Glad to hear that. There is something called a card workout where you do body weight workouts using playing cards. There is an app for it. Also HIIT workouts are great too. There are some on TH-cam. Also cut out processed sugar as much as you can (fizzy drinks, chocolate, candy etc). Switch to protein as much as you can. Drink as much Waters as you can. Cook more meals at home. Avoid takeaways and readymade meals. Don't be discouraged Rome wasn't built in a day, keep going.

+Brittany Means the lesson is instead of being responsible for her own bad habits she blames the whole world. Yes you are right she might not had bad health now, but her legs, her ankles, her joints will not hold up for long.

You don't just end up in a body like that. When I was around 200lbs that was from me over eating unknowingly (because I didn't know proper portion sizes) and I wasn't raised to eat as healthily as I should have. But now I love cardio, weight training, and eating fruits and veggies and I am still curvy, but I have lovely muscles and am toned and slim. THAT is a positive change. I feel 10x better and I actually love myself. I should have loved my body when I was bigger, but I actually loved myself enough to change and be healthier. I suffer from PTSD and anxiety issues and now that I'm healthier in every other way now, my mental health concerned those disorders is doing better too. I don't get as out of breath and I can run freely and feel like a feather. HEALTH IS SELF LOVE!
Precisely, I used to be in the same situation pretty much (well, not "this" much weight, but still). It seems to me like she's trying to blame everyone but herself for her issues. I'll never forget a talk I had with a person I was doing an internship with, in our common "lounge" of sorts at night. He told me straight up: "Maybe it would be a good idea to change your lifestyle? Start running, jogging, going to the gym - anything?" And so I did, because it really stung me, as I realized he wasn't being mean-spirited at all, just trying to help me change something for the better, almost 8 years ago. Realization is the first step that needs to be taken, and it looks like she's not even there yet at all - more like within the depths of self-delusion, if anything.

She hates on people who work hard to lose weight. Something that she says is impossible. These people are become healthier, and often happier. You are ‘body shaming’ them
Fat people should be afforded the same basic dignity and respect as any other human being. A fat person isn't hurting others by being fat. Is it her fault she's fat? Mostly, but that doesn't give anyone the right to demean her. That said, some of the issues she complains about in the talk are entirely caused by her weight, not other people's reactions to her weight. The airline company isn't trying to bully fat people when they make them purchase extra seats, nor is the furniture company when they fail to make chairs that can accommodate someone twice the weight of the average adult.
Spot on. Obviously bullying is terrible and shouldn’t happen, but the problem she’s having are all brought up by her weight. I really hope she will realise this and start to change her lifestyle..
actually they are. we have seatbelt laws because if the public cost of people not wearing them. obesity has a far greater cost to the public than nor wearing seatbelts.
This is actually a myth. Sloth has nothing to do with this, but high insulin, and a metabolic disorder. Really, it interrupts the way the body works. The paradigm of obesity is now changing, finally.
You guys are just too cruel. Do you know how hard it is to stand up for something with a body like that? She has been standing over ten minutes. Congratulations to her.
The saddest thing, is that if she hadn't gained all that weight and got all those awful tattoos, I'm pretty sure she'd be really beautiful. If you're slightly overweight but otherwise pretty, you can slim down and reveal a lot of beauty underneath, but alas, for her, there's no coming back from serious obesity..
Yes, ending up in a body like yours is that bad, it's horrible. Yes, we just need to look at you to know that you have a wide range on health problem releted to the fact that you overeat.
As a whole I get the impression that this person has gotten an education but hasn't mentally left high school. Gosh, grow up and take responsibility for whatever your life has come to and just move on, people are egocentric and judgmental and they will never stop expressing opinions, no matter good or bad. As a victim, she could have made this talk about rape and violence which are far worse than some bullying that everyone goes through. And if someone tells you to hate yourself, know that he's the one with the bad look on life, tell him to f**k off and move on...don't become hateful as well and don't blame everyone, including the ones that try encouraging you for doing something good for yourself just because they didn't say it in the best way possible...
Body positivity should be about those obese/overweight people DOING SOMETHING to lose weight. It shouldn’t be about obese/overweight people encouraging obesity and blaming society for their addiction.
