@@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...
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.
I'm not obese, but I am a bit fat (especially around the stomach) and have been turning that fat into muscle while watching videos like these. I got sick of being the slow one and fell in love with parkour. Can't do parkour while being the slow one, soooooooo
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
@@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.
@@Ivannbeats Sumos do eat massive amounts of food, but at the same time, they are always working out and competing. Most of the fat on a sumo is on the outside, and not between the organs which is very important. If a sumo stops the training and continues to eat the same way, their health can be in trouble rather quickly.
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.
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.
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?
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!
Oof. I quit being a CNA for that reason. No way am I sacrificing MY body to take care of you because you can’t take care of yourself. Hour-long, disgusting bed baths getting into every nook and cranny and the time consuming process of changing the diapers and getting them properly cleaned because they’re too big to get up and use the toilet. And I always loved when they bossed me around or wanted to “sit down” which meant I had to get a hoyer big enough to support them, get them into it and then PUSH 450lbs. Holy shit! And because I was the youngest on the team (and maybe the strongest but I’m not that strong) it was MY job, of course. Wow. I loved my patients but I really hated the workload. At least it made 12 hour shifts fly by because of all the work involved. Also the pay was shit 😂
@@dolphin1418 no, it was an assisted living facility, one with many locations and it seems “luxury” and they charge the residents themselves an arm and a leg (some apartments on my floor went for $12K/mo) but their practices were SO BAD. Initially I was excited to get overtime AND they’d offer a bonus because it was always last minute (as in we need you to come in NOW, ASAP) or so I thought. Turns out due to some weird pay cycle they purposely created it wasn’t actually overtime and additionally I got HALF of my hourly rate, thus the “bonuses” which they didn’t even offer anyone, so by the time your paycheck comes around and the taxman takes his portion, it wasn’t worth it. So I had to chuckle a little at “hazard pay” since they barely paid me to begin with. And all my coworkers were incredibly lazy so, as someone who genuinely cared about the residents and wanted the best for them, I had to do the lion’s share of the work. Again, I still miss the residents/patients (because really despite being an “assisted living” facility, everyone was old and sick and needed a lot of help, so they were more patients than residents) but I really started resenting that place and the way they handled issues. ETA: sorry for the rant and thanks for asking! I got out before I could do any serious damage to my back but other than the obese patients, there was still a lot of lifting and moving of wheelchair bound patients as well, so it was a physically taxing job since I’m not that big/strong and all the residents weighed more than me.
@@LissyVee I feel that. I had a patient fall out of bed onto me last year and it tore my MCL. We were transferring her and her didnt have a bariatric hoyer on our unit. Same woman would complain about every aspect of her care.
This world is becoming like one of those dreams where you're the only coherent and sensible person while everyone else tries to convince you that you're crazy.
“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” until the advent of social media, the average idiot stayed under their rocks and could be ignored. now, theyre in your face trying to convince you that fat is beautiful and that men can become women...
A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, 'You are mad; you are not like us. St. Antony the Great (4th Century AD)
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
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 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.
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.
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
As a woman, the same for me and why i watch these videos. One day i found i was nearly 200lbs. I was in denial massively. I’m now losing it back to 147 where i was 5 years ago. These videos help me so much too.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
"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.
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
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.
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
I hope he keeps it up. But I understand he wants to research deeply into topics before making videos, so I'm sure he's trying to strike a balance of more content and quality content
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
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.
