Oh hey look it’s Scott’s second channel just dropping the link to stream the song okay have a great day 😊 distrokid.com/hyperfollow/scottcramer/wii-fit
I remember weighing 158.3 lbs nearly 10 years ago. I was at this weight in March 2014. I feel like the quote above resonates with how I felt at that time and since then I got myself in better shape and made better food choices. My choices for food were mostly terrible then from my point of view before covid. I was still eating terrible food back then despite the restrictions of my diet which I still have to this day. I was at the gym with my former personal trainer right around the time that covid first hit. I stopped doing sessions with him in June 2022 since I had lifted a lot of weight in not such a good way and this happened nearly a year after my recovery from chemo and surgery since I was diagnosed with cancer in May 2021 and the surgery happened near the beginning of September. I had been demotivated from covid for several months to a year. This was not long before the time I found out that I had cancer. I was in terrible pain around this time and I shrugged it off as discomfort. I hadn’t realized that it was something much worse. This pain was confirmed to be from cancer with a CT scan and an ultrasound which detected the tumor in my left testicle which has since been removed through the surgery. I had to go into chemo after I found this out. I used some special mouth care equipment during the chemo and before and slightly after the surgery. I had lost some considerable weight during this period and was quite a bit underweight. I have gained a significant amount of weight back and I am now I am at a good and healthy weight between 145 and 146 lbs.
our wii fit would tell every single person in our family that our hypothetical ‘age’ was ~20 years older and we would have to watch our miis do that elderly animation where they hunch over lol. this game was so passive aggressive for no reason
same. I was obsessed with ensuring I was just below a healthy weight at all times. I wanted to be at the very top of underweight because I assumed a healthy weight or average weight in the game was for "the average American,." which isn't fit. I was always thin growing up but was still terrified of gaining weight or god forbid being chubby. I only ate a tiny bowl of cucumbers for lunch for years during school and growing up I refused to finish my plate, believing that was "fat ugly girl behavior," so my family kept putting less and less food on my plate so I started starving but I still wouldn't finish my plate because I had to stay true to my beliefs. It was awful. Now I eat until I'm full with no shame and my body is bangin', if I do say so myself.
I have to say, contacting the guy who made a similar video was such a brilliant addition to the video and I genuinely hope it's a trend we see more of in the future. Not just on your channel but across yt. Collaborating and building on each other, instead of competing or racing against each other.
Lmao I clicked on this video purely because I was concerned he'd ripped off the other guy (not that I'd expect Scott to do that) so glad to hear that's not the case
it’s actually genuinely insightful watching this game create anxiety around exercise & food even in a Fully Grown Man, given that this game was marketed to families (i remember playing it as a kid & i did end up developing an eating disorder i’m still working through) i can’t imagine the kind of impact this had on a lot of kids D:
I remember in high school there was a special needs student who's parents requested that she do Wii Fit everyday. Us teens that knew better tried to tell the teacher that was with her that Wii Fit is BS but of course it was out of our hands. We all felt bad for the student, especially when she would get one of the really mean passive aggressive prompts.
wii fit told my elementary school self that I was obese 💀 over a decade later and I still have not achieved a healthy relationship with food- wasn't the sole factor, but definitely did NOT help
I remember having this. I was underweight so it shows my Mii's arms flutter in the wind. My husband got morbidly obese and it fell like a giant rock behind him. He was so angry. He played a bit for a month here and there and the Wii kept saying he wasn't loosing any weight. I would play a bit more and after a while the Wii Fit would ask where he was. It didn't ask about the other two people it deemed average (two friends who tried it). It kept asking about him.
@@JayteeStarrI SWEAR my brother stood on the balance board with me while i was weighing myself one day and the tuba sound with the “oh.. that’s obese!” absolutely destroyed me
id say ringfit is a much less stressful experience and i always feel like i get a good sweat out of it. It doesnt weigh you or berate you, just lets you battle monsters and encourages you to keep going
I kept thinking about Ring Fit for the whole video. Seems like it does everything Wii Fit pretends to do, and does it all even better with no judgement and lots of helpful check-ins. The warm-ups and cool-downs, reminders to hydrate, the ability to take a sec for a break anytime you need it without penalty, and your buddy character being pure encouragement- Don't get me wrong, it definitely feels a little silly to be told I'm doing great and cheered for every single squat, but on the other hand... I'm glad they didn't go this judgemental shaming route. Ring Fit is legitimately fun and you can see actual results (I didn't lose weight, but I did get stronger!) in as short as a few weeks or a month. Wii Fit seems... like it's done the exact opposite of what it was marketed to do.
Scott is the only RUclipsr I know to record a gaming video and not record the console screen with a capture card and just point his phone camera at the screen
@@XOmangoXO I mean, you can show both. That's what most RUclipsrs do for these types of games. Most likely he just doesn't own a capture card because capturing gameplay footage isn't a regular part of his job.
Scott's child copying his movements is exactly what I needed today. Thank you, Scott. This video slaps. Edit: The song slaps even harder, was not expecting it, and it has such a good rhythm.