She basically just spent the whole time talking about how difficult life is as a morbidly obese person and then.....says she’s just accepted that’s how her life will be???
Her message is not love your body, but learn to reject the truth and to ignore people who say it to your face. I find this surprising as most TED videos I watched are about self realization and motivation, not how to to accept your fate with a smile.
There's nothing wrong with cursing in an informal setting, such as among your friends or peers, but there's a time and place for it. Using foul language while giving a public presentation does not make you seem relatable or "down to earth." It makes you sound unprofessional, makes your audience uncomfortable, and overall makes you and your argument seem less credible.
Sarah says “I’ve worked hard to learn how to defend against these [negative] messages.” She should work hard to eat properly, exercise more, and take care of her health, and no Sarah you don’t look good or healthy.
Of course you shouldnt be shame and you deserve respect like every one else in this world, but the time you spent learning how to defend yourself from these types of comments should have been used on exercising and eating healthy.
"Sarah Hollowell's talk deals with issues about positivity and sexuality." This isn't dealing with it, unfortunately. This entire talk is probably the most active she's ever been, and all that energy was used dodging her own cries for help
It really is a shame the mindset these kinds of people are in. Unless you have some crazy thyroid disorder, weightloss is doable, even easy. I'm down over 30lbs fom doing nothing but walking 45 min. 5 times a week and managing a caloric deficit (and hell, sometimes I even go over that). Surely it's a lot less effort than whatever the hell this is.
+Dynamite Grizzly "Unless you have some crazy thyroid disorder, weightloss is doable, even easy." Ouch, no. Weight gain is caused by over-consumption, thyroid disorders only make over-consumption easier. They don't make your body a physical impossibility capable of breaking the laws of thermodynamics. And I agree, it seems like a lot of effort to have to, every day, go through an insane amount of mental gymnastics to justify your obesity instead of simply putting the fork down, getting up and going for a walk. 's too bad thinking doesn't burn a substantial amount of calories, all these HAES people would be a lot thinner if you could just think away that tub of ice cream you just ate.
Boohoo, people don't find me attractive because I'm morbidly obese. She's in college, does she not know about evolution and survival of the fittest? Being attracted to healthy, fit women is not me "shaming her" or falling victim to some big media conspiracy. It's a natural human reaction to not find a candidate that needs to catch her breath walking up 10 stairs attractive and instead favoring a mate that would run up those same stairs and then do a cartwheel on top and run up 30 more. Not only that, but suppose my mate were to make it through childbirth. She would then likely raise my child with bad eating habits and create an unhealthy continuation of my genes. Evolution is not wrong. There's a reason the reproductive organs fail in underweight women and why men generally don't find overweight women to be attractive. She likely praises Charles Darwin outside of the context of herself, but she should step back and think about it more.
It's not that I'm trying to discriminate against her by not dating her or not finding her attractive. In visceral terms: I take one look at her, and I cannot get it up for her. This is something beyond my control.
I’m sure there are men interested in her. There are men that like larger women, but those men are not good for them. They will only encourage her to stay large or get larger.
Quit whining, Sarah. If you didn't allow yourself to weigh as much as 3 normal sized women, you wouldn't have to pay for 2-3 airline tickets. You wouldn't get your thighs bruised by chairs. You wouldn't have any of the other issues you talk about. You brought this all on yourself, so quit whining when people look down on you for your choices. The only good news is you can still lose it and be healthy. But let's be honest, you probably won't because you eat McD's for 4.
You can’t be oppressed for something you can control such as your weight. This word should be reserved for race/physical disability etc, not just because you can’t fit into an airline seat
Why don’t you want to love yourself TRULY by taking care of your precious body and making it healthier? Why spend so much time and energy on rambling about how the world cannot accommodate you if you could spend this same time on getting better? Self-acceptance is crucial, and we have to love ourselves no matter what, but LOVING YOURSELF DOESN'T MEAN STAGNATION! Self-love means development. It means working on getting healthier, smarter, more flexible, kinder, stronger, etc every day! And it means taking care of your body - it’s something you have to use in this world every day. Do you really love yourself, or are you fooling yourself? It’s not about acceptance of others or boyfriends - it’s about you. By the way, the rough physical truth - if all the technological and social conveniences of our modern world were suddenly gone, a person this size just wouldn’t survive in the wild for too long. You ARE privileged to live in the so called “civilized” world which helps you stay alive. I do not hate you or anyone else. What I despise is our human faults and weaknesses - different ones. If we choose to love and keep our weaknesses, we are basically degrading. Degradation is not something we should glorify.
