Taking accountability for your poor decision and lack of self control is the first step in realising that being called for what you are is wrong? Ha ha ha!
My girlfriend used to be overweight. She felt it was not good for her and the doctor told her its not good for her. She lost weight. Shes no longer overweight. Shes healthy. I thought she was hot then, but goddamn if she isnt stunning now.
Yo this is the funniest shit I've read in a long time. It's 2024 so they are more than capable of transitioning/identifying as whatever they want, YOU'RE RIGHT! 😂😂😂
9 out of 10 of these women bitching about people calling them fat will 100% insult a guy for being short, or bald so. The shallowness of this generation is crazy.
About the tiktok of the doctor. If you're obese the first thing the doctor should tell you is to lose weight. Is the best solution to rule out the majority of the problems, and if the problem persists THEN you get further studies. Besides, when being too obese you can't even fit in an MRI scanner so a lot of testing can't be done until you lose weight.
it really just depends on the situation. for example, if an overweight patient has a personal or family history of medical issues (ex: injuries, musculoskeletal conditions, genetic problems, etc) that could also explain the symptoms then it doesn't make sense to blame everything on the weight and also not look into those other factors. weight might just be contributing instead of being the cause. also, depending on the patient, the ability to reach a normal weight can take years depending on their ability to do things like exercise. if they are having severe pain or other conditions which limits their physical activity, they likely won't be able to lose weight very fast even if they improve their diet. so if they keep going to dr's saying "i lost x pounds and still feel shitty" over and over it doesn't make sense to keep telling them to "lose more" or delaying investigating other possible causes for potentially years until they're slim. by that point, if the problem was caused by an underlying issue, by the time all the weight is gone it's likely gotten way worse because it was untreated for so long. my relative was overweight and had a documented history of injuries and VISIBLE musculoskeletal conditions, but every time they saw a doctor their pain was just blamed on the weight, even when they were losing and saying it wasn't helping and things were getting worse, for years they were brushed off/just given a few pills that didnt work, and had to jump through hoops for tests. they're at a healthy weight now but it doesn't matter because they're disabled and in pain every day, because the real problem was several degenerative joint and nervous system conditions as a direct result of the aforementioned injuries and conditions, and others as a result of the job they were working. all of this could have been caught sooner if docs just fucking did their job and looked at peoples medical files and work histories and not just saying everything is because weight.🙃 even if someone's problem truly was just weight related, there's no reason not to do basic tests or reviews to rule out other factors.
No, it doesn't. I lost 40 kgs in 6 months without even trying. Just put the fork down and go for a walk. Also, don't blame the doctor because your relative is fat. If they weren't fat, they would have been diagnosed sooner.
@@crappyaccount I'm sorry for your family member, my mother has similar issues and cannot lose weight to save her life due to arthritis and joint pain. People don't get how hard it is. Yes, we should always try to be at a healthy weight but people shouldn't be dismissed when something hurts and they are also fat. You feel so unheard and makes it worse! Those doctors didn't do their job listening to their patient. Some compassion for other people is not a big ask.
@@crappyaccountlosing weight does not take years, unless you’re 1000lbs. I lost 20 pounds in the last month. Walk and have a caloric deficit. Also, there can be underlying reasons why losing weight takes longer. If your gut health is garbage, it can stop your weight loss journey. Check if you have a candida yeast infection or other gastrointestinal issues.
@@daniellubitz9693 losing weight CAN take a while, depending on your ability to do basic exercise like walk for example. like i said above, the relative i was talking about (who was no where near 1000 pounds) had a severe spinal injury which caused a deformity of their back and legs along with several other neurological/ musculoskeletal problems, joint degeneration and arthritis affecting their ability to move around. to this day they can literally be sitting doing nothing and having excruciating pain. they lost the weight through diet and are now a healthy weight, but it took a while because that's the only method they had...they couldn't just go hit the gym or go jogging every day or something. it's easy to tell someone to "just walk more" when every step doesn't flare up 5+ different inoperable health conditions that meds do nothing for🙃 like, this is good advice in general but please be more understanding to those who have disabilities. what im trying to say whats easy to us is not easy to everyone. i agree that the person being overweight didn't help their condition, but the point i was making was that doctors are quick to blame complaints solely on someone being fat (instead of looking at it as just one part of the problem) and dont bother looking for any underlying issues, which is ESPECIALLY stupid when they a) have a documented medical history of non weight related stuff that could explain the symptoms or b) start losing weight and it doesn't help or their symptoms have gotten WORSE.
@@DaGoon_when did op mention bmi? In fact, not only did op not mention bmi. Op gave you a definition for obese that is completely removed from bmi. What is wrong with you,m
Gaslighting yourself into thinking skinny=healthy is just as insane. Look as Asmon, spent his whole life thinking that being skinny meant everything was fine, and now he's literally on the verge of death. Being obese doesn't do you any favors, but you're hopeless if you think that's all their is to health.
Not just a slur but something to be aspiring too. In their world this is to be glorified, cherished or revered as "we are all different". Differednt, yes. Different weights and different states of bad health.
My mom WAS obese and then she decided to just TRY. She dieted and worked out for years and she is now below 200lbs. She didn’t complain about it and stayed quiet.
She has way more dedication than me because she was visibly overweight and wanted to look skinny again, but when I wear a shirt I look skinny so as long as I’m kind of fat I still look skinny as long as I’m not shirtless
Obese, at least to my ear, sounds so much worse than just fat lol. And I used to be morbidly obese before I got off my fat ass and dropped 120 lbs. And I'd rather be called fat than obese.
All I gotta say is that crazies took over everything when they shut down the mental asylums. Had they instead made it so they keep the asylums in check instead of just shutting them down to save on tax money, we wouldn't be here now
Yep, that's the inherent flaw in word/thought policing. The concept described never ceases to exist, so people simply pick a new word. 5 years later, that new word is the new "offensive slur".
I'm obese. It's not something to celebrate. Spent the last two years eating less and going to the gym; lost a ton of weight, but still obese (it takes time, especially without drugs). People shouldn't be glorifying obesity; similarly, if you encounter obese people, don't assume they're happy with it or not trying to fix it. EDIT - A huge thanks for the well wishes! EDIT 2 - @ the like two people who posted nonsense: grow up.
I'm in the same boat but as i do not have the money for a gym membership and being an amputee it's even harder. got my a1c down to just over 8 from being almost 11 for a1c. going with 647 bread or that keto bread that has it equaling 1 carb helps. drinking water more. cutting out having even diet soda and snacks helps greatly
That's awesome! I was in the same boat after I finished college about 10 years ago. Nearly 70 pounds heavier than I should be for my height. I've still got about 20 pounds left to go, but if I can get there, anyone can!