Honestly as someone who very recently started trying to take my health more seriously and get active again, I needed this video so badly. Even though it's only been about a week since I started, I've already struggled with feeling guilty over days where I don't exercise or eat things that I "shouldn't." It's so easy to lose sight of what fitness should be about (a positive life change and a celebration of what your body can do) and fall into a trap of shame. Going forward, I'm genuinely going to keep this video in the back of my mind and remember that my personal fitness is about making myself feel good.
@@ylondes9927exercising every single day with no rest days is not a good way to start an exercise plan. Especially for a beginner. It’s a highway to burnout.
@@ylondes9927 hey, starting something new can be pretty hard, you don't need to be mean to them :// you don't know the reasons they skipped a day or two, it does not affect you and therefore it's none of your business /nm
I always forget that regular wii fit doesn't have the workout sessions, because I had wii fit plus. on wii fit plus, there were yoga and strength sessions, as well as the option to create a blend of all the games on wii fit based on the goals you had for yourself. you could even set a time limit you wanted to workout for and everything
Oh good call. I was confused why he had no workout plans on his. I've only ever had plus. Looks like Scott needs to try again with plus and compare the results 😆
Not me realizing that wii fit is the origin of why I feel so much shame about my weight, thank you scott for shedding light on how simple it can be to develop feelings of guilt surrounding weight or even an eating disorder. Unironically cried while watching this.
Me too … my parents bought themselves a Wii fit so they could “lose weight WHILE they played with their kids!!” But really it just ended up becoming another toy for my sister and I so I never really associated it with weight loss, just the silly candle game and the fun running ones. This video made me remember so much more about that board and I’m connecting the dots to the way I understand my body even still today. I had always considered myself relatively untouched by toxic dieting, but now I’m realizing just how prevalent and dangerous it really is…
I'm sorry you had such a terrible experience. I know if it was me this would've shattered my self-esteem. Thank you for putting yourself out there for us all the same.
31:49 dude this line holy hell yes. The gaslighting yourself into thinking you were overreacting by having a negative experience when people were being incredibly toxic towards you is so freaking real. Yes it's important to self reflect because there are some instances where you are at fault or simply not handing things well, but there are also times when you are mistreated. Recognizing both is important. Recognizing your feelings and where they're stemming from is important. Recognizing if those feelings are ones that deserve your focus and energy or if they're ones to feel then let pass is critical. I'm just dumping my thoughts into the ether at this point but yeah. Trust yourself but don't forget to listen to reason and the perspective of others without discrediting your own experience.
Wii Fit was really out here gaslighting us about our fitness.. as an insecure child I played this a lot thinking it would actually do something for me, but the way it sutbly insult you all the time didn't help, surprisingly.. 27 now and playing Ring Fit regularly and, oh man, they really really improved the workout experience since the Wii Fit days
would you say ring fit is actually helpful? i keep hearing about it but having wii fit+ as a kid/teen kind of ruined my relationship to health and exercise so i haven’t tried it yet
@@s.o.m3241 Ring Fit is better in just about every way compared to Wii Fit. It actively praises you for what you're doing right, as opposed to subtly shaming you for what you're not doing right. You can choose how easy or how hard the game is on a scale of 1 to 30 respectively. The exercises properly engage your body much more rigorously. And it plays like a light RPG with your choices in exercises and enemy targeting actually kinda mattering. Oh, and all the collectibles in the game are based on exercise apparel and healthy foods, so it passively encourages healthy habits.
@@s.o.m3241 as someone already replied, Ring Fit does about everything better than Wii Fit. Worth mentioning that while Ring Fit asks for weight and age and height, they never mention BMI or weight gain or weight loss (they just use it to estimate calories which I have heard is always a bit less than what you actually burn from a workout). Ring (which is a character in-game, like how the balance board was made a character) is encouraging and fun and their only input is a few tips to perform better (to deal more damage to enemies) and to count down repetitions, which is especially useful for when you can't see the screen. For the first time in my life I kind of look forward to exercise because progressing through levels and following a story have always been a big motivator for me personally. And the writing can be surprisingly funny at times.
@@s.o.m3241 Chiming in to say that Ring Fit is what Wii Fit was supposed to be. All the talk of teaching healthy habits and encouraging you keep them is actually there in Ring Fit. The guidance character is purely positive, not a single degrading word or shaming comment. And it actively encourages you to hydrate and stretch and such, too. Also checks in with you when you've been playing for awhile to make sure you're okay to keep going, especially if you start to struggle with the exercises suddenly. And even if you're away for awhile, the game's biggest concern is making sure the intensity/difficulty you had set before is going to still be okay now. Add to that the RPG game theming with enemies to beat, levels to explore, and challenges to clear- and it's honestly fun, even playing it day after day. And hey, if the RPG elements aren't your thing, there's a workout mode you can use instead. It's honestly great.
Man, this makes me really want to see you have a go at 100 days of ring fit, that game is so much more supportive and fun to play! Would be curious to see the comparison
@@SuperKawaiiCupcakes I promise it's not. You're in a progressive war with a gym-bro demon trying to subjugate the world. It's up to you and your Ring to humble him. That's the plot
I’d genuinely recommend a video like this for Ring Fit Adventure. I played it every day for like 200+ days back in 2020 and it really changed my life for the better. I got a lot of decent cardio and even some basic strength training while I was locked inside, and I’d love to see others cover it!
