come after recovery. Being fat is actively harming yourself.
Look at shtwt it’s exactly what you just described
scary how the “only if you’re part of the sickness, will you be sick enough to find it beautiful” applies here too. speaking from experience, and thats how i ended up losing my closest friend.
"You can't tell a person health by how they look"
Bruh, when they are THAT SIZE, yes, yes we can.
You can say the same thing about a meth addict 🤷🏻♂️
@@markcoroneos7811 Fr, whenever I see an extremely thin person. I automatically think drug addict or cancer or anorexia.
1.) health can be beautiful
2.) "you can't judge a person based on how they look" well, what about drug addicts? with some drugs, you can totally tell if someone's a user.
About a year ago I set myself the goal of being able to nail pull ups / chin ups. I could do one barely. I now pop out 14+ every set, that with walking an hour a day and diet has changed me from jelly to ripped. Good luck to everyone trying to better themselves, you can do it 👍
Bariatric/Trauma nurse here. I loved the hospital care point. Beds are almost 10x more expensive, we have HUMAN CRANES in the rooms that have to be weight rated to 1001lbs. I have a torn lat muscle right now due to rolling a patient. IM A POWERLIFTER IN THE USPC WITH MULTIPLE STATE RECORDS!
Do you get workers comp for that?
As an obese person my entire life, I concur that the body positivity movement has gotten WAY outta hand. While I'm glad to see plus size models to show what clothes look like on larger bodies, to say that those bodies are #goals is ridiculous
Lose weight
Or attractive
@@noturbusiness123 do u wear the clothes u wear for others?
I hope u make more videos like this
I listen to these vids to motivate me when I work out
Ty so much
Ive started to work out more, I want to be able to have better upper body strength so I can do full push ups like other people
you got this brother!
@@fibsh7453have been busy with uni work sadly, but i am eating less (not taking seconds XD)
As someone who loveessss high calorie condiments and dressings way too much, switching to a lower calorie option has made sticking to my weight loss journey so much easier. I can still have a salad with yummy ranch, I just gotta measure it first 😊 Bolthouse farms for the win!
0:18 she ABSOLUTELY has worth. That’s the exact reason why we need to acknowledge the fact that she IS unhealthy. If you have someone as obese as her in your personal life and you just sit back and say nothing, you don’t care for them, you’re killing them. That’s not compassion. Girl kept it 💯
worth for a back alley chinese restaurant or the entire unhealthy living pushing medical industry? 🤔
Agreed. I have an obese friend who I have not known that long. I try to support him gently in making better choices. Food addiction is tough to beat.
@@kittytrail she deserves to live as long as possible
I can’t tell people what to do.
@@mssophiad03 you mean as _short_ as she is, right? that's not "worth" except for others to milk it. 😑
I'm 5"9. when I was 28 I was about 220lb (I was usually around 170ish before)and I started drinking beer heavily, on top of eating large amounts of bad foods every nite I got up to 260lb in 6 months and let me tell you, in that short amount of time, I would lose my breath quicker, I couldn't move as quick, I felt joint pain, and I'm not 100% sure but I really think this unhealthy life style contributed to me getting appendicitis. After I got an appendectomy, I cut out drinking large amounts of beer, and stopped eating the huge amounts of food I would consume daily. I'm 41 Im at 178lb and I feel better than I did in my late 20s, I look better, and I'm not depressed! Look at the damage being obese did to me in such a short amount of time, and keep in mind I was in my prime age wise. This fat acceptance movement is so dangerous. Dear Lord how did society get so stupid?
I swear the beer does it all!
Beer is also a nice gateway substance into horrible foods.
I am 5’11” and got up to 225 pounds. Obese.
Now im at 195 lbs. feel better, move better, look better, THIS should be my heaviest!
I think we got to this level of stupidity when they decided that feelings were more important than facts. Like he said in this video, there's probably money involved behind all this with food industry lobbyist
You're 41, you just came into your prime.
I'm right behind you. I was 200lbs as a HS senior, 308lbs in 2021, 208 today, on the way to 180ish. I feel way better than any time younger.
I'm starting life number 2 when I turn 40, this time I get to start on 3rd base lol.