She is an inspiration. Show this video to your children and loved ones. Use it to inspire them to never let yourself go as this woman has. Make good food choices, work out regularly. Educate them on how not to be a pathetic self-loathing pity case that blames the world for problems they themselves have brought on.
I appreciate you sharing your story but your perspective is extremely deluded. By becoming healthier, your life would significantly improve, both now, and for the future. It is medically proven that you are putting yourself at high risk of multiple diseases, and therefore you'll be burdening an already burdened system, along with creating emotional stress for friends and family who love you. I find your entire presentation quite selfish.
I don’t understand how she is ok with her size. She is super morbidly obese and it’s not healthy. People are attracted to healthy people. I’m all for the thic girls. But why be this big???
As long as she's happy with skin tags, limited clothing and seating options, shortness of breath, the inability to effectively clean herself, high blood pressure, diabetes, and a shortened life span, then more power to her.
You are not an inspiration... you are a cautionary tale. This kind of videos get me through fasting... when i am tempted to snack I just ask myself if I want to look as big as her... my craving is suddenly gone.
She thinks the whole world should change and accept her unhealthy attitude and lifestyle, while she just keeps putting herself into an early grave. She wants the world to care about her when she shows little care for herself. And yes, I did lose a lot of weight using a simple plan: eat better and exercise more. And I have kept the weight off. I am healthier and happier.

Sickening. Her attitude more than her body, but that too.
Daisy and her
Exactly it is'ant just about looks it's about health too
The saddest thing, is that if she hadn't gained all that weight and got all those awful tattoos, I'm pretty sure she'd be really beautiful. If you're slightly overweight but otherwise pretty, you can slim down and reveal a lot of beauty underneath, but alas, for her, there's no coming back from serious obesity..
Yep! Totally agree
"I've worked hard..." to find excuses.
She literally blames everyone else because they dont find her attractive... >_
When you've got Bingo Wings down to your WRISTS.
@@nunyadambidniss Bingo Wings, good one.
Yes, ending up in a body like yours is that bad, it's horrible.
Yes, we just need to look at you to know that you have a wide range on health problem releted to the fact that you overeat.
As a whole I get the impression that this person has gotten an education but hasn't mentally left high school. Gosh, grow up and take responsibility for whatever your life has come to and just move on, people are egocentric and judgmental and they will never stop expressing opinions, no matter good or bad. As a victim, she could have made this talk about rape and violence which are far worse than some bullying that everyone goes through. And if someone tells you to hate yourself, know that he's the one with the bad look on life, tell him to f**k off and move on...don't become hateful as well and don't blame everyone, including the ones that try encouraging you for doing something good for yourself just because they didn't say it in the best way possible...
When you "want to be a beacon", but your "e" is broken on your keyboard.
LOL
jesus. I'm kinda overweight and this literally inspired me to start exercising more often
progress update plz
Jesus loves you a lot, seek him while you still can
Body positivity should be about those obese/overweight people DOING SOMETHING to lose weight. It shouldn’t be about obese/overweight people encouraging obesity and blaming society for their addiction.
"I am worth every bit of space I take up."
So long as you pay for both seats.
😂😂
She basically just spent the whole time talking about how difficult life is as a morbidly obese person and then.....says she’s just accepted that’s how her life will be???
Suprised the comments haven't been turned off yet...
says she loves her body.... continues to destroy it..... mind blown
Her message is not love your body, but learn to reject the truth and to ignore people who say it to your face. I find this surprising as most TED videos I watched are about self realization and motivation, not how to to accept your fate with a smile.