@@emmanuel8538 yeah, I watched that video, it’s great! Ring Fit Adventure was a great first step to get me more into fitness, I definitely recommend it if you’re able to get into playing it every day. The only real issue is that it’s kind of easy to fall out of the game and lose motivation to keep playing. But if you can maintain that motivation, it can do a lot of good!
If a game EVER asked me, "Did a little baby trip you up, during that one?" I would genuinely be so terrified. Also a meditating seated sonic becoming so minorly scared by the Wii Fit Meditation game = so choice
As someone with a history of eating disorders (maybe influenced by having wii fit as too young of a child, who knows) this video did such a great job at poking fun of stuff like this without becoming triggering, thank you for that!!
Agreed! To hear someone’s thoughts about how messed up the machine is for disrespecting them is so much relief because as a child I took that and was like “oh I’m a horrible person”. Wherever thought having the AÍ be a bit sassy to adolescent girls was not the best idea lol
My surface-level memories of Wii Fit are fun, but I think a lot of my body image issues today stem from this game. As a teenager, I always hovered around the upper end of “normal” BMI-wise, so the first time it told me I was overweight (and played that awful tuba sound that mocks you) I was shattered. I felt like a worthless, disgusting failure and instead of being motivated to work out, I just started eating the bare minimum all the time. My mom sat me down and explained how BMI doesn’t take into account weight distribution, so there was an important difference between my weight spread over a stick figure like the Mii and my own body (with muscular thighs, a D cup, and height stunted by anti-anxiety meds they put me on at 11). I’m almost 30 now and unfortunately still picture this game in my head when I weigh myself, hearing that tuba sound laughing at me. Even with a better understanding of weight and metabolism, I still have a horribly strong tie between my weight and my self-worth. 😔
this is very relatable. i haven’t weighed myself in years, threw my scales out and refuse to have them in the house. now i try and trust my body when it tells me what it needs, and accommodate however that looks. it’s a hard road, starting from that place 😭💛
I'm so sorry you had that experience. I'm 40 and for the last 5 years I've been a dog walker. I walked at least 2 hours per day and ate decent. (Oatmeal breakfast, healthy choice dinners and occasional take out.) Guess how much weight I've lost??? I'm 5'6 and I've stayed 200lbs this whole time. Last year, I was like 'fcuk it all' and stopped caring about my weight. ❤ I hope you too one day will realize your weight doesn't define you. You are more than just a number on a broken machine.
2 years ago I did do wii fit every day and I set up a rotine that was 30 mins alternating yoga and strength exercise. It was great cause otherwise I would just spend those 30 minutes sitting at my computer, but I always played with it muted and skipped through whatever the board had to say because it was useless. I already knew that BMI is trash but when the board told me I lost 15 lbs in a day it was all I needed to know that I couldn't believe a thing it told me.
It's actually really interesting seeing the perspective of someone of an average body weight play the game. I remember I picked up Wii Fit both as a bit of nostalgia and to encourage myself to start healthier habits when I was underweight, with the goal to *gain* weight. I remember the game being a lot more gentle towards me than seen here. Don't get me wrong, it did have its snark and I got called lazy a good share of times, but I never felt like it outright shamed me for it. I knew the game wasn't doing much for me for fitness in the direct sense, but I kept on picking up the game because it encouraged me to push a little further and gave me a fun way to keep track of my progress. While I slowly started to fade off of the game as I gained weight, I had a pretty positive experience with it. It's really unfortunate that it takes a complete 180 whenever someone is trying to lose weight and really goes to show the standards we have set. We perceive being "overweight" as not only unhealthy, but as a moral wrongdoing. You mentioned how the game is unable to account for outside circumstances like slipping up or a baby walking on the balance board, but it always just blames the player for whatever happened. Health is measured on an arbitrary BMI scale and shames you for not fitting neatly onto the scale. It especially sucks because as I mentioned, I positively benefit from the game in my attempts to gain weight, and they know how to use positive reinforcement for underweight people (at least from my admittedly faulty memory). So why does that have to change for people "overweight?"
The ring-based fitness game (I forget the title) that came out during the pandemic was a much more positive experience than this seems to have been. I played that so much that I actually messed up my ankles and had to stop. I loved running through all of the crazy landscapes, and I just about lost my crap when I got access to the archery. It wasn't even about fitness pretty quickly, it was just about getting to pretend I was running around outside and shooting monsters with a bow. It did get judgy if you didn't play for a while, but I only know that because my husband wasn't as into it as I was. Anyway, so you should do that one for 100 days.
It's called Ring Fit Adventure! I have it and love it as well! It's hard to get back into after you've been away for a while, but I never found it to be judgy about it. It just asks if you're sure you'll be able to continue with the same intensity as before, gives you the option to turn it up or down before you even start playing. Seems perfectly logical to me. Maybe I've been away because I was morbidly ill and my muscle strength is just gone. Or maybe I've been away training for a triathlon and I really need the game to crank it up or I'll be bored.