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.
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.
@@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
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.
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
Awesome work!!! Keep up the good work!!! It's not easy grinding, but it's not supposed to be easy!! We can't enjoy the view from the top of the mountain without going through the difficulties of the hike!!! Fall in love with the challenges of the climb!!
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
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. ❤
@@gabrielrouleau8885 Many of these eating disorders exist because of the hate towards fat people. Anorexics eat that way so they don't get fat, fat phobia people are that way because of the hate they receive being fat. Basically, hate and abuse is the cause. If people were nicer to each other, we wouldnt have these issues.
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.
@@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.
If someone is covered in open sores, cant stand up, is coughing, and pooping thier pants, and puking, YOU CAN PLAINLY SEE WITH YOUR EYES ALONE, THEY ARE SICK
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.
I am fat, not obese but I want to say thank you. Because of your vids I motivated myself to lose 6kg in around 40days and gain some muscle. I can't belive that some people are so deeply gone that they can't see that they are the problem.
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.
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 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.
Just leave em there lol what are they gonna do? Getup and file a lawsuit? Lol dead people have a very hard time filing lawsuits. Judge:why did you leave the patent on the ground? Paramedic:she was 650lbs sir. Judge:fair enough case dismissed
@@roymcgrath9236 oh I agree. I , myself, make sure we have plenty of people there. I’ll make them wait an hour before we move them just to make sure we have plenty of help. I’m not throwing my back out for anyone. There have been some situations where we have to call in farm equipment to move someone. The person magically was able to get up when the call was placed. Convenient
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 ❤
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 Also, you know what's cheaper than eating loads of junk food? Eating less junk food! You can still lose weight eating relatively unhealthy food. The main problem is that you're unlikely to be getting the right balance of nutrients.
He's absolutely right, sales for Nestle, ConAgra Foods, Mondelez International, Monsanto, Quaker, and Unilever skyrocketed around the same time Reality TV viewership, and social media usage did. No way that was a coincidence. Fat acceptance came after obesity skyrocketed during that time too.
Worked as a certified EMT for 3 years, you are definitely taught to evaluate the look of the patient. You have to decide on "Sick" or "Not sick" and have the appropriate urgency.
“This man is clearly unwell and needs treatment!” “Now hold on, you can’t know that!” “His arm is missing and his shoulder is spraying blood everywhere!” “Now we can’t judge someone for how they want to live their life.”
That’s first level triage.. We use our eyes to assess 90% of our interpretation of our surroundings. Anyone who tells you not to believe your eyes is implementing fascism.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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'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
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.
@@ConsistentlyInconsistent21 Its amazing, but he shouldn't push it to far like with fat people people who are too skinny can also have there own problem
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.
You were the accidental catalyst of my life change. This point of view (reality) is pretty much non-existent on UA-cam and other media sites unless you search it out. I stumbled on your account by pure chance, and hearing you talk will always motivate me now, because I associate your voice with the point in my life where I did a complete 180. Might sound a little weird, but whatever. You have a great mind and I appreciate your videos.
Yea cold hard truth alongside good caring advice isn't all too common or popular in the main stream. Hope you stick to it and do better and better friend.
hey bro, sis, idk. Whatever you struggling with, good luck soldier. I recommend watching the Fat Woman Anorexia vid he has bc it shows some insight into how hard recovery is.
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
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 💪
My mom works as a CNA (Nurse Aid Assistance), and sometimes she comes back home feeling sore because she had to move obese patients. One time, she told me a story when they had to use 4 or 5 people to move someone to prevent the skin from breaking down due to immobility. It's like going to the gym for her
