I've been overweight/obese/morbidly obese for a large proportion of my adult life (I'm 52). I have never experienced the "fatphobia" and bullying, poor medical care FAs seem convinced are the daily experience of ALL fat people. I have lost 70+lbs in the past year and am still losing. Life is so much better without the extra weight but not because I'm treated better by other people. I feel immeasurably better because I'm treating myself the way I should have for the past 35 years. They're desperate to be victims, desperate to be oppressed. It's trauma for clout.

Love this. Got here thru watching the cynical dude. THE SMUGNESS... you're right. Its the worst. Lady, you obviously have a brain and self esteem. Watch out... the Fat acceptance mob will come for u. Like that means anything.

I’ve been fat to various degrees basically my whole life. The amount of time I have spent talking about it is minimal, especially the way this FÃ person does. Maybe it’s because I was an occupational therapist, but obesity is not at the top of the list when I think of oppression or accessibility challenges. Although they’d probably call me and the research fat phobic!

I am skinny and fit just to piss off people like lil miss “I have a degree in this” 😂❤💅

This video is just so ill-informed. “I think we need to work on the American diet first” … what ground breaking commentary. No one has ever thought about that. Coupled with “I think you can just eat healthy and lose the weight.” Well, why haven’t you?

Kudos to all the people who kick ass and lose the weight w/o semaglutide but I fucking love it

Thyroid diseases can be treated,. Mine was successfully treated over 50 years ago.

You can eat healthy food and still eat too much of it.

Sometimes it’s difficult to avoid getting sucked into the void that is “ThE sTaTe Of ThE wOrLd” Your content is the perfect solution for chill, yet engaging content that helps me get through the days. Thank you 💜

I am on Wegovy after a stall from WLS. My provider went through the side effects with me. I also did my own research, too. I don’t have any negative symptoms or experiences on it. It has helped so much with the “food noise”. It has improved my overall mental health, tbh. I use to stress over food, calorie counting and regain after WLS. It’s hard to explain but my brain is quiet now.

I STAN I HATE IT HERE

“I hate it here so I will go to lunar valleys in my mind~”

30:17 drugs lol another way people get away with it… definitely not healthy

They use their labs because it's unquestionable; they never bring the paper in. It's like how they say they don't eat much; we're not around all day, we have to take their word for it.

Fat kills.

The perfect conversation for today’s cardio 🚴‍♀️

I don't understand why people try to use their blood work as a baseline for health. My brother has been a smoker for his whole adult life. Now in his 50s the blood work is starting to show signs of damage. Does that mean he was healthy in his 20s, 30s, and 40s? Smoking isn't healthy at any age and I'd argue obesity is similar.

Restraint is a more apt term for a healthy degree of non-indulgence.

I love your collabs together! I've learned a lot from both of you!

❤❤❤

I always enjoy these collabs! ❤

Loved this. Proud of this video. ❤

4 years of lost weight, here, with 2 blips - one I gained back 25 that I then lost, the second my marathon training 10 lbs that I’m still trying to reverse & has fluctuated between +5 & +10 over the last few months. At no point have I ever gotten close to gaining all of the weight back, much less more, because I have totally different habits now. I’m still super active & run 2-6 hrs per week depending on my training schedule, I still eat a lot less than I used to, etc. I do think that some foods are addictive and that is an ongoing struggle for me but I’ve also been able to maintain even while eating those addictive foods that I have a hard time letting go of because I’ve learned that I don’t need a LOT of it to satisfy the craving. Like yeah, I do want a Milky Way. I can buy one and be satisfied with one, I can even buy one a day every day and be okay as long as I’m keeping the rest of my eating within my calorie range. You can struggle but still succeed as long as you have awareness around it, know you’re not the person that can have the family share size caramel m&m bag in your house and only buy the individual packages one at a time where you have to physically leave your home/work/whatever to go get more. Making it a chore will do a lot to hinder that on the addictive food thing. I don’t have BED so I can’t speak much to that, but the food addiction thing is real easy to manage if you’re cognizant of it.