Fat being attractive in the middle ages is a stretch... The ideal female back then was no where near the size of a lot of these chicks saying this shit. This also varied a ton on the culture.
"I want a solution to my problem".... so long as it requires no physical effort, no changes to the things I over-indulge in and no personal accountability.
Well you can not over indulge and yea you'll lose weight, but you won't notice it till a year. You need a combination of not over eating and exercising to burn the fat reserves, or just starve yourself and have your fat reserves fuel your body but that'll hurt.
Depends on the problem. For example I've been having pain in the lower part of my legs for over a decade (around the ankle region including the feet), after 2-5 minutes of walking I need to stop, feet go numb and muscle hurts worse than a cramp. I haven't sought medical attention for it until now because I was told "it's because you're fat, just lose weight" and that was when I was just a bit overweight, not even close to obese. Problem was walking was how I burned most of my calories so obviously I became obese after a while - I lasted a year pushing through the excruciating pain in my legs until I sunk into depression and that put an end to it. Eventually I did lose the weight, got into normal range and guess what? Pain still there, if I had sought medical attention for it then instead of blaming it on my weight, I wouldn't have gone obese, I wouldn't have avoided getting out of the house and meeting with friends, maybe that would've helped with my depression too.
My body mass index went from morbidly obese to just overweight. I couldn't be happier and more proud to be "overweight." I only have to lose another 10-20 pounds to be at a normal BMI.
BMI is an absolutely useless measurement. I am 6 foot three 230 pounds with less than 10% body fat and it says that I'm almost morbidly obese... It's trash. You should be on fat percentage in lean mass. How you look and how you feel. BMI is absolutely meaningless
Congrats, I am nearing that threshold myself, will cross it somewhen this year. That won't make me stop, I will reach that normal BMI in the future! I have been morbidly obese for most my life, since the age of 11, so this might be late but better late than never!
You can defend yourself against the skinny chick calling you fat phobic really easily lads. When the chick says “you can’t say that, she’s big and she’s beautiful and it’s her choice” The only response you need is “yeh I agree, infact she really reminds me of you” You will never see someone be so offended and yet be able to say nothing in your life.
In one of her examples she says cocaine and heroin are no longer used as anesthetics. As someone who has worked in the hospital for a decade, we literally have liquid cocaine, and "...caine" type variants for medical use, and use them regularly as well as "heroin", but we just call it fentanyl, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, etc.. and we use them all. the. fuckin'. time.
If some people want to use an alternative term instead of the medical term, here are some alternatives that you can use: - Gravity Submissive - Volumetrically Expansive - Space Occupancy Divergent - Elevator Limit Assessor - Weight Lover - Medical Issue Advocate - Food Quantity Prioritization Participator - Altitude Challenged
@@LezArtist5iG But then they are so proud of being unhealthy they have zero motivation to get healthy. Extremism is bad. (hypersensitivity banning use of language to protect feelings, or body positivity being proud of being unhealthy). If you are unhealthy, you should be motivated to improve your health.
Being Obese is like being a drug addict. Except drug addicts don't have the choice of body positive. The road to recovery is the same: admit that there's a problem and you want to get better, consult people that can help you get on the right path, and finally surround yourself with friends who have the same goal as you do and follow through.
Obesity can have direct affect on non obese people. My mom's chairs are a victim. Mother's obese friend sat on one of them. And it died pre maturely sadly just like she will
EMS workers and nurses are also injured pretty often from having to move obese patients. I have a friend who's a nurse who ended up needing back surgery because she had to move a 400lb patient without enough help and completely fucked her spine up 😢
Agreed. Too many people lack a basic level of respect and sympathy on both sides. Unfortunately it’s clear that one side is way worse, claiming to be inclusive yet they are the most hateful to anyone that even has slightly differing opinions.
people want respect without earning it, its ridiculous, no one deserves respect, it has to be earned, and it is mutual. never respect anyone by default.
There are still smokers who will be pissed when you point at the correlation between smoking and lung cancer. Of course fat people are thinking the same.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a medical term, any word can be used as a slur. The problem is people don’t understand English and these self proclaimed victims are exploiting that to redefine subjective terms like “slur” into objective ones.
The doctor made a good point, and the same thing happens to women all the time. The symptoms are brushed off as side effects of anxiety and they're prescribed ssris instead of being further examined. There are tons of examples of this happening and its honestly really sad
People don’t seem to understand that there’s energy behind what is said. With anything. I’ll call you obese to be helpful and maybe to add weight to what I said so it’s taken as seriously as needed…..then you get someone who’s looking to hurt others and or doesn’t care. A doctor can help you with words the most but can also roast you. They choose to be human/professional/helpful. The mental issues of America needs focus. Can fix many things this way.

This video randomly reminds me of the "Heart Attack Grill" restaurant. There's this guy known as Dr. John who owns an restaurant called Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas and he is a vegetarian and a nutritionist, he started out on the complete opposite side of fighting obesity as the owner of a gym franchise but he was sued by a major fast food chain because his gym's name sounded similar to their restaurants. He lost the lawsuit and his businesses, his whole world was destroyed. He felt like he couldn't beat the fast food industry and all his efforts to promote health and wellness lost out because he didn't have as much money and couldn't afford better lawyers. From this sense of loss and failure, a villain was born. He decided basically if you can't beat 'em, join ‘em and that's when he opened the heart attack grill. He openly admitted that his food can kill people and he warns them about the risks and doesn't force them to eat at his restaurant. You'd think with those circumstances his business is doomed to fail but people still choose to eat there everyday. He's like the antagonist of the story but he never killed a single character. The characters themselves chose the risk of death proving an accurate point about Americans diet and the fast food industry. The restaurant allows to eat there for FREE if you are a certain amount of overweight purposely allowing customers to choose to kill themselves. He even owned one of the regular customers ashes after he died due to obesity which caused an heart attack choosing to eat at his restaurant everyday to further prove his point and put the bag of his ashes on the table during an interview in the documentary that's on youtube.
as i recently heard my aunt point out, if you are eating significantly more food than necessary, the food is just as wasted as if you'd thrown it away.
not exactly, Your body will use that extra calories from fat, people just don't let their bodies do so. This is the premise of fasting, no calorie goes to waste, you just need to use it
So what's more than necessary? But that's a silly way to look at it regardless. If it's eaten, it's eaten. If it's not eaten, it's wasted. That's like saying fuel is wasted just because you put your foot down more than you absolutely had to, or you didn't turn your car off every time you sat still
@@balakehb those are perfect examples of wasting fuel. Pushing on the gas harder then necessary leads to a larger consumption of fuel compared to using it as needed. That's a waste. And yeah let's say your stuck on the highway for an hour and you don't move or your just sitting in your drive way for a excessive amount of time for no reason and just letting the car run, that's a waste of fuel.