That's ridiculous! No CNA or nurse should have to risk personal injury simply because the patient is obese....and I was being nice. I'll just leave it at that.
@@FlavorFlav999 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.
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).
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.
It's my brain telling me I need to get my healthy dose of heron again! I'm not an unhealthy junkie I just don't have enough heron in my veins to maintain my healthy threshold!
"You can't determine someone's health just by how they look." When I got pneumonia: 1. Looking like I can't breathe 2. Looking like I'm always shivering 3. Looking like I'm crying from intense back pain 4. Looking like I'm always congested 5. Looking like I'm always using my inhaler more than usual 6. Looking like I'm always holding my head from the intense headaches 7. Looking like I'm always coughing up thick white mucus If you wanna stay on the subject of "fat acceptance," I was categorized as obese after post-partum, which really worsened my asthma. Solution: running and yoga breathing. Only have to use my inhaler once a day
I'm not too overweight, only about 15 pounds over an ideal weight, but your videos give me motivation to take charge of my weight and gain some muscle. Thank you. Edit: Thank you all for your encouragement. I've lost about 3 pounds so far
Keep it up you got this. Try not to pay attention to a scale too much if it’s not outrageous if you’re getting to an ideal body. I had a scale tell me I gained a couple pounds but my body felt healthier and I could breathe a little easier. I felt stronger and more progress towards my goal. What matters is how fit you are. You got this, keep the grind up
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.
At thirty years old I am 5’ 10” and weigh 337 pounds, I need to lose this fat NOW before something horrible happens. Your videos are helping me get into the right mindset little by little, thank you.
Carnivore diet without excuses and guarantee you'll do it. Then start adding fruit when you get to your goal weight. Shit works. Get to it or die young and leave the excuses for the failures.
40 years old. 6'2". Weighed 308lbs. I just ate _less_ of everything I had been eating (tracked intake, limited myself to 2200 calories or less) Drank more water. Walked for at least an hour everyday. In 6 months I was down to 218lbs. Don't check the scale daily. Weekly at the most, just be consistent on time of day that you do check it.
@@leifbarstow4844 I feel you G, I almost drove myself bananas because I was checking the scale almost each day when it's better to check yourself every week.
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.
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.
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!
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 :)
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
15:42 “Ultimately this all comes down to an issue with skill, because weight loss is a skill.” My man just skill-issued the entire fat population. absolute legend.
One thing I think about a lot is the fact that the average person can survive three weeks without food before dying. I know so many people that don’t know the last time they went longer than 3 hours without food. Humans are fucking badass and I wish more people would realize their full potential. BRB going to fast for 2 weeks and then spear hunt BECAUSE I FUCKING CAN.
This channel is a big reason why I decided to start living a healthier lifestyle. The points made in these videos are direct, simple, and well-reasoned. About a month ago, I stopped eating so much every day, started walking 3 miles a day plus what I do for my job, and I've been feeling much better physically and mentally. I've lost about 7 pounds in a month and I'm planning to start actual workouts soon so I can start gaining muscle. It feels good to be accomplishing something, even if it's simple. :)
I used to weight 120 kgs, it tooks 1 years to see progress, and 3 more years to get it down to 80 kg. It is a marathon, keep it up you will feel better and better everyday and will be proud of yourself.
When homegirl said ' you cant determine someones health by their looks'!!!!! 😡😡😡 What! I use to work with someone who called themselves a manager that didnt have bottom teeth!!! NO ONE ! Took him seriously..Hell Nah! Im tired of these weirdos ..and why are they always other women ! Its frustrating
Me, at the hospital: "Yea doc my leg has been hurting since the accident" Doc: "Well, it's clearly broken. There's bone sticking through your skin." "SHUT UP! YOU SHUT UP! YOU CAN'T VISUALLY ASSESS MY HEALTH!"
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.