Your experience is so reliable I remember holding my 15 year old sister sobbing because the game dubed her overweight. This game had completely unrealistic standards and shamed you when you couldn't fulfill them
I played wii fit for like 3 weeks about 12 years ago, with only one result. I proved to myself that I had about 40 minutes a day that I could spend lifting heavy things or walking to get real results.
This video should be titled “Encouraging any disordered eating habits i may have for 100 days” I hope this video helps remind people that wii fit can be more hurtful than helpful. Glad you made it through and that you wont have to subject yourself to it on the daily anymore!
as a kid i LOVED this game and played it every single day. i was a MENACE and my favorite was running because sometimes puppies would join you on your run
Let’s be real at some point in our lives we have all been traumatized by Wii Fit. Side note; this is also the behaviour many people have when eating disorders start so good on Nintendo for giving a whole generation fear and shame around food and exercise.
i miss when i played this as a young kid and it was just fun to yoga and hula hoop. rediscovered it in high school and it for sure contributed to me having ed habits at the time :/
I feel like it would also punish people with disabilities and it doesn't seem to have the flexibility in the program to adjust to different people's needs and just say their bad
They’re also shaming people with the BMI score. BMI is such a flawed metric by itself and doesn’t take into account a variety of important factors. Scott is clearly not almost obese, as Wii Fit suggests he is. But that score pushed Scott to essentially become underweight to fit into the BMI’s perspective of health. Luckily, he didn’t follow that advice, but it’s still toxic.
The snarky balance board actually says a lot about how we often try to lose wait out of fear of being shamed by others. If anything, credit to the device for mimicking real life.
Shame (and variations of this emotion) is the primary motivating factor of humanity, and how human civilization has advanced this far. Modern attempts to remove shame have caused rapid degradation of human civilization.
The ending song and MV was so well crafted. Did you write that by yourself? Cuz the lyrics and melody plus harmonies were both top freakin notch. This is a genuinely good pop song. Better than most on the radio rn.
Being a homeschooled child with this game, my mom would make me play Wii Fit every day as my “PE class”. I was also overweight due to reasons out of my control, and being told as an 11 year old that I was “obese” every day definitely contributed to my body dysmorphia. Thanks for validating how unfair and judgmental the game felt, I can’t imagine how many kids grew up thinking they were fat and unhealthy because of this 😢
I had an early-elderly family member develop a pseudo-ED/exercise compulsion to Wii Fit when it first came out, because she thought it was the newest health fad. It seems funny, but honestly it was very uncanny to see and a depressing situation. Thought you might be interested though! A lot of your complaints were the same as hers, but she was 💯 genuine.
Wii Fit was not helpful or fun for me long term, but Ring Fit Adventure has legitimately changed my life! It’s as much game as it is fitness program, and it’s accessible, body-neutral, and evidence-based. 10/10 would play fitness video game if it were RFA specifically
Ring Fit is awesome, I was just about to leave a comment about it! Ring Fit is only encouraging, and you can actually see progress and results from long-term play, like getting more toned or being able to do hard excercises easier the more you do them. I wish there were more fitness games like ring fit honestly.
scott serenading us into 2024 with some smooth vocal harmony about his wii experience! how about wii or no wii WE all agree to focus on our physical and mental health goals in a safe and practical way that we enjoy!
Nah bro, it aint just you. We got this whenever it first came out. My mom wouldn't play it after about a week. Me and my sister would play a lot but she was always super angry because it told her that she was too thin and I was always upset because it always said that I was overweight. I already had some trouble with bullies at school and my anxiety shot up. My paranoia was crazy and I cried so incredibly much but I just kept playing because I was hoping that I would lose weight. I stopped eating. Played for a couple years til i was too depressed to get up. People may be like : "oh all teens go through stuff like". I WAS TEN WHEN THIS CAME OUT. Anyways, wii fit sucked.
I remember as an overweight kid seeing that over-exaggerated blimp of a Mii that the Wii fit generated anytime I logged into to “play” absolutely destroyed my sense of self esteem…
From making his own Disney Channel Games to Wii Fit! He’s going to be in the next Olympics for sure! Also, seeing Scott’s kid look up to him like he’s a giant while doing his Wii Fit journey.
actually really appreciated this video, because it points out how mechanical 100-day/year-long daily challenges really feel when you try to do them. lots of us (me included) are simply are not BUILT for it, and it's important to be happy you're trying versus highlighting the days you couldn't do things/life got in the way. thanks for sticking this one out and making a banger song too 😎
I had to track my weight using the balance board back in early 2022 due to a gastric ulcer i got. I was having trouble eating and i lost a lot of weight in a couple weeks because i couldnt eat solid food. The Dr told me it was a good thing because i was a "little overweight" (i stopped going to her after that). The balance board also said that i weighed 4 or 5 lbs more than i did, and it would whine about my weight every time. Point being, the last thing i needed during that time was my scale to dog me for being slightly overweight when i was practically fighting to keep any food down lmao Im fine now btw, if you got acid reflux you gotta keep it in check or it'll f you up
Lol I loved Wii Fit. I don't remember paying to much attention to the BMI, but I definitely obsessed over keeping my Mii thin. Hula hoops and boxing were my THING.