Don’t let your kids be fat.
Funnily enough, world hunger could be used against fat positivity. They're eating to only put on fat, children in the 3rd world country dying of hunger could have used that food.
As someone who's still in the process of digging themselves out of the povery hole: Being overweight is a lot like being in debt, the worse you let it get the longer you're going to have to work on fixing it AND you're going to need to take more drastic steps to fix it in addition to working on it for longer. But I don't let my situation define me. And I don't pretend like my situation is "acceptable." Nobody wants to date someone who's broke! But instead of getting mad or offended, I've doubled down on my commitment to making something of myself. Now I'm getting certified to teach a couple different styles of yoga + pilates & I start every day with a heated workout class BEFORE I work a full 9-5. My commitment to improving my situation has made me a ton of new friends, gotten me in better shape than I've ever been (I'm 5'10" & 160lbs) AND I'M MAKING MYSELF FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT OF MY PRIMARY EMPLOYER! You can't trust any company these days to not screw you over for a better final quarter. So why not diversify your income streams? Why not just drive for Uber or Lyft? I mean... you can... if you wanna put tons of undesirable wear & tear on your vehicle.... and you'll still be getting screwed by a company. So yeah. Whether your weight is a problem or your finances are a problem: the only one who can solve your problem IS YOU. Step One starts with committing to resolving the problem in a way that you can sustain on a day-to-day basis. Doing something once or twice a week is just an excuse to continue to suffer with a problem while acting like the world is against you & nothing you do can change it. 😂

The term "obese" in my case was the catalyst for my transformation. Was told I was "clinically obese" when I was 18. That sent a shock down my spine and gave me the motivation to start paying attention to my food and working out. 15 years later and I'm still at 9,2% body fat and don't even have to pay attention anymore, it all became second nature. I'm incredibly fckin thankful I was told I was obese on hindsight and not praised because I was fat as fck.

The biggest problem (pun intended) that obesity causes in my day to day life is a random one.. I work at a crematorium. It's getting more common that huge, wardrobe shaped coffins are being used for obese people. Sometimes its a tight fit for the cremator, and can cause some pretty bad turbulence in the main chamber, causing damage to the refactory brickwork, etc. When it's someone that big, the fat can start leaking out too, causing damage to components of the cremator. As you can imagine, it ain't nice cleaning that up either.. In a few years, you're gonna see a lot of crematoriums have to gut out their cremators for even bigger cremators just to keep up with the demand of more and more obese people. Edit: It's also a risk for our musculoskeletal health. Ive nearly put my back out wheeling around coffins of this size.
Hospitals are having to upgrade scales. We get patients so obese that the clinic/ hospital scale isn’t an accurate measure & they need a scale used for weighing livestock such as cattle 😢
Obesity is a health choice the same way alchoholism or or cigarette smoking is. You can blame being addicted to what your vice is all you want. At that point its a coping mechanism. I have struggled with weight, alcoholism, and cigarette smoking, for a while, all 3, and guess what. Over eating was the easiest to kick by miles. If your too weak to better yourself, that's fine, but dont blame the people that call you out.ì
It is your duty to truthfully report to a patient. You should’ve said “ok well you can hear the results/verdict, or I guess we don’t have to talk about it at all and this whole appointment was a waste of time.”
Body positivity stops when it's unhealthy. you can be a little chubby, totally fine. a literal few extra pounds is perfectly fine. When you can hide a sandwich in your folds, that's a severe health issue.
Positivity is just being positive, nothing more, nothing less. Uplifting individuals working out to get in shape. Helping individuals that are struggling in maintaining weight. Encouraging individuals that wish to lose weight. But responsibilities still exist, and consequences aren't going anywhere. Indulging in a lie to simply be more positive is counterproductive.
Body positivity is serious BS. The flesh is weak. Body neutrality is ok. If it's meant to do a thing and it is doing it well then it's ok, if not, there is a problem waiting to be fixed. Obesity is a serious health concern.
I've been on both sides of the spectrum--fat and skinny. I'm at a normal weight now. I hate that when I look up "bikinis for curvy girls" or "two-piece swimsuit for large bust", the results automatically show me obese people.

dude you earned my sub after citing my favorite George Carlin bit. Keep doing you. EDIT: For the record, the specific skit he's talking about is called "Euphemisms"
I am so sick of this fat positivity bullshit. Up until last year I was 400 pounds, and you know what instead of just being positive about it and trying to accept myself I was at least mature and smart enough to understand that that shit was fucking killing me and I wasn’t going to live very long or even any type of life. I’m only 27 and I’ve had spinal surgery and I have been diagnosed with hip dysplasia. So I decided to do something about it and I got bariatric surgery and in the past 11 months I have lost 210 pounds so I am now sitting at 190 pounds. I really don’t understand these people that think it’s OK to be fat. Yes it’s important to accept yourself for who you are but at the same time you need to understand if you are an unhealthy person so you can do something about it. Surely these people that are pushing positivity must be having the same kind of back pain and out of shape and out of breath experiences that I had. It even just hurts standing up even just walking to the kitchen would make me heavy breathe. These people have to be going through the same thing and there’s no way they are happy about it. Buying clothes was awful, trying to fit inside of a car was awful, I couldn’t do anything recreational or fun because I wasn’t in shape enough. This fat positivity shit just needs to die
Fun fact: Mental Retardation (and consequently Retarded) was used as a medical condition until 2013 when the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statical Manual of Mental Disorder) choosed to change it to Intellectual Disability, and besides the name the treatment and description its word by word the same. Nowadays my little cousins of 11 years old are using Intelectualy Disabled and Retarded. It's gonna be the same with Obesity if some idiot chooses to change it in 2030 to "Heavy Individual" or something like that
They are now trying to change it from disabled to differently abled, just ask any therapist. Just like they don't use the term psychopathy but antisocial personality disorder (ASPD).