I've said this on Amberlynn Reid's channel because she's been on a "weight loss journey" for 10 years and gained 200+ lbs instead of losing and shoots off "f@tphobic" to anyone who is trying to help her. Anyway, I worked as a CNA in few nursing homes and mostly it's elderly residents. There's always one 30-40 something year old bariatric patient there because they couldn't take care of themselves or have family to do it so they were sent to the nursing home. And everyday, we had to wash them in bed because they refused to get up or they couldn't walk anymore due to the weight, and let me tell you about the smell. Despite washing them everyday, they smelled foul and I feel bad for saying it. Ammonia thrown right in your face and the heat was blasted inside the room. I remember having to wear a mask to hide my reaction when we would roll them over and we get a whiff. We'd find mold in between the folds from the sweat built up. Fecal matter because they use bedpans and it's hard to wipe to get everything until bath time.. It was terrible and what sucks is that the patient just accepts it. They don't care they became like that and they won't do anything to change.
Do your bariatric patients ever lose weight while at your nursing home? Or are they somehow still maintaining the massive amount of calories it takes to stay at their size?
@@VerticalForklift While I was there, their care plans never really state any weight loss for them unless they spoke to their doctor about it and the doctor contacted the nurses at the nursing home. I do remember they were served the same meal as everyone else from the cafeteria but there was no ban for outside food except for those who ate soft foods. Even a few elderly residents were given alcohol by family who visited. So, most of the bariatric residents have family bring them snacks and other foods. There would be a pile of candies and junk food on their bedside tables. And a reminder; they aren't getting up to walk or exercise. The only exercise they got was from us turning them over in bed to clean them and their sheets.
Amber has always been like this ever since she was a kid. Unless she takes a good look in the mirror and takes accountability for her actions nothing will change. It's heartbreaking.
@@Sapanator Sadly, that may never happen. Over 10 years, she has had chances and opportunities and major wake-up calls, but that wasn't enough for her to admit accountability. Currently, she's up for weight-loss surgery but she keeps flip flopping about having a food addiction or binge disorder. At this point, I don't see much hope for her and that's just sad.
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.
@@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!
0:11 for a moment I thought that was a cut-up you know where they cut out a picture from another and then put it on a different thing that's why I thought the legs and shoes were for a moment
Determining someone's health by how they look is literally in every multi-cell organism' makeup. We are designed to choose who to be around and who to mate with based on how healthy they appear lol.
We live in a time we cant even define a woman go tell these people, that and see how they said how wrong and misoginy and hater, and all the ist and ism
I am not a fat advocate but as a culture we are told to find fat people unattractive. It used to be they were attractive because being fat meant wealthy (now it means eating too much which is easy in modern times) It is doubtful cave people would think "ew unattractive fat" they would see "oh wow excellent hunter" 😂 That being said keeping fit is best and we know being obese is unhealthy.
I'm 5'8 when I was severely depressed gained weight I ballooned up to 215 pounds. My psychiatrist said something that shifted my mind on it "You're are subconsciously killing yourself slowly. You're committing a slow suicide by allowing yourself to gain weight and inactive. You can either succumb to it or fight back." That woke my ass up. After a year and 2 months of calorie restriction drinking nothing but water and when needed for protein milk and having both a cardio and strength training routine. I lost 52 pounds and am now at a weight that's healthy for my height, but my goal is 145 now I'm less that 10 pounds away from that. My bone density has increased and I no longer get sciatic and neck pain from just sitting. Being obese is bad for you there is no easy way to put it. You fuck up all your organs, bones and teeth. Half the problems obese people have can be fixed with weight loss. It's not bad to love your body, but letting yourself balloon up to weights that can certainly kill you before age 40 isn't loving your body. You're just committing a slower form of suicide.
THANK YOU THANK YOU. I'm a nurse and you could not be more correct in your dissection of this issue. So happy to see almost 400k have heard what you've had to say here. Thank God.
Because of your content I’ve had the balls to call someone(coworker) out on her sht and I said I will quit my addiction too which is cigarettes. Things got super uncomfortable one day and I literally just said you’re going to die sooner then you think, and I got called a fat phobic. I was pretty upset for awhile and I was afraid I ruined a relationship. After two years later, and a bit of investment, this person is starting on a good path, oh and I quit smoking
whenever you get called an -ist or a -phobe, just wear it as a badge of pride. The type of people that would call you such are exactly the type of people that need therapy
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 💯