There's nothing wrong with cursing in an informal setting, such as among your friends or peers, but there's a time and place for it. Using foul language while giving a public presentation does not make you seem relatable or "down to earth." It makes you sound unprofessional, makes your audience uncomfortable, and overall makes you and your argument seem less credible.
I agree.

Imagine thinking your entire life that the truth is actually hate. The mental gymnastics of this person is amazing.
Sarah says “I’ve worked hard to learn how to defend against these [negative] messages.” She should work hard to eat properly, exercise more, and take care of her health, and no Sarah you don’t look good or healthy.
Of course you shouldnt be shame and you deserve respect like every one else in this world, but the time you spent learning how to defend yourself from these types of comments should have been used on exercising and eating healthy.
This. Is. Amazing. Victim culture knows no bounds
Sarah Hollowell is an inspiration to all ... on how not to become or end up like her. She and people like her are a cautionary tale.
Being that big comes with plenty of health problems. She’s youngish so her body can adapt but not for long. Obesity kills.
"Sarah Hollowell's talk deals with issues about positivity and sexuality."
This isn't dealing with it, unfortunately. This entire talk is probably the most active she's ever been, and all that energy was used dodging her own cries for help
It really is a shame the mindset these kinds of people are in. Unless you have some crazy thyroid disorder, weightloss is doable, even easy. I'm down over 30lbs fom doing nothing but walking 45 min. 5 times a week and managing a caloric deficit (and hell, sometimes I even go over that). Surely it's a lot less effort than whatever the hell this is.
+Dynamite Grizzly "Unless you have some crazy thyroid disorder, weightloss is doable, even easy."
Ouch, no. Weight gain is caused by over-consumption, thyroid disorders only make over-consumption easier. They don't make your body a physical impossibility capable of breaking the laws of thermodynamics.
And I agree, it seems like a lot of effort to have to, every day, go through an insane amount of mental gymnastics to justify your obesity instead of simply putting the fork down, getting up and going for a walk.
's too bad thinking doesn't burn a substantial amount of calories, all these HAES people would be a lot thinner if you could just think away that tub of ice cream you just ate.
Oh well, if you're down 30lbs then you must be an expert on what does or doesn't work for every single overweight person in the world.
Here’s a thought 💭 If you’re so miserable then lose weight and stop blaming people. You have 100% control to change. You choose not too.
To*
Agreed
The audience in first row are probably sitting there hoping she doesn’t try to crowd serf
Boohoo, people don't find me attractive because I'm morbidly obese. She's in college, does she not know about evolution and survival of the fittest? Being attracted to healthy, fit women is not me "shaming her" or falling victim to some big media conspiracy. It's a natural human reaction to not find a candidate that needs to catch her breath walking up 10 stairs attractive and instead favoring a mate that would run up those same stairs and then do a cartwheel on top and run up 30 more. Not only that, but suppose my mate were to make it through childbirth. She would then likely raise my child with bad eating habits and create an unhealthy continuation of my genes.
Evolution is not wrong. There's a reason the reproductive organs fail in underweight women and why men generally don't find overweight women to be attractive. She likely praises Charles Darwin outside of the context of herself, but she should step back and think about it more.
It's not that I'm trying to discriminate against her by not dating her or not finding her attractive. In visceral terms: I take one look at her, and I cannot get it up for her. This is something beyond my control.
I’m sure there are men interested in her. There are men that like larger women, but those men are not good for them. They will only encourage her to stay large or get larger.
Quit whining, Sarah. If you didn't allow yourself to weigh as much as 3 normal sized women, you wouldn't have to pay for 2-3 airline tickets. You wouldn't get your thighs bruised by chairs. You wouldn't have any of the other issues you talk about. You brought this all on yourself, so quit whining when people look down on you for your choices. The only good news is you can still lose it and be healthy. But let's be honest, you probably won't because you eat McD's for 4.
This is the sort of talk you’d expect in a therapist office- not a public forum. Someone should have talked her out of this.
There has never been an 80 year old obese person
As someone who is an overweight person she makes me wanna work out
"Im supposed to be an inspiration. Maybe not to the masses, but to the massive" would have been funnier
I thought that too, and also heard "Bacon" instead of "Beacon".
bro just literally eat less??