One of them is so big she barely fits in her car- she has to move the seat all the way back and lift the steering wheel up, just to extricate herself. Now, because of ongoing whining about their health (and because DEI where we are is definitely a thing) theyre now placed on light duty jobs,which is where you would go say, post-surgery until you heal up. How in Gods name am I able to outpace people in their early 20s?? I know why- because of the nonsense discussed in this video! If you're so big you break toilet seats in Ladies room, then perhaps a change in lifestyle is in order.
Let me say that that doctor is correct. I was overweight. Weighed about 290. It concerned me so I started eating better and working out. I did not drink soda. I refrained from fast food. I ate one meal a day and that was lunch. I was not losing weight. I started feeling physically ill. My back started hurting so bad I had to stop working. After a week of that it was only getting worse and I actually could not eat or drink without getting violently ill. It got to the point where I had to go to the ER. They diagnosed me with complete kidney failure due to a disease that made my kidneys into scar tissue. I had been to a few doctors previously and they recommended nothing but eating better and vitamins. Lots of good that did me huh. So I got stuck in the hospital for 3 weeks and put on hemodialysis. I went from 290 to 190. All of that weight was water my body could not get rid of. Go to a doctor that wants to check every possible avenue of potential illness. It will probably save your life or at least prevent a horrible future.
Sadly, that happens with a lot of diseases. Early diagnoses are lifesavers and sometimes you don't get them for a reason or another. I've been mocked by relatives sometimes because I had something that I didn't know what was it about and told them I wanted to see a specialist to get it checked. They laughed it off telling me I was hypochondriac and that they have this and that and just deal with it and never went to a doctor because it's nothing. Quite frankly, I don't give a damn about being stoic, you don't win any prize for not getting checked. Best you can win is an undiagnosed illness. I'd rather be mocked and called anxious rather than not get diagnosed. Of course you don't have to panic whenever you have a headache and jump to conclusions, especially reading unrelated stuff on the internet and self diagnosing. Now THAT is indeed hypochondriac behaviour. But to get actual issues diagnosed by a professional, especially if it lasts more than a few days, is paramount. What really annoys me is when you get those doctors that minimize issues and tell you "yeah, you got this and that, but I wouldn't do anything about it for now, as it's not that advanced", and then you have an issue and doctors say "if you had it checked immediately, it could have been easily solved". I mean, let's put all doctors in a room together and have them argue with each other until they reach a common standard. I know medicine isn't an exact science like math, but still...
Literally me and I work out and everything but I started gaining weight my legs seem to get bigger and my lower back was hurting so I went to check it out with a doctor and he told me I had kidney failure from some bacteria that had entered me body.
I'm glad that you were concerned about your health to the point where you looked for answers and did something about it. I hope you're much healthier and happier now, genuinely.
Being fat was only considered attractive in a few specific cultures and only as an indicator of wealth. Most civilizations throughout history have not viewed being fat as attractive. Also, Neurodivergent doesn’t mean someone lacks mental acuity it just means they’re different from the norm. It’s not the same as mental retardation

@@wheezer6695 I'm sorry you feel that way, but its either that or people divulge the specifics of their mental abnormalities to you. I'd say this way is a lot less intrusive.
There's nothing wrong with a little self love but bragging to the internet about being obese is the equivalent of bragging about being an alcoholic or drug addict. It's unhealthy, and it can lead you to the end of your life quicker, it is nothing to be prideful about. If you're fine with that then whatever, you do you, but don't be pissy when people call you out for it.
To be fair, there may be cases where the doctor may have you lose weight before conducting any (further) tests simply because the fat makes it impossible to conduct the test.
Video guy didn't put this into words properly, but say I'm diagnosed with leukemia and refusing treatment. I walk in complaining I bleed too much, too long, too easily. Is the doctor wrong in refusing further tests for liver disease, diabetes, etc.? debatable. If I get these tests, and they return negative, is the doctor wrong in not treating me for something he can't falsify but causes the same symptom, like ITP? doubtful, but debatable. If you said yes to either of those, assume now that 50% of the country's population gets diagnosed with leukemia. Does that yes still make sense? maybe. Will insurance companies (or public healthcare) still be able to service these leukemia patients? What about the other half of the population? You can clearly go too far either way here, but I sincerely doubt 'FatTok' influencers take the nuance in this into consideration before saying that the doctor is a bigot for not pumping my leukemic ass full of corticoids.
@@lukegros If we're trying to be fair, a doctor should not (arguably, cannot) treat you for something that they are not able to diagnose you for. Granted, some things do not require testing to prove (e.g. constant bleeding) (though you would still be tested to figure out what is causing the bleeding), but many things do. And if you're bleeding constantly, it doesn't make sense to test for liver and kidney problems before conducting any other kind of test. To bring to attention things that are of less importance and not as life-threatening than bleeding constantly is itself absurd and can raise eyebrows as to whether or not you find the bleeding issue to be of actual concern. If anyone is going to approach things logically, let it be the doctor. Don't try to confuse things. Multiple things can lead to the same symptoms. It is not necessarily easy to diagnose anyone for something (though some things are just plain obvious). Hence why testing is important (though many times inadequate). There are some tests like an echo or an MRI that would be difficult to impossible to perform if the person is overweight. And some health problems are the direct result of being overweight, and that would include liver and kidney problems. Clearly, requiring the patient to make better lifestyle choices is inducing a necessary process of elimination. I would not use leukemia as an example or analogy. We have tests for such a thing that help narrow things down to the point where a proper diagnosis can be made.
@@YourComputer In the hypothetical there's an initial diagnosis for leukemia (which causes low platelet counts, thus clotting issues) and refusal of treatment (by the patient). ITP, liver disease, and diabetes all cause clotting issues, and ITP, by it's nature, can't be ruled out in this case. Furthermore, the second question (if you should be treated for the disease that can't be ruled out) assumes an affirmative answer to the first question (testing despite a condition, leukemia, which already explains the symptom). Regarding the severity of leukemia and the alternatives vs obesity and the alternatives, you can also ask the same questions about osteoarthritis, which is a possible symptom of obesity, and rheumatoid arthritis, which is very hard to rule out in obese people, but treated differently.
@@lukegros There's a reason why testing is even a thing. If per the hypothetical you've been diagnosed with leukemia, redirecting towards ITP, liver disease, kidney, etc, as a cause for clotting issues wouldn't make sense and is arguably a red herring. As such, it would not be wrong of the doctor to deny treating symptoms (i.e. ITP, liver disease, kidney disease, etc) of said leukemia when it has already been concluded that leukemia is the cause. To further press on the matter towards redirection is to affirm ignorance on the whole medical practice. While the same questions can be raised for other issues, you will generally find the same answers. Indeed, it is not as debatable as you make it seem. To be accurate, obesity doesn't cause the varied types of arthritis you mentioned. Nor would it be impossible to rule out for obese people. Simply mentioning "possible symptom" is itself evidence that it is not a direct result of obesity. Even the fact that it might be approached or treated differently would reveal the same.
To be fair, only 5% of the population is obese due to medical reasons, and EVEN THEY benefit from living a healthier lifestyle What I find most surprising is that ONLY those 5% are ever present when I'm insulting fat people
I’m obese. Fat jokes make me laugh. It’s not a slur. It’s a medical condition we have to fix or we’re gonna die miserable in the future. I’m working on mine for my kids. Someone’s gotta be there to walk them down the aisle, and I’m not about to be in a goddamn electric scooter to do it 💪
Keep up the good work bro, I'm also obese and I've made a lot of progress on my weight. Us big fellas gotta support each other in our journeys to better health and a longer life ❤
@@13noheadaddiction is a medical condition. Obesity is a medical condition my man. You treat it like you would any other condition- by treating it. The treatment is diet and exercise. Acting like it’s untreatable when it is would be making excuses.
Thank you. I am still overweight. I lost 80 lbs over the past couple years. I am struggling to get the last 50 lbs off. Thanks for helping keep up the inspiration to keep going. Because of my weight, my body started over-producing cerebral spinal fluid, causing headaches and slowly going blind. I didn't even notice the decrease in my vision until a routine eye doctor visit. Even though he is out of my insurance's network now, I pay the extra costs to see him for exams.
@burnoutxboz Thanks. It's been tough. I thankfully have a good support network. Making new habits and stopping old ones are hard, but they get easier by the day.
Dont know how you train, but you might need to change the way you train if you do mostly weight lifting. I had a friend who was overweight, and lost weight fast at beginning, but then it stopped even when he did more training and eating better now than he did when he started. Its becouse he did mostly "weight" lifting, training strenght. WHat happends is that the fat is turned into muscle, and therefor he did not lose weight. Best way to lose fat is to run it off.
@lisa_moonless317 I had to cancel my gym membership over a year ago. It was getting expensive and we just didn't have time to go anymore. I've mostly stopped weight training, so the only lifting I do is at work or to keep my shoulder in good condition (work related injury, if I stop working and stretching it, it starts to hurt). I could start jogging on my days off and climbing the stairs on a break at work. I hate cardio, but I can do it if necessary. The lifting I do at work is part of the job. Lifting anywhere from 40 to 90 thirty pound cores over a 12-hour shift. I have a couple of maceballs to work my shoulders. The heaviest one is 12 lbs. I only really use them if I need to lately.
I’m actually on the opposite side of this, I’m actually underweight, and I’ve been so for a few months now. But the difference between me and those people, is that I don’t go around complaining about it.
a obese person saying that were not allowed to say “obese” is like an alcoholic saying that were not allowed to say “alcoholic”. while were at it let stop shaming smokers too. they are “people experiencing alternative breathing”
the problem is: is it illegal using the word "obese" ? and if I say so, what's gonna happen? in jail? if the answer is no im gonna use it as much as I want...
Here's why "fatphobic" and "fat shaming" are absolute bullshit. If these people were truly happy with their lives and livestyles rolling around like a bunch of beach whales then you wouldn't be able to shame them. They wouldn't care what anyone said about them because they'd be confident in their obesity. The fact that they feel shamed and insulted when someone calls'em out for being a fatty proves that deep down they know their behavior is shameful, as such they have to put up a hyper aggressive defense.
@@liam3104 Don't believe I said I did. If you want my take on it I don't care what people do with their lives because it's none of my business. My point is that if fat people are confident in their own fatness as people like who we see in those TikTok videos claim to be then they shouldn't view it as a personal attack when an airline won't give them an extra seat for free.
@@liam3104 We dont, everyone case is different and if people are happy with their destructive behaviour (Which it is if the weight develops on health conditions and you do nothing about it, curvy fat and thick dont apply here) then so be it, im the last person to judge since I do some of mine as well, and everyone should be the last person to judge or criticize when we all have our own shitty and destructive behaviours concerning health; the issue comes when these people try to NORMALIZE such behaviour and gaslight people into thinking its actually a GOOD thing. That's what triggers me, that's what triggers probably almost all people, and its entirely justified to do so. I wont call you out for being fat, I'll call you out for being a fat (Or non fat) A-h ole that tries to normalize and incentivice something that shouldnt.
on the note of fat being a privilege the amount of money you have to spend on food to become that big is INSANE. I work a hard labor job and some days I ea as much or more than some of the biggest people i know in a day, they are privileged to not have to work as hard as i do, as I NEED to eat that much to sustain myself for work.