Am I the only one who instanteously cracks up when Think Before You Sleep breaks his masterfully crafted sarcasm? He is the king of expressing derisive language.
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?
Fun fact, i weighed 210lb with a bmi of 27 and my free triglycerides were 322 (should be under 150) Last nov. (6 months ago) I decided to lose some fat weight and put on some muscle. I now weight 187lb, my bmi is 23.9 barely in the normal range, yet my TGL is now at 190! Legit a 40% decrease. My diet is pretty much the same yet my LDL, HDL, TGL are all better. Some a lot better, some slightly better, yet its a great change. NO MEDICATION!!!
losing weight slowly is far better than fast! not only is it healthier, it lets your body physically adjust over time, and let's you adjust and get used to better habits. i went from being from 265 pounds to now 175 over the course of a year, i started slowly exercising more, and cooking my own healthy food! but i didn't starve myself, i just ate a bit less than what i needed and i was losing weight gradually but consistently, i can't explain the happiness i felt seeing it decline every week
That's definitely the best way to lose weight. Just cooking your own food and avoiding soda is enough for most people to lose a significant amount of weight, even without calorie counting, although you might plateau early without understanding how much you should eat.
I’m starting a life style change. Started July 1st. No eating out all homemade meals. Majority water as my drink. And tracking calories in my fitness pal going to for a 1 lb weight loss a week. Last night I didn’t factor olive oil to cook cabbage and needed to walk 30 mins. I’m disabled so walking is hard but i did it in bursts. I had one breakfast with a biscuit and honey and it wasn’t worth it. So I threw away biscuits and had overnight chia oats the next day.
I’ve found that I had zero motivation and even relapsed back to my starting point at 240 when I wasn’t seeing numerical progress on the scale past 209 at about 1800 calories a day for about a month. Now I aim for a little less than 1500 calories and I’m down past 209 all the way to 202 as of yesterday over the last 3ish months. Speed matters- do it at whatever pace you need to motivate yourself I say.
I was a Marine. We literally have height/weight standards. I was a class leader at my MOS school and wad supposed to help one Marine lose weight. He insisted he was “big boned”, he was “healthy” and would “work-out and hardly eat” but couldn’t lose weight. His workout’s were absolute jokes. He would eat salads at the chow hall but literally drowned his salads in ranch dressing and would clean the bowl (it literally looked like cereal). I told him you would probably be better off eating a cheeseburger with fries instead of that bowl of ranch. Many of these people are delusional.
At that point you would be better off just getting the burger and fries, carbs from the fries and bun make for simple energy that helps muscles function and protein from the meat to help grow muscle.
Yessir. I was in for 6 years and these fat acceptance people simply don’t get it. Crazy how they say all this but when it actually comes to a life or death scenario, you need to be in shape. You need to be able to run. Not only for yourself, but for your team as well. If you’re a casualty and get stuck out there it’s a real possibility that you’re costing the lives of other Marines who are trying to get you out of there. Even on the flip side. If you have to evac a casualty but you can’t because you’re too out of shape to carry them - they’re gone. Hopefully things worked out for your BCP buddy and he got it together. If not. Hey, man, people get discharged and admin sepped for that regularly.
I am male . I had my thyroid removed due to cancer and have to take medication for the rest of my life. My hormones are still out of wack and my diet and weight fluctuates like crazy . But I’ve never once blamed my thyroid problems as a reason for anything. I stay active and watch what I eat.
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
Always a good day when Think Before You Sleep uploads. I've had a really bad day and its finals week. Thank you for the upload, especially with you streaming as well. Lot of other creators would trade handmade vids for streams.
As someone who was a competitive athlete through high school and college- fitness is a mental skill. Realizing that it is just a battle against my own mind has made it impossible for me to blame anyone or anything else when I became unhealthy and gained 30lbs in my mid 20s. I just told myself that I refuse to lose to the weaker part of myself and got back in shape. I still talk myself through workouts, I still stare at my running shoes and remind myself to push through the hesitation.
That 1 slice of pizza was the size of a whole family pizza in Australia. I was told as a kid that your stomach is supposed to be the size of your fist. Imagine the giant blown up beach ball sized stomach they have inside their bellies. My organs are suffocating just thinking about it.
No amount of peer pressure is going to make me date someone that I'm not attracted to.