You can’t be oppressed for something you can control such as your weight. This word should be reserved for race/physical disability etc, not just because you can’t fit into an airline seat
You worked hard to gain this much weight, you worked hard to eat around the clock, you are working hard because you refuse to take care of yourself.
If someone let an animal get to this size then people would call it abuse, if a person does it to themselves then it's "beautiful"
Work out. Eat better.
the fact that she didnt even bother to memorize her own speech speaks volumes
Why don’t you want to love yourself TRULY by taking care of your precious body and making it healthier?
Why spend so much time and energy on rambling about how the world cannot accommodate you if you could spend this same time on getting better?
Self-acceptance is crucial, and we have to love ourselves no matter what, but LOVING YOURSELF DOESN'T MEAN STAGNATION! Self-love means development. It means working on getting healthier, smarter, more flexible, kinder, stronger, etc every day! And it means taking care of your body - it’s something you have to use in this world every day. Do you really love yourself, or are you fooling yourself? It’s not about acceptance of others or boyfriends - it’s about you.
By the way, the rough physical truth - if all the technological and social conveniences of our modern world were suddenly gone, a person this size just wouldn’t survive in the wild for too long. You ARE privileged to live in the so called “civilized” world which helps you stay alive.
I do not hate you or anyone else. What I despise is our human faults and weaknesses - different ones. If we choose to love and keep our weaknesses, we are basically degrading. Degradation is not something we should glorify.
Thank God for this TedTalk. It was a good reminder why I eat healthy foods and portions and go to the gym every day.
"Is it so terrible a fate to end up in a body like mine?"
I'd feel pretty terrible if I ran out of breath completing a sentence, not gonna lie.
For first mistake was to post a selfie on the internet. The internet never forgives, the internet never forgets.
I guess her fat rolls kept affecting the body mic. Sound engineer gave up and just slapped it on her shoulder. Who does that ?
It's possible that the cord wasn't long enough to wrap around her huge body cuz it usually goes on the back.
Just imagine her burning calories as good as the comment section burns are.
She is an inspiration.
Show this video to your children and loved ones. Use it to inspire them to never let yourself go as this woman has. Make good food choices, work out regularly. Educate them on how not to be a pathetic self-loathing pity case that blames the world for problems they themselves have brought on.
She just went almost 13 minutes without food.
I appreciate you sharing your story but your perspective is extremely deluded. By becoming healthier, your life would significantly improve, both now, and for the future. It is medically proven that you are putting yourself at high risk of multiple diseases, and therefore you'll be burdening an already burdened system, along with creating emotional stress for friends and family who love you.
I find your entire presentation quite selfish.
Nobody should be cruel. But you have to take care of yourself .
Is this girl still alive?
The tombstone of TED.
We're gonna need a bigger boat !
LMFAO!!!
LOL
lolololol
Fun fact : most of the comments has more likes than video itself.
Guys stop leaving hate comments! I cant like them all :)
The title of this video should be “ weight loss inspiration”
I don’t understand how she is ok with her size. She is super morbidly obese and it’s not healthy. People are attracted to healthy people. I’m all for the thic girls. But why be this big???
By this way of thinking, Self harm is just a way to express yourself on your body.
As long as she's happy with skin tags, limited clothing and seating options, shortness of breath, the inability to effectively clean herself, high blood pressure, diabetes, and a shortened life span, then more power to her.
You are not an inspiration... you are a cautionary tale.
This kind of videos get me through fasting... when i am tempted to snack I just ask myself if I want to look as big as her... my craving is suddenly gone.
Jesus looks at her arms hahahahahaha
looooooooooooool
You're so rude 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
9:08 Weight Watchers is one of the most successful diet programs ever. It promotes eating healthy foods in quantities right for your individual body.
Sharon G. It really depends on the person
She thinks the whole world should change and accept her unhealthy attitude and lifestyle, while she just keeps putting herself into an early grave. She wants the world to care about her when she shows little care for herself. And yes, I did lose a lot of weight using a simple plan: eat better and exercise more. And I have kept the weight off. I am healthier and happier.
Gasps after every second word