About the tiktok of the doctor. If you're obese the first thing the doctor should tell you is to lose weight. Is the best solution to rule out the majority of the problems, and if the problem persists THEN you get further studies. Besides, when being too obese you can't even fit in an MRI scanner so a lot of testing can't be done until you lose weight.
it really just depends on the situation. for example, if an overweight patient has a personal or family history of medical issues (ex: injuries, musculoskeletal conditions, genetic problems, etc) that could also explain the symptoms then it doesn't make sense to blame everything on the weight and also not look into those other factors. weight might just be contributing instead of being the cause.
also, depending on the patient, the ability to reach a normal weight can take years depending on their ability to do things like exercise. if they are having severe pain or other conditions which limits their physical activity, they likely won't be able to lose weight very fast even if they improve their diet. so if they keep going to dr's saying "i lost x pounds and still feel shitty" over and over it doesn't make sense to keep telling them to "lose more" or delaying investigating other possible causes for potentially years until they're slim. by that point, if the problem was caused by an underlying issue, by the time all the weight is gone it's likely gotten way worse because it was untreated for so long.
my relative was overweight and had a documented history of injuries and VISIBLE musculoskeletal conditions, but every time they saw a doctor their pain was just blamed on the weight, even when they were losing and saying it wasn't helping and things were getting worse, for years they were brushed off/just given a few pills that didnt work, and had to jump through hoops for tests. they're at a healthy weight now but it doesn't matter because they're disabled and in pain every day, because the real problem was several degenerative joint and nervous system conditions as a direct result of the aforementioned injuries and conditions, and others as a result of the job they were working. all of this could have been caught sooner if docs just fucking did their job and looked at peoples medical files and work histories and not just saying everything is because weight.🙃
even if someone's problem truly was just weight related, there's no reason not to do basic tests or reviews to rule out other factors.
No, it doesn't. I lost 40 kgs in 6 months without even trying. Just put the fork down and go for a walk. Also, don't blame the doctor because your relative is fat. If they weren't fat, they would have been diagnosed sooner.
@@crappyaccount I'm sorry for your family member, my mother has similar issues and cannot lose weight to save her life due to arthritis and joint pain. People don't get how hard it is. Yes, we should always try to be at a healthy weight but people shouldn't be dismissed when something hurts and they are also fat. You feel so unheard and makes it worse! Those doctors didn't do their job listening to their patient. Some compassion for other people is not a big ask.
@@crappyaccountlosing weight does not take years, unless you’re 1000lbs. I lost 20 pounds in the last month. Walk and have a caloric deficit. Also, there can be underlying reasons why losing weight takes longer. If your gut health is garbage, it can stop your weight loss journey. Check if you have a candida yeast infection or other gastrointestinal issues.
@@daniellubitz9693 losing weight CAN take a while, depending on your ability to do basic exercise like walk for example. like i said above, the relative i was talking about (who was no where near 1000 pounds) had a severe spinal injury which caused a deformity of their back and legs along with several other neurological/ musculoskeletal problems, joint degeneration and arthritis affecting their ability to move around. to this day they can literally be sitting doing nothing and having excruciating pain. they lost the weight through diet and are now a healthy weight, but it took a while because that's the only method they had...they couldn't just go hit the gym or go jogging every day or something. it's easy to tell someone to "just walk more" when every step doesn't flare up 5+ different inoperable health conditions that meds do nothing for🙃 like, this is good advice in general but please be more understanding to those who have disabilities. what im trying to say whats easy to us is not easy to everyone.
i agree that the person being overweight didn't help their condition, but the point i was making was that doctors are quick to blame complaints solely on someone being fat (instead of looking at it as just one part of the problem) and dont bother looking for any underlying issues, which is ESPECIALLY stupid when they a) have a documented medical history of non weight related stuff that could explain the symptoms or b) start losing weight and it doesn't help or their symptoms have gotten WORSE.