Your story is sort of similar to mine. I was sure I had hypothyroidism in my early twenties but was told I’d already been tested and it was normal. Then a year ago they did some bloodwork and discovered I have Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism, just as I’d long suspected! My current doctor said “I’m really surprised they never tested you”. Turns out they never actually checked all those years ago. So I went unmedicated until 36 almost 37 years old because they couldn’t be bothered to run a simple test!

I’m interested in the crazy plant based comments. I eat mostly plant based because it works for me. My heart tends to struggle when I eat dairy and eggs. Is there like an anti-vegan video I should go back and watch?

to be fair, I do think there’s a little bit of a difference between being slightly overweight and being obese, especially when I think about elderly people. a looooooot of the old people I know are on the chubby side, including my mid-70s grandmother and many of the folks at my church, but I for sure agree that someone over the maybe 200lb mark (for a tall-ish person) is unlikely to live as healthy of a life.

Hope you're doing well, missing your content already

I would be sooooooo annoyed if people said I was lying about my clothing size….. 💀 I have lots of stuff in varying sizes because some clothes don’t fit me properly in my shoulders even if they fit in the waist. Sometimes it’s my waist that’s not fitting and it’ll bag up, or it’ll fit until it gets near my fat ass……

Also to add: America doesn't have a weight loss problem, we have a weight maintenance problem - people lose weight all the time and gain it back because they aren't doing "health promoting behaviors" to lose the weight (they're over exercising, crash dieting, cutting out carbs completely without any medical indication this is necessary, only eating one color, only doing the cabbage diet etc etc). the people who lose the weight and keep it off are doing the behaviors that lady is talking abt in her rant!!!

You do all these things, you will lose weight (so long as you're in a deficit) - if you are doing all these things and gaining then you are overeating *consistently* which is unhealthy

As someone who has lost weight, the last thing I think about is the fact that I lost weight.😂 Also I’m glad I listened to my body to lose weight. First step is ignoring these fat activist bc they’ll keep you back in all parts of your life. If you have excuses to lose weight, you’ll excuse not to do anything you feel is hard.

You know how the villain in some movies is always eating (usually an apple)!? Every time an nutritionist/dietician is “educating” me and eating at the same time that’s all I can think about 😂

I agree with your entire sentiment, but with one minor point… US sizes are definitely inflated due to vanity sizing. Nicola is overweight/obese- her being a size medium isn’t relevant IMO- visually she’s carrying a fair amount of extra fat. I’m not a small person- 5’9” 130ish lbs 25” waist and I’m sometimes an XXS or 00 in bottoms which is absolutely insane. In vintage sizes from the 1960s I’m prolly a 6/8.

if I was 120 lbs I wouldn't be overweight anymore lol high end of normal for me as a short ass. I felt great at 130 though! When I was at 200 lbs, I held most of my weight in my torso, so a lot of visceral fat. unfortunate fat distribution, but I lost very fast in my torso and overall upper body compared to other parts like my butt, thighs, or calves. I can't wait to lose more and at the very least get to 125 lbs.

3:30 I will say though when I was keto/low carb my brain did function significantly better but I also am prone to seizures and have other issues that would be managed better with a diet like keto. I don't think its a good thing to push diets like that on people who obviously won't benefit from them because every body is different and what works for one person won't work for another when it comes to weight loss for example.