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...

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.

That’s not a “fun fact” that’s a terrifying fact
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

Update down 50 pounds with 20 more to my goal.
Giga based, make those gains my man💪
I'm not obese, but I am a bit fat (especially around the stomach) and have been turning that fat into muscle while watching videos like these. I got sick of being the slow one and fell in love with parkour. Can't do parkour while being the slow one, soooooooo
How the grind going?

Keep it up my brotha
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.
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.

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

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.

@@Ivannbeats Sumos do eat massive amounts of food, but at the same time, they are always working out and competing. Most of the fat on a sumo is on the outside, and not between the organs which is very important. If a sumo stops the training and continues to eat the same way, their health can be in trouble rather quickly.

It gets easier the more you do it, but you must make a daily routine of it. 💫
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??
Oof. I quit being a CNA for that reason. No way am I sacrificing MY body to take care of you because you can’t take care of yourself. Hour-long, disgusting bed baths getting into every nook and cranny and the time consuming process of changing the diapers and getting them properly cleaned because they’re too big to get up and use the toilet. And I always loved when they bossed me around or wanted to “sit down” which meant I had to get a hoyer big enough to support them, get them into it and then PUSH 450lbs. Holy shit! And because I was the youngest on the team (and maybe the strongest but I’m not that strong) it was MY job, of course. Wow. I loved my patients but I really hated the workload. At least it made 12 hour shifts fly by because of all the work involved. Also the pay was shit 😂
@@LissyVeefirst, did you get hazard pay for your damage to your back/serious. Second, how’s your back?
@@dolphin1418 no, it was an assisted living facility, one with many locations and it seems “luxury” and they charge the residents themselves an arm and a leg (some apartments on my floor went for $12K/mo) but their practices were SO BAD. Initially I was excited to get overtime AND they’d offer a bonus because it was always last minute (as in we need you to come in NOW, ASAP) or so I thought. Turns out due to some weird pay cycle they purposely created it wasn’t actually overtime and additionally I got HALF of my hourly rate, thus the “bonuses” which they didn’t even offer anyone, so by the time your paycheck comes around and the taxman takes his portion, it wasn’t worth it. So I had to chuckle a little at “hazard pay” since they barely paid me to begin with. And all my coworkers were incredibly lazy so, as someone who genuinely cared about the residents and wanted the best for them, I had to do the lion’s share of the work. Again, I still miss the residents/patients (because really despite being an “assisted living” facility, everyone was old and sick and needed a lot of help, so they were more patients than residents) but I really started resenting that place and the way they handled issues.
ETA: sorry for the rant and thanks for asking! I got out before I could do any serious damage to my back but other than the obese patients, there was still a lot of lifting and moving of wheelchair bound patients as well, so it was a physically taxing job since I’m not that big/strong and all the residents weighed more than me.
@@LissyVee I feel that. I had a patient fall out of bed onto me last year and it tore my MCL. We were transferring her and her didnt have a bariatric hoyer on our unit. Same woman would complain about every aspect of her care.

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.
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 💪
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
As a woman, the same for me and why i watch these videos. One day i found i was nearly 200lbs. I was in denial massively. I’m now losing it back to 147 where i was 5 years ago. These videos help me so much too.
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
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

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.
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.

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.

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?

@@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.

“This man is clearly unwell and needs treatment!”
“Now hold on, you can’t know that!”
“His arm is missing and his shoulder is spraying blood everywhere!”
“Now we can’t judge someone for how they want to live their life.”
That’s first level triage.. We use our eyes to assess 90% of our interpretation of our surroundings. Anyone who tells you not to believe your eyes is implementing fascism.
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.
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.

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.

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
“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.

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
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.

Loving the Radal cameo, literally made my day
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.

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.

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.

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 :)

While you can starve yourself for a long time, you gotta measure it carefully because your body kinda goes crazy.
TIL "putting the fork down when I don't need more food" is a skill I've been leaving off my resumes.
Fatty ahead, git gud
This channel is a big reason why I decided to start living a healthier lifestyle. The points made in these videos are direct, simple, and well-reasoned. About a month ago, I stopped eating so much every day, started walking 3 miles a day plus what I do for my job, and I've been feeling much better physically and mentally. I've lost about 7 pounds in a month and I'm planning to start actual workouts soon so I can start gaining muscle. It feels good to be accomplishing something, even if it's simple. :)
That’s a huge step! Rock on!!
Congrats man!! Keep going!