Not just a slur but something to be aspiring too. In their world this is to be glorified, cherished or revered as "we are all different". Differednt, yes. Different weights and different states of bad health.

Well you can not over indulge and yea you'll lose weight, but you won't notice it till a year. You need a combination of not over eating and exercising to burn the fat reserves, or just starve yourself and have your fat reserves fuel your body but that'll hurt.
Depends on the problem. For example I've been having pain in the lower part of my legs for over a decade (around the ankle region including the feet), after 2-5 minutes of walking I need to stop, feet go numb and muscle hurts worse than a cramp. I haven't sought medical attention for it until now because I was told "it's because you're fat, just lose weight" and that was when I was just a bit overweight, not even close to obese. Problem was walking was how I burned most of my calories so obviously I became obese after a while - I lasted a year pushing through the excruciating pain in my legs until I sunk into depression and that put an end to it. Eventually I did lose the weight, got into normal range and guess what? Pain still there, if I had sought medical attention for it then instead of blaming it on my weight, I wouldn't have gone obese, I wouldn't have avoided getting out of the house and meeting with friends, maybe that would've helped with my depression too.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a medical term, any word can be used as a slur. The problem is people don’t understand English and these self proclaimed victims are exploiting that to redefine subjective terms like “slur” into objective ones.
The doctor made a good point, and the same thing happens to women all the time. The symptoms are brushed off as side effects of anxiety and they're prescribed ssris instead of being further examined. There are tons of examples of this happening and its honestly really sad

This video randomly reminds me of the "Heart Attack Grill" restaurant. There's this guy known as Dr. John who owns an restaurant called Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas and he is a vegetarian and a nutritionist, he started out on the complete opposite side of fighting obesity as the owner of a gym franchise but he was sued by a major fast food chain because his gym's name sounded similar to their restaurants. He lost the lawsuit and his businesses, his whole world was destroyed.
He felt like he couldn't beat the fast food industry and all his efforts to promote health and wellness lost out because he didn't have as much money and couldn't afford better lawyers. From this sense of loss and failure, a villain was born. He decided basically if you can't beat 'em, join ‘em and that's when he opened the heart attack grill. He openly admitted that his food can kill people and he warns them about the risks and doesn't force them to eat at his restaurant. You'd think with those circumstances his business is doomed to fail but people still choose to eat there everyday. He's like the antagonist of the story but he never killed a single character. The characters themselves chose the risk of death proving an accurate point about Americans diet and the fast food industry. The restaurant allows to eat there for FREE if you are a certain amount of overweight purposely allowing customers to choose to kill themselves. He even owned one of the regular customers ashes after he died due to obesity which caused an heart attack choosing to eat at his restaurant everyday to further prove his point and put the bag of his ashes on the table during an interview in the documentary that's on youtube.
as i recently heard my aunt point out, if you are eating significantly more food than necessary, the food is just as wasted as if you'd thrown it away.
@RandomAnything-su5wf just as as drinking excessively and vomitting or buying groceries to just trash them.
Its goes to the toilet anyways
not exactly, Your body will use that extra calories from fat, people just don't let their bodies do so. This is the premise of fasting, no calorie goes to waste, you just need to use it
So what's more than necessary? But that's a silly way to look at it regardless. If it's eaten, it's eaten. If it's not eaten, it's wasted. That's like saying fuel is wasted just because you put your foot down more than you absolutely had to, or you didn't turn your car off every time you sat still
@@balakehb those are perfect examples of wasting fuel. Pushing on the gas harder then necessary leads to a larger consumption of fuel compared to using it as needed. That's a waste. And yeah let's say your stuck on the highway for an hour and you don't move or your just sitting in your drive way for a excessive amount of time for no reason and just letting the car run, that's a waste of fuel.
You probably don't even believe in global warming judging by the examples you gave, so why should anyone listen to you

I grew up with some close friends that were fat as kids. None of them were happy about it.

As someone who's still in the process of digging themselves out of the povery hole:
Being overweight is a lot like being in debt, the worse you let it get the longer you're going to have to work on fixing it AND you're going to need to take more drastic steps to fix it in addition to working on it for longer.
But I don't let my situation define me. And I don't pretend like my situation is "acceptable."
Nobody wants to date someone who's broke!
But instead of getting mad or offended, I've doubled down on my commitment to making something of myself.
Now I'm getting certified to teach a couple different styles of yoga + pilates & I start every day with a heated workout class BEFORE I work a full 9-5.
My commitment to improving my situation has made me a ton of new friends, gotten me in better shape than I've ever been (I'm 5'10" & 160lbs) AND I'M MAKING MYSELF FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT OF MY PRIMARY EMPLOYER!
You can't trust any company these days to not screw you over for a better final quarter. So why not diversify your income streams? Why not just drive for Uber or Lyft? I mean... you can... if you wanna put tons of undesirable wear & tear on your vehicle.... and you'll still be getting screwed by a company.
So yeah. Whether your weight is a problem or your finances are a problem: the only one who can solve your problem IS YOU. Step One starts with committing to resolving the problem in a way that you can sustain on a day-to-day basis.
Doing something once or twice a week is just an excuse to continue to suffer with a problem while acting like the world is against you & nothing you do can change it. 😂

The term "obese" in my case was the catalyst for my transformation. Was told I was "clinically obese" when I was 18.

The biggest problem (pun intended) that obesity causes in my day to day life is a random one..
I work at a crematorium. It's getting more common that huge, wardrobe shaped coffins are being used for obese people. Sometimes its a tight fit for the cremator, and can cause some pretty bad turbulence in the main chamber, causing damage to the refactory brickwork, etc. When it's someone that big, the fat can start leaking out too, causing damage to components of the cremator. As you can imagine, it ain't nice cleaning that up either..
In a few years, you're gonna see a lot of crematoriums have to gut out their cremators for even bigger cremators just to keep up with the demand of more and more obese people.
Edit: It's also a risk for our musculoskeletal health. Ive nearly put my back out wheeling around coffins of this size.