Omg I watched keelvin’s video when it came out so the two of you just venting about your frustrations about wii fit was the funniest thing ever but the way you would both bond over it had me smiling so hard through the whole thing.
Tbh it doesn’t matter if anyone had the same idea as you. Your personality is the reason I watch your videos not whether or not you’re the only one that did it.
This video was great! It’s a good way to document your journey. The video was engaging and as someone who didn’t expect much, you exceeded my expectations. And like you said, your BMI isn’t the most reliable way of tracking your fitness, and you proved that to a T.
I remember playing Wii Fit again after like 6 years of not playing it and it called me morbidly obese. I panicked for a second but it turned out it was because I hadn’t adjusted my height and age yet and had grown more than like 6 inches in the time I didn’t use the Wii.
Man I loved this game as a kid. It was literally sold out everywhere near me when it came out. My dad drove me to 2 Targets and 3 Walmart's until we finally found one. The extra cost of the game and the effort it took to get it made me play constantly so I would get my money's worth lol
As a kid I thought I was fat because the Wii fit told me I was and none of my siblings. It was only till after I stopped Wii fit I realized that I was just a child and all children are like kind of chubby bc all that chubbiness turned into height. I’m crying laughing over the “ what did you do about the hallucinations”
This is kind of a good representation of what it's like to live with an eating disorder, weirdly enough. The badgering, the checking, the anxiety, etc.
i've seen people bring up the fat mii thing so many times over the years but NO ONE ever mentioned it demanding you to explain yourself when you gain a pound???
Also bmi was 'Invented' by a Belgian statistician named Adolph Quetelet who got his numbers by observing Scottish youths so the whole concept has been rigged from the beginning
My mom was working out on the Wii fit board (different game using the board though) when I was a kid and she rolled her angle and sprained it. Was in a soft cast and crutches for like 6 weeks. Wii board ended all of us in very different ways.
Idk whether to laught or cry especiallysince thisnis the first video of the year. I know this video was suppose to be funny but Ive also dealt with weight issues and self loathing because of that. Im slowly getting away but it still hurts my heart to see someone else deal with it. Ill just say this SCOTT, Im proud that you finished, not many would.💜💪🏾🤛🏾
Thank you so much for going through the real time struggle that is passive aggresive body shaming. Even though I never had any issues with my weight, I remember hating the Wii Fit for exactly that reason, and never touched it again. Hope your mental batteries had some time to recharge and I wish you all the best for 2024! Much love
My family was so into the Wii that we had a whole drum set, a steering wheel, a dance pad, the Wii fit board thing, like 8 controllers, SO many games, a microphone, etc. Literally every add on for the Wii, we had it.
as a high school senior suffering from burnout with school, i love that scott’s silly little song about the wii fit hit way too close to home for me :’D … now if you will go excuse me, i shall play the song 1024 more times while crying in my shower

also this is already one of my favorite videos of yours! super funny and it was so sweet that your son was excited about it too :)
Bro my near whole family watched as the game tell them they are obese and told me that I was like anorexic.

I'm not blaming wii fit for giving me an eating disorder as a middle schooler, but it sure helped reinforce it
The fact that's it's entirely based around weight and bmi is so unhealthy.
@@-psilo-9071exactly didn’t teach about nutrition or anything. Then it makes you look bigger than what you are
same. I was obsessed with ensuring I was just below a healthy weight at all times. I wanted to be at the very top of underweight because I assumed a healthy weight or average weight in the game was for "the average American,." which isn't fit. I was always thin growing up but was still terrified of gaining weight or god forbid being chubby. I only ate a tiny bowl of cucumbers for lunch for years during school and growing up I refused to finish my plate, believing that was "fat ugly girl behavior," so my family kept putting less and less food on my plate so I started starving but I still wouldn't finish my plate because I had to stay true to my beliefs. It was awful. Now I eat until I'm full with no shame and my body is bangin', if I do say so myself.
I heard loads of stories about it giving children EDs and Anorexia...
I am now trauma bonded to you….
I have to say, contacting the guy who made a similar video was such a brilliant addition to the video and I genuinely hope it's a trend we see more of in the future. Not just on your channel but across yt. Collaborating and building on each other, instead of competing or racing against each other.
Wholeheartedly agree

Well uuhm, I’m 13 and have done that multiple times (not wii, but just looked over my shoulder to fast😅😢😭)
it’s actually genuinely insightful watching this game create anxiety around exercise & food even in a Fully Grown Man, given that this game was marketed to families (i remember playing it as a kid & i did end up developing an eating disorder i’m still working through) i can’t imagine the kind of impact this had on a lot of kids D:
it had a horrible impact! i have the little voice in the back of my head always telling me im overweight now! :')
I remember in high school there was a special needs student who's parents requested that she do Wii Fit everyday.
Us teens that knew better tried to tell the teacher that was with her that Wii Fit is BS but of course it was out of our hands.
We all felt bad for the student, especially when she would get one of the really mean passive aggressive prompts.