its been a bit over 2 years and I only gained like 20 lbs from the 70ish I lost. Starting weight was over 200 lbs in 2021 as I gained a ton of weight during the pandemic. I developed bulimia around November 2022 not as a result of my actual diet (I lost the weight in a non disordered, healthy way) but because of a breakup and some other issues going on in my life. I would eat my feelings and then purge them via vomiting and later laxatives. I was eating upwards of 5000 calories a day worth of sugar because I was mostly binging on candy and sweets. In December 2022 I was at my lowest. most days I wouldn't even eat a normal meal just binge on candy and purge later on sometimes at least twice a day if not more. I gained up to 140 from being 130 prior. New Years my goal was to recover and I was going strong until I relapsed sometime late march/early April of 2023. I was trying not to purge as much but I ended up gaining 10 lbs by the time it was mid April 2023. (Prior to this I was battling a nasty opiate addiction and was constantly high on MJ or prescription painkillers.) I decided to try to recover again, because I felt sick and didn't want to destroy my body further or end up in hospital. I was doing great. Cut the binging and was losing weight afterward. Lost the 20 lbs i gained and I felt the healthiest I had ever been since October 2022. Then I relapsed in mid June 2023. gained the weight back. in September I tried recovering again. failed. gave up sometime after a breakup. tried again in December/early January. failed. now we're in 2024. I can't binge nearly as bad as I used to. I can't physically eat more than 2000 calories (which is around my maintenance, I'm around 150 lbs) most of the time. I rarely binge on sugar. I'm actually taking recovery seriously. This shit takes time but also I would never ever let myself go back to how I was during the pandemic. going from 130 to 150 is nothing compared to going from 150 to 200+. BED and bulimia are just as bad as AN-R, and people don't understand why they're bad specifically the binge eating aspects of those EDs. I could've ruptured my stomach from the binging alone. I also would turn to drugs to cope with feelings instead of food (I don't get the munchies either) but now I'm actually enjoying things and having stuff I can focus on that isn't literally destroying my health. This is a process and I am trying my best but all I know is, Eds aren't healthy no matter what kind it is.

Love how thae people make it seem like people can't lose weight or should. Just because the wont.... Or make it seem like it's no big deal, when the odds of a person losing large amounts of weight is drastically low. It's a very huge deal to do this.

I have family and friends that are overweight and usually I comment on their clothing, hair, job, anything but their weight. If they bring up weight loss or dieting then I usually let them control that sort of conversation, just as if a skinny friend brought up gaining weight I'd avoid making any jokes. It's generally easy for me not to be an obnoxious person haha.

your take is so lacking. what i gathered from your video is that your the only person allowed to make personal analogies. you view things as black and white, the when the fa movement is about making people realize bodies and health isn’t black and white. i don’t want to talk on your view of yourself or other fat people but wowie!! you should maybe listen to what she’s saying instead of being so focused on how to come up with a quirky little rebuttal, cause maybe then you would realize that what she’s saying isn’t all wrong x

I find it incredibly irritating that my brain seems to superficially judge whether someone is correct about something based on how "well spoken" they are. I have to admit, the dietician is well spoken as fuck. Without the response I probably would accept what she has to say at face value. Whatever the thing is is the thing that gets me, someone who worked as a lab scientist for 10 years, less money when offered a job, if I even have the privilege of being the person who gets it (which is usually when nobody else applies lol). Not what this video is about but eh. Hi!

Definitely eat healthier than I do!

🍲

Me, a dunce: Added up the calories for the lunch incorrectly. Added the green onion and honeydew melon to my breakfast section on my calorie calculator. The lunch is 520 calories. Daily total is still accurate at 1572. For reference, Breakfast is 351 and Dinner is still 701. :)

The whole "People treat you better when you lose weight" thing is so false. When I weighed 290lbs no one ever said anything about my body or judged my food EVER, but after losing 110lbs people freely judge my food choices (no matter what I'm eating) and openly make comments about my body. And because I've lost weight there is just an unspoken expectation that I cannot get upset by these comments and I just have to laugh them off.

I don’t even know how this chick has a license to practice. Her advice and information is straight up bogus.

I’ve been watching your videos for a while but I never paid enough attention to your facial expressions before while people are talking. You have me cracking up! I love a good side eye and disapproving mouth movement! 😂 I liked this one!

The kids are mean is 100% true. I was never obese, just overweight as a teen ( my biggest was 160lbs at 5'3) but I remember getting bullied by others and being insecure because I wasn't as sporty as most other kids.

The word for that is persecutory delusions

Great, I will be paying higher and higher insurance premiums due to all the unhealthy people. Being overweight carries immense health risks, but we Westerners are so deluded nowadays that we don’t recognize obesity any longer or what constitutes a healthy weight!