It is your duty to truthfully report to a patient. You should’ve said “ok well you can hear the results/verdict, or I guess we don’t have to talk about it at all and this whole appointment was a waste of time.”
Body positivity stops when it's unhealthy. you can be a little chubby, totally fine. a literal few extra pounds is perfectly fine. When you can hide a sandwich in your folds, that's a severe health issue.
Positivity is just being positive, nothing more, nothing less. Uplifting individuals working out to get in shape. Helping individuals that are struggling in maintaining weight. Encouraging individuals that wish to lose weight. But responsibilities still exist, and consequences aren't going anywhere. Indulging in a lie to simply be more positive is counterproductive.
Yurr 💯
when you look like a walking michelin commercial figure, is when it's a health issue.
Hiding a sandwich might be the least of their problems, I'm starting to think fat accumulates in the brain too and we just haven't discovered it yet.
Body positivity is serious BS. The flesh is weak.
Body neutrality is ok. If it's meant to do a thing and it is doing it well then it's ok, if not, there is a problem waiting to be fixed. Obesity is a serious health concern.

I’m only 27 and I’ve had spinal surgery and I have been diagnosed with hip dysplasia. So I decided to do something about it and I got bariatric surgery and in the past 11 months I have lost 210 pounds so I am now sitting at 190 pounds. I really don’t understand these people that think it’s OK to be fat. Yes it’s important to accept yourself for who you are but at the same time you need to understand if you are an unhealthy person so you can do something about it. Surely these people that are pushing positivity must be having the same kind of back pain and out of shape and out of breath experiences that I had. It even just hurts standing up even just walking to the kitchen would make me heavy breathe. These people have to be going through the same thing and there’s no way they are happy about it.

Let me say that that doctor is correct.
I was overweight. Weighed about 290.
It concerned me so I started eating better and working out. I did not drink soda. I refrained from fast food. I ate one meal a day and that was lunch.
I was not losing weight.
I started feeling physically ill. My back started hurting so bad I had to stop working.
After a week of that it was only getting worse and I actually could not eat or drink without getting violently ill.
It got to the point where I had to go to the ER.
They diagnosed me with complete kidney failure due to a disease that made my kidneys into scar tissue.
I had been to a few doctors previously and they recommended nothing but eating better and vitamins.
Lots of good that did me huh.
So I got stuck in the hospital for 3 weeks and put on hemodialysis.
I went from 290 to 190. All of that weight was water my body could not get rid of.
Go to a doctor that wants to check every possible avenue of potential illness. It will probably save your life or at least prevent a horrible future.
For every rare condition 5 GP doctors scratch their heads and give token advice.
Sadly, that happens with a lot of diseases. Early diagnoses are lifesavers and sometimes you don't get them for a reason or another.
I've been mocked by relatives sometimes because I had something that I didn't know what was it about and told them I wanted to see a specialist to get it checked.
They laughed it off telling me I was hypochondriac and that they have this and that and just deal with it and never went to a doctor because it's nothing.
Quite frankly, I don't give a damn about being stoic, you don't win any prize for not getting checked. Best you can win is an undiagnosed illness.
I'd rather be mocked and called anxious rather than not get diagnosed. Of course you don't have to panic whenever you have a headache and jump to conclusions, especially reading unrelated stuff on the internet and self diagnosing. Now THAT is indeed hypochondriac behaviour.
But to get actual issues diagnosed by a professional, especially if it lasts more than a few days, is paramount.
What really annoys me is when you get those doctors that minimize issues and tell you "yeah, you got this and that, but I wouldn't do anything about it for now, as it's not that advanced", and then you have an issue and doctors say "if you had it checked immediately, it could have been easily solved".
I mean, let's put all doctors in a room together and have them argue with each other until they reach a common standard. I know medicine isn't an exact science like math, but still...
Literally me and I work out and everything but I started gaining weight my legs seem to get bigger and my lower back was hurting so I went to check it out with a doctor and he told me I had kidney failure from some bacteria that had entered me body.
I was just turning 20 at the time. So even the doctors were surprised I had a kidney failure
I'm glad that you were concerned about your health to the point where you looked for answers and did something about it.
I hope you're much healthier and happier now, genuinely.
Being fat was only considered attractive in a few specific cultures and only as an indicator of wealth. Most civilizations throughout history have not viewed being fat as attractive.