“too busy to work out today, eh scott?” absolutely destroyed me, why is he so passive aggressive 💀💀💀💀
That's the Japanese passive aggressiveness
It’s like watching one man’s descent into madness. Or, ski jump into madness.
you might not have played the game all 100 days but it sure as hell played you
This comment deserves more than 48 likes 😂
You make it sound so believable that the wii fit balance board probably gave hundreds of people eating disorders
There are a ton of comments under this video saying wii fit started their ED :(
👋👋 hi here I am. One of hundreds 😂
That’s what happened to my older sister
wii fit told my elementary school self that I was obese 💀 over a decade later and I still have not achieved a healthy relationship with food- wasn't the sole factor, but definitely did NOT help
It didn’t start my ED but definitely fueled it!
I remember having this. I was underweight so it shows my Mii's arms flutter in the wind. My husband got morbidly obese and it fell like a giant rock behind him. He was so angry. He played a bit for a month here and there and the Wii kept saying he wasn't loosing any weight. I would play a bit more and after a while the Wii Fit would ask where he was. It didn't ask about the other two people it deemed average (two friends who tried it). It kept asking about him.
Oof yeah, I forgot about that feature. I used it a lot as an older teen, and I hadn't remembered that until now
As a kid who grew up chubby, the Wii fit balance board TERRORIZED me. I still carry that mental burden with me today 😂
SAME! The freakin tuba sounds before, "Oh... That's obese." Bane!
Mine came from that plus the response from my family laughing..
@@JayteeStarrI SWEAR my brother stood on the balance board with me while i was weighing myself one day and the tuba sound with the “oh.. that’s obese!” absolutely destroyed me
SAME. Absolutely devastating, that tuba sounds haunts me
Jadyn is the real MVP for listening to Scott’s Wii Fit venting for 100 days
my thoughts exactly hahaha she was so sweet like “uh huh. yeah! that’s so wrong of them”
id say ringfit is a much less stressful experience and i always feel like i get a good sweat out of it. It doesnt weigh you or berate you, just lets you battle monsters and encourages you to keep going
I kept thinking about Ring Fit for the whole video. Seems like it does everything Wii Fit pretends to do, and does it all even better with no judgement and lots of helpful check-ins. The warm-ups and cool-downs, reminders to hydrate, the ability to take a sec for a break anytime you need it without penalty, and your buddy character being pure encouragement- Don't get me wrong, it definitely feels a little silly to be told I'm doing great and cheered for every single squat, but on the other hand... I'm glad they didn't go this judgemental shaming route. Ring Fit is legitimately fun and you can see actual results (I didn't lose weight, but I did get stronger!) in as short as a few weeks or a month. Wii Fit seems... like it's done the exact opposite of what it was marketed to do.
Ringfit is insane, every time I play it (maybe once a year, don't judge) I'm dead afterwards
I’m really interested to see how that’d play out
I've never heard of ring fit
@@TheKatarinaGiselle really? I swear the ads were everywhere to begin witu
Scott is the only RUclipsr I know to record a gaming video and not record the console screen with a capture card and just point his phone camera at the screen
I mean he also uses a projector as a green screen. It fits the brand.
I mean, it’s Wii fit, not just some average video game, his activity is the whole point and just watching the screen would be super boring
@@XOmangoXOyeah using a capture card wouldn't make any sense for this game
@@XOmangoXO I mean, you can show both. That's what most RUclipsrs do for these types of games.
Most likely he just doesn't own a capture card because capturing gameplay footage isn't a regular part of his job.
We're different like that.
Scott's child copying his movements is exactly what I needed today. Thank you, Scott. This video slaps.
Edit: The song slaps even harder, was not expecting it, and it has such a good rhythm.
This man produced a Jessie McCartney banger that came from his soul! This woulda killed in the 2000's imo
I absolutely love the fact that Scott’s videos are just him chilling at home with Jayden and his son. It’s so homey.
Honestly as someone who very recently started trying to take my health more seriously and get active again, I needed this video so badly. Even though it's only been about a week since I started, I've already struggled with feeling guilty over days where I don't exercise or eat things that I "shouldn't." It's so easy to lose sight of what fitness should be about (a positive life change and a celebration of what your body can do) and fall into a trap of shame. Going forward, I'm genuinely going to keep this video in the back of my mind and remember that my personal fitness is about making myself feel good.
You've been doing it for a week, but skipped multiple days? Come on man..
Keep it up friend! And remember its a journey with peaks and valleys, Try not to get lost in the bad days and remember the good days!
@@ylondes9927exercising every single day with no rest days is not a good way to start an exercise plan. Especially for a beginner. It’s a highway to burnout.
@@ylondes9927 hey, starting something new can be pretty hard, you don't need to be mean to them ://
you don't know the reasons they skipped a day or two, it does not affect you and therefore it's none of your business /nm
@@ylondes9927damn, seems like you skipped a chance to practice some empathy here. Come on, man...
I always forget that regular wii fit doesn't have the workout sessions, because I had wii fit plus. on wii fit plus, there were yoga and strength sessions, as well as the option to create a blend of all the games on wii fit based on the goals you had for yourself. you could even set a time limit you wanted to workout for and everything
Oh good call. I was confused why he had no workout plans on his. I've only ever had plus. Looks like Scott needs to try again with plus and compare the results 😆
Loved that! Made exercising fun 🙌
I thought something was off! Thanks for pointing this out!