Doc: "Well, it's clearly broken. There's bone sticking through your skin."
"SHUT UP! YOU SHUT UP! YOU CAN'T VISUALLY ASSESS MY HEALTH!"
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.
I've said this on Amberlynn Reid's channel because she's been on a "weight loss journey" for 10 years and gained 200+ lbs instead of losing and shoots off "f@tphobic" to anyone who is trying to help her.
Anyway, I worked as a CNA in few nursing homes and mostly it's elderly residents. There's always one 30-40 something year old bariatric patient there because they couldn't take care of themselves or have family to do it so they were sent to the nursing home. And everyday, we had to wash them in bed because they refused to get up or they couldn't walk anymore due to the weight, and let me tell you about the smell. Despite washing them everyday, they smelled foul and I feel bad for saying it. Ammonia thrown right in your face and the heat was blasted inside the room. I remember having to wear a mask to hide my reaction when we would roll them over and we get a whiff. We'd find mold in between the folds from the sweat built up. Fecal matter because they use bedpans and it's hard to wipe to get everything until bath time.. It was terrible and what sucks is that the patient just accepts it. They don't care they became like that and they won't do anything to change.
Gross.
Do your bariatric patients ever lose weight while at your nursing home? Or are they somehow still maintaining the massive amount of calories it takes to stay at their size?
@@VerticalForklift While I was there, their care plans never really state any weight loss for them unless they spoke to their doctor about it and the doctor contacted the nurses at the nursing home. I do remember they were served the same meal as everyone else from the cafeteria but there was no ban for outside food except for those who ate soft foods. Even a few elderly residents were given alcohol by family who visited. So, most of the bariatric residents have family bring them snacks and other foods. There would be a pile of candies and junk food on their bedside tables. And a reminder; they aren't getting up to walk or exercise. The only exercise they got was from us turning them over in bed to clean them and their sheets.
Amber has always been like this ever since she was a kid. Unless she takes a good look in the mirror and takes accountability for her actions nothing will change. It's heartbreaking.
@@Sapanator Sadly, that may never happen. Over 10 years, she has had chances and opportunities and major wake-up calls, but that wasn't enough for her to admit accountability. Currently, she's up for weight-loss surgery but she keeps flip flopping about having a food addiction or binge disorder. At this point, I don't see much hope for her and that's just sad.
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.

I do this cause I'm ashamed of myself that I didn't treat her right despite her efforts.

I am not a fat advocate but as a culture we are told to find fat people unattractive.

I'm 5'8 when I was severely depressed gained weight I ballooned up to 215 pounds. My psychiatrist said something that shifted my mind on it "You're are subconsciously killing yourself slowly. You're committing a slow suicide by allowing yourself to gain weight and inactive. You can either succumb to it or fight back." That woke my ass up. After a year and 2 months of calorie restriction drinking nothing but water and when needed for protein milk and having both a cardio and strength training routine. I lost 52 pounds and am now at a weight that's healthy for my height, but my goal is 145 now I'm less that 10 pounds away from that. My bone density has increased and I no longer get sciatic and neck pain from just sitting.
Being obese is bad for you there is no easy way to put it. You fuck up all your organs, bones and teeth. Half the problems obese people have can be fixed with weight loss. It's not bad to love your body, but letting yourself balloon up to weights that can certainly kill you before age 40 isn't loving your body. You're just committing a slower form of suicide.