It's unhealthy, and it can lead you to the end of your life quicker, it is nothing to be prideful about. If you're fine with that then whatever, you do you, but don't be pissy when people call you out for it.
To be fair, there may be cases where the doctor may have you lose weight before conducting any (further) tests simply because the fat makes it impossible to conduct the test.
Video guy didn't put this into words properly, but say I'm diagnosed with leukemia and refusing treatment.
I walk in complaining I bleed too much, too long, too easily. Is the doctor wrong in refusing further tests for liver disease, diabetes, etc.? debatable. If I get these tests, and they return negative, is the doctor wrong in not treating me for something he can't falsify but causes the same symptom, like ITP? doubtful, but debatable.
If you said yes to either of those, assume now that 50% of the country's population gets diagnosed with leukemia. Does that yes still make sense? maybe. Will insurance companies (or public healthcare) still be able to service these leukemia patients? What about the other half of the population?
You can clearly go too far either way here, but I sincerely doubt 'FatTok' influencers take the nuance in this into consideration before saying that the doctor is a bigot for not pumping my leukemic ass full of corticoids.
@@lukegros If we're trying to be fair, a doctor should not (arguably, cannot) treat you for something that they are not able to diagnose you for. Granted, some things do not require testing to prove (e.g. constant bleeding) (though you would still be tested to figure out what is causing the bleeding), but many things do. And if you're bleeding constantly, it doesn't make sense to test for liver and kidney problems before conducting any other kind of test. To bring to attention things that are of less importance and not as life-threatening than bleeding constantly is itself absurd and can raise eyebrows as to whether or not you find the bleeding issue to be of actual concern. If anyone is going to approach things logically, let it be the doctor. Don't try to confuse things.
Multiple things can lead to the same symptoms. It is not necessarily easy to diagnose anyone for something (though some things are just plain obvious). Hence why testing is important (though many times inadequate). There are some tests like an echo or an MRI that would be difficult to impossible to perform if the person is overweight. And some health problems are the direct result of being overweight, and that would include liver and kidney problems. Clearly, requiring the patient to make better lifestyle choices is inducing a necessary process of elimination.
I would not use leukemia as an example or analogy. We have tests for such a thing that help narrow things down to the point where a proper diagnosis can be made.
@@YourComputer In the hypothetical there's an initial diagnosis for leukemia (which causes low platelet counts, thus clotting issues) and refusal of treatment (by the patient). ITP, liver disease, and diabetes all cause clotting issues, and ITP, by it's nature, can't be ruled out in this case.
Furthermore, the second question (if you should be treated for the disease that can't be ruled out) assumes an affirmative answer to the first question (testing despite a condition, leukemia, which already explains the symptom).
Regarding the severity of leukemia and the alternatives vs obesity and the alternatives, you can also ask the same questions about osteoarthritis, which is a possible symptom of obesity, and rheumatoid arthritis, which is very hard to rule out in obese people, but treated differently.
@@lukegros There's a reason why testing is even a thing. If per the hypothetical you've been diagnosed with leukemia, redirecting towards ITP, liver disease, kidney, etc, as a cause for clotting issues wouldn't make sense and is arguably a red herring. As such, it would not be wrong of the doctor to deny treating symptoms (i.e. ITP, liver disease, kidney disease, etc) of said leukemia when it has already been concluded that leukemia is the cause. To further press on the matter towards redirection is to affirm ignorance on the whole medical practice.
While the same questions can be raised for other issues, you will generally find the same answers. Indeed, it is not as debatable as you make it seem.
To be accurate, obesity doesn't cause the varied types of arthritis you mentioned. Nor would it be impossible to rule out for obese people. Simply mentioning "possible symptom" is itself evidence that it is not a direct result of obesity. Even the fact that it might be approached or treated differently would reveal the same.
To be fair, only 5% of the population is obese due to medical reasons, and EVEN THEY benefit from living a healthier lifestyle
What I find most surprising is that ONLY those 5% are ever present when I'm insulting fat people
I’m obese. Fat jokes make me laugh. It’s not a slur. It’s a medical condition we have to fix or we’re gonna die miserable in the future. I’m working on mine for my kids. Someone’s gotta be there to walk them down the aisle, and I’m not about to be in a goddamn electric scooter to do it 💪
Keep up the good work bro, I'm also obese and I've made a lot of progress on my weight. Us big fellas gotta support each other in our journeys to better health and a longer life ❤
@@pregnanttomato9576hell yeah brother. We got this
That's good for you, but it's not a medical condition any more than smoking too much weed is a medical condition. Don't make excuses
@@13noheadaddiction is a medical condition. Obesity is a medical condition my man. You treat it like you would any other condition- by treating it. The treatment is diet and exercise. Acting like it’s untreatable when it is would be making excuses.
@@stephengeist344 wow. Saying being fat and being an addict are the same is just ignorant. But ok kid. Huff that copium some more
Thank you. I am still overweight. I lost 80 lbs over the past couple years. I am struggling to get the last 50 lbs off. Thanks for helping keep up the inspiration to keep going.
Because of my weight, my body started over-producing cerebral spinal fluid, causing headaches and slowly going blind. I didn't even notice the decrease in my vision until a routine eye doctor visit. Even though he is out of my insurance's network now, I pay the extra costs to see him for exams.
Keep on keeping on lad! You’re doing great work! Work hard to become the person who you wanna be.
@burnoutxboz Thanks. It's been tough. I thankfully have a good support network. Making new habits and stopping old ones are hard, but they get easier by the day.
Dont know how you train, but you might need to change the way you train if you do mostly weight lifting. I had a friend who was overweight, and lost weight fast at beginning, but then it stopped even when he did more training and eating better now than he did when he started. Its becouse he did mostly "weight" lifting, training strenght. WHat happends is that the fat is turned into muscle, and therefor he did not lose weight.
Best way to lose fat is to run it off.
@lisa_moonless317 I had to cancel my gym membership over a year ago. It was getting expensive and we just didn't have time to go anymore. I've mostly stopped weight training, so the only lifting I do is at work or to keep my shoulder in good condition (work related injury, if I stop working and stretching it, it starts to hurt). I could start jogging on my days off and climbing the stairs on a break at work. I hate cardio, but I can do it if necessary.
The lifting I do at work is part of the job. Lifting anywhere from 40 to 90 thirty pound cores over a 12-hour shift.
I have a couple of maceballs to work my shoulders. The heaviest one is 12 lbs. I only really use them if I need to lately.
Congratulations!
I’m actually on the opposite side of this, I’m actually underweight, and I’ve been so for a few months now. But the difference between me and those people, is that I don’t go around complaining about it.
unless you are heavily underweight with an eating disorder it isnt unhealthy
It’s the personal equivalent of a company rebranding to dodge accountability.
a obese person saying that were not allowed to say “obese” is like an alcoholic saying that were not allowed to say “alcoholic”.
while were at it let stop shaming smokers too. they are “people experiencing alternative breathing”
the problem is: is it illegal using the word "obese" ? and if I say so, what's gonna happen? in jail? if the answer is no im gonna use it as much as I want...
@@TheGenioInformatico-ju1hsI bet u won’t go around saying the n word even tho it’s legal. I still completely agree with u lmao
I enjoy me a little alternative breathing every now and again.
As a smoker, I want to be called a carginogen enjoyer

Here's why "fatphobic" and "fat shaming" are absolute bullshit. If these people were truly happy with their lives and livestyles rolling around like a bunch of beach whales then you wouldn't be able to shame them. They wouldn't care what anyone said about them because they'd be confident in their obesity. The fact that they feel shamed and insulted when someone calls'em out for being a fatty proves that deep down they know their behavior is shameful, as such they have to put up a hyper aggressive defense.
Why do you get the urge to call out someone for being fat?
when does he say this@@liam3104
@@liam3104 Don't believe I said I did. If you want my take on it I don't care what people do with their lives because it's none of my business. My point is that if fat people are confident in their own fatness as people like who we see in those TikTok videos claim to be then they shouldn't view it as a personal attack when an airline won't give them an extra seat for free.
@@liam3104 We dont, everyone case is different and if people are happy with their destructive behaviour (Which it is if the weight develops on health conditions and you do nothing about it, curvy fat and thick dont apply here) then so be it, im the last person to judge since I do some of mine as well, and everyone should be the last person to judge or criticize when we all have our own shitty and destructive behaviours concerning health; the issue comes when these people try to NORMALIZE such behaviour and gaslight people into thinking its actually a GOOD thing. That's what triggers me, that's what triggers probably almost all people, and its entirely justified to do so.
I wont call you out for being fat, I'll call you out for being a fat (Or non fat) A-h ole that tries to normalize and incentivice something that shouldnt.
on the note of fat being a privilege the amount of money you have to spend on food to become that big is INSANE. I work a hard labor job and some days I ea as much or more than some of the biggest people i know in a day, they are privileged to not have to work as hard as i do, as I NEED to eat that much to sustain myself for work.
nah, #1 physical and mental work are different and less calories burning dont mean less worthy job or higher $ intake, the poorest islands in Oceania have 40%+ obese rate.. and #2 fast junk food in the US is cheaper and more available than any vegetable

1:09:00 it’s not cheaper to buy premade foods, it’s cheaper to buy the ingredients and cook, but it is more convenient to buy premade foods. Speaking from experience and being 370-380lbs 6ft early 30s guy. Would I rather buy and cook everything or buy hot pockets and frozen meals that I just pop in the microwave? Which ever lets me be more lazy, not gonna lie. Am I regretting choosing to live like this through my 20s? Hell yes I am.
This is what happens when you grow up being told everything bad that happens to you is the cause of a power structure outside of your control. WHY did we expect them to turn out differently?
One thing I don't expect is media and government listen more to these people, by making random law or censored word easily to protect their feeling..