Yeah, I kept waiting for him to do real workouts. I had to look it up. The regular Wii fit doesn't really have much going on.
Not me realizing that wii fit is the origin of why I feel so much shame about my weight, thank you scott for shedding light on how simple it can be to develop feelings of guilt surrounding weight or even an eating disorder. Unironically cried while watching this.
Get a grip
@@ylondes9927 Um, they literally got one. That's why they had an emotional reaction to it. Be less of a douche.
Me too … my parents bought themselves a Wii fit so they could “lose weight WHILE they played with their kids!!” But really it just ended up becoming another toy for my sister and I so I never really associated it with weight loss, just the silly candle game and the fun running ones. This video made me remember so much more about that board and I’m connecting the dots to the way I understand my body even still today. I had always considered myself relatively untouched by toxic dieting, but now I’m realizing just how prevalent and dangerous it really is…
Crying because of wii fit is the most first world problem ever created.
I'm sorry you had such a terrible experience. I know if it was me this would've shattered my self-esteem. Thank you for putting yourself out there for us all the same.
I have anger issues, so I couldn't handle it. 😂
Oh it did make me feel so bad about myself so I gave up!
Same honestly
I personally don't care about the sassiness.
Scott going through this terrible experience and then making an absolute banger of a song is really what it's all about
Did anyone else notice scotts kid was always crawing in the early clips, then was walking in the later ones 🥺 so cute
31:49 dude this line holy hell yes. The gaslighting yourself into thinking you were overreacting by having a negative experience when people were being incredibly toxic towards you is so freaking real. Yes it's important to self reflect because there are some instances where you are at fault or simply not handing things well, but there are also times when you are mistreated. Recognizing both is important. Recognizing your feelings and where they're stemming from is important. Recognizing if those feelings are ones that deserve your focus and energy or if they're ones to feel then let pass is critical. I'm just dumping my thoughts into the ether at this point but yeah. Trust yourself but don't forget to listen to reason and the perspective of others without discrediting your own experience.
So well said
Wii Fit was really out here gaslighting us about our fitness.. as an insecure child I played this a lot thinking it would actually do something for me, but the way it sutbly insult you all the time didn't help, surprisingly..
27 now and playing Ring Fit regularly and, oh man, they really really improved the workout experience since the Wii Fit days
would you say ring fit is actually helpful? i keep hearing about it but having wii fit+ as a kid/teen kind of ruined my relationship to health and exercise so i haven’t tried it yet
@@s.o.m3241 Ring Fit is better in just about every way compared to Wii Fit. It actively praises you for what you're doing right, as opposed to subtly shaming you for what you're not doing right. You can choose how easy or how hard the game is on a scale of 1 to 30 respectively. The exercises properly engage your body much more rigorously. And it plays like a light RPG with your choices in exercises and enemy targeting actually kinda mattering. Oh, and all the collectibles in the game are based on exercise apparel and healthy foods, so it passively encourages healthy habits.
@@s.o.m3241 as someone already replied, Ring Fit does about everything better than Wii Fit. Worth mentioning that while Ring Fit asks for weight and age and height, they never mention BMI or weight gain or weight loss (they just use it to estimate calories which I have heard is always a bit less than what you actually burn from a workout). Ring (which is a character in-game, like how the balance board was made a character) is encouraging and fun and their only input is a few tips to perform better (to deal more damage to enemies) and to count down repetitions, which is especially useful for when you can't see the screen.
For the first time in my life I kind of look forward to exercise because progressing through levels and following a story have always been a big motivator for me personally.
And the writing can be surprisingly funny at times.
@@s.o.m3241 Chiming in to say that Ring Fit is what Wii Fit was supposed to be. All the talk of teaching healthy habits and encouraging you keep them is actually there in Ring Fit. The guidance character is purely positive, not a single degrading word or shaming comment. And it actively encourages you to hydrate and stretch and such, too. Also checks in with you when you've been playing for awhile to make sure you're okay to keep going, especially if you start to struggle with the exercises suddenly. And even if you're away for awhile, the game's biggest concern is making sure the intensity/difficulty you had set before is going to still be okay now. Add to that the RPG game theming with enemies to beat, levels to explore, and challenges to clear- and it's honestly fun, even playing it day after day. And hey, if the RPG elements aren't your thing, there's a workout mode you can use instead. It's honestly great.
Man, this makes me really want to see you have a go at 100 days of ring fit, that game is so much more supportive and fun to play! Would be curious to see the comparison
This
Yes! Ring Fit Adventure improved SO MUCH about the Nintendo Fitness scene and doesn't make you feel degraded at every waking moment!
This! Ring fit is Wii fits cooler, better and nicer younger brother.
My fiancee owns it but I’ve not played yet. I’ve been legit worried that it’ll be the same as Wii fit! Lol
@@SuperKawaiiCupcakes I promise it's not. You're in a progressive war with a gym-bro demon trying to subjugate the world. It's up to you and your Ring to humble him. That's the plot
I’d genuinely recommend a video like this for Ring Fit Adventure. I played it every day for like 200+ days back in 2020 and it really changed my life for the better. I got a lot of decent cardio and even some basic strength training while I was locked inside, and I’d love to see others cover it!