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.
Fun fact, i weighed 210lb with a bmi of 27 and my free triglycerides were 322 (should be under 150)
Last nov. (6 months ago) I decided to lose some fat weight and put on some muscle.
I now weight 187lb, my bmi is 23.9 barely in the normal range, yet my TGL is now at 190! Legit a 40% decrease.
My diet is pretty much the same yet my LDL, HDL, TGL are all better. Some a lot better, some slightly better, yet its a great change.
NO MEDICATION!!!
losing weight slowly is far better than fast! not only is it healthier, it lets your body physically adjust over time, and let's you adjust and get used to better habits. i went from being from 265 pounds to now 175 over the course of a year, i started slowly exercising more, and cooking my own healthy food! but i didn't starve myself, i just ate a bit less than what i needed and i was losing weight gradually but consistently, i can't explain the happiness i felt seeing it decline every week
That's definitely the best way to lose weight. Just cooking your own food and avoiding soda is enough for most people to lose a significant amount of weight, even without calorie counting, although you might plateau early without understanding how much you should eat.
I’m starting a life style change. Started July 1st. No eating out all homemade meals. Majority water as my drink. And tracking calories in my fitness pal going to for a 1 lb weight loss a week. Last night I didn’t factor olive oil to cook cabbage and needed to walk 30 mins. I’m disabled so walking is hard but i did it in bursts. I had one breakfast with a biscuit and honey and it wasn’t worth it. So I threw away biscuits and had overnight chia oats the next day.
@@megalosing5900how's it going now?
I’ve found that I had zero motivation and even relapsed back to my starting point at 240 when I wasn’t seeing numerical progress on the scale past 209 at about 1800 calories a day for about a month. Now I aim for a little less than 1500 calories and I’m down past 209 all the way to 202 as of yesterday over the last 3ish months. Speed matters- do it at whatever pace you need to motivate yourself I say.
Thank you! I hate when people bring up the 500 calorie bullshit. THAT. DOESNT. WORK.
I was a Marine. We literally have height/weight standards. I was a class leader at my MOS school and wad supposed to help one Marine lose weight.
He insisted he was “big boned”, he was “healthy” and would “work-out and hardly eat” but couldn’t lose weight.
His workout’s were absolute jokes. He would eat salads at the chow hall but literally drowned his salads in ranch dressing and would clean the bowl (it literally looked like cereal). I told him you would probably be better off eating a cheeseburger with fries instead of that bowl of ranch.
Many of these people are delusional.
At that point you would be better off just getting the burger and fries, carbs from the fries and bun make for simple energy that helps muscles function and protein from the meat to help grow muscle.
Yessir. I was in for 6 years and these fat acceptance people simply don’t get it. Crazy how they say all this but when it actually comes to a life or death scenario, you need to be in shape. You need to be able to run.
Not only for yourself, but for your team as well. If you’re a casualty and get stuck out there it’s a real possibility that you’re costing the lives of other Marines who are trying to get you out of there. Even on the flip side. If you have to evac a casualty but you can’t because you’re too out of shape to carry them - they’re gone.
Hopefully things worked out for your BCP buddy and he got it together. If not. Hey, man, people get discharged and admin sepped for that regularly.
I am male . I had my thyroid removed due to cancer and have to take medication for the rest of my life. My hormones are still out of wack and my diet and weight fluctuates like crazy . But I’ve never once blamed my thyroid problems as a reason for anything. I stay active and watch what I eat.
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
Always a good day when Think Before You Sleep uploads. I've had a really bad day and its finals week. Thank you for the upload, especially with you streaming as well. Lot of other creators would trade handmade vids for streams.
I hope you're doing better now. Good luck on your finals.
As someone who was a competitive athlete through high school and college- fitness is a mental skill. Realizing that it is just a battle against my own mind has made it impossible for me to blame anyone or anything else when I became unhealthy and gained 30lbs in my mid 20s. I just told myself that I refuse to lose to the weaker part of myself and got back in shape. I still talk myself through workouts, I still stare at my running shoes and remind myself to push through the hesitation.
That 1 slice of pizza was the size of a whole family pizza in Australia.
I was told as a kid that your stomach is supposed to be the size of your fist. Imagine the giant blown up beach ball sized stomach they have inside their bellies. My organs are suffocating just thinking about it.
I really think that more people should have my view of “if it jiggles and ain’t supposed to, get rid of it” it has really helped me get under 200 lbs