There is a video like that by a youtuber called yakkocmn, where he talks about how much he likes ring fit adventure. I might end up picking it up
@@emmanuel8538 yeah, I watched that video, it’s great!
Ring Fit Adventure was a great first step to get me more into fitness, I definitely recommend it if you’re able to get into playing it every day. The only real issue is that it’s kind of easy to fall out of the game and lose motivation to keep playing. But if you can maintain that motivation, it can do a lot of good!
If a game EVER asked me, "Did a little baby trip you up, during that one?" I would genuinely be so terrified.
Also a meditating seated sonic becoming so minorly scared by the Wii Fit Meditation game = so choice
As someone with a history of eating disorders (maybe influenced by having wii fit as too young of a child, who knows) this video did such a great job at poking fun of stuff like this without becoming triggering, thank you for that!!
TRULY it was very cathartic to laugh about this kinda shit
Agreed! To hear someone’s thoughts about how messed up the machine is for disrespecting them is so much relief because as a child I took that and was like “oh I’m a horrible person”. Wherever thought having the AÍ be a bit sassy to adolescent girls was not the best idea lol
I hate to be a buzzkill but this is a scarily accurate representation of how eating disorders start
Yeah Wii Fit is honestly more concerning than I expected (I was a Playstation kid so never experienced this)
yup! as someone who has an ED, i am verrry glad i managed to avoid wii fit
My ED started because of wii fit and encouraged it so yeah 100%
yup, my ED started because of wii fit 🥴
Mine started with getting Wii Fit. I lived on that thing and gaining any amount of weight would absolutely crush me.
My surface-level memories of Wii Fit are fun, but I think a lot of my body image issues today stem from this game. As a teenager, I always hovered around the upper end of “normal” BMI-wise, so the first time it told me I was overweight (and played that awful tuba sound that mocks you) I was shattered. I felt like a worthless, disgusting failure and instead of being motivated to work out, I just started eating the bare minimum all the time. My mom sat me down and explained how BMI doesn’t take into account weight distribution, so there was an important difference between my weight spread over a stick figure like the Mii and my own body (with muscular thighs, a D cup, and height stunted by anti-anxiety meds they put me on at 11). I’m almost 30 now and unfortunately still picture this game in my head when I weigh myself, hearing that tuba sound laughing at me. Even with a better understanding of weight and metabolism, I still have a horribly strong tie between my weight and my self-worth. 😔
i feel like it’s a pretty accurate representation of how japan views weight, but that could be an entire video in and of itself
this is very relatable. i haven’t weighed myself in years, threw my scales out and refuse to have them in the house. now i try and trust my body when it tells me what it needs, and accommodate however that looks. it’s a hard road, starting from that place 😭💛
I'm sorry that happened to you and fuck this game!
I'm so sorry you had that experience. I'm 40 and for the last 5 years I've been a dog walker. I walked at least 2 hours per day and ate decent. (Oatmeal breakfast, healthy choice dinners and occasional take out.) Guess how much weight I've lost??? I'm 5'6 and I've stayed 200lbs this whole time. Last year, I was like 'fcuk it all' and stopped caring about my weight. ❤ I hope you too one day will realize your weight doesn't define you. You are more than just a number on a broken machine.
I feel the exact same when I weigh myself, this game is in the back of my head. I was a kid then. It’s pretty messed up
2 years ago I did do wii fit every day and I set up a rotine that was 30 mins alternating yoga and strength exercise. It was great cause otherwise I would just spend those 30 minutes sitting at my computer, but I always played with it muted and skipped through whatever the board had to say because it was useless. I already knew that BMI is trash but when the board told me I lost 15 lbs in a day it was all I needed to know that I couldn't believe a thing it told me.
It's actually really interesting seeing the perspective of someone of an average body weight play the game. I remember I picked up Wii Fit both as a bit of nostalgia and to encourage myself to start healthier habits when I was underweight, with the goal to *gain* weight. I remember the game being a lot more gentle towards me than seen here. Don't get me wrong, it did have its snark and I got called lazy a good share of times, but I never felt like it outright shamed me for it. I knew the game wasn't doing much for me for fitness in the direct sense, but I kept on picking up the game because it encouraged me to push a little further and gave me a fun way to keep track of my progress. While I slowly started to fade off of the game as I gained weight, I had a pretty positive experience with it.
It's really unfortunate that it takes a complete 180 whenever someone is trying to lose weight and really goes to show the standards we have set. We perceive being "overweight" as not only unhealthy, but as a moral wrongdoing. You mentioned how the game is unable to account for outside circumstances like slipping up or a baby walking on the balance board, but it always just blames the player for whatever happened. Health is measured on an arbitrary BMI scale and shames you for not fitting neatly onto the scale. It especially sucks because as I mentioned, I positively benefit from the game in my attempts to gain weight, and they know how to use positive reinforcement for underweight people (at least from my admittedly faulty memory). So why does that have to change for people "overweight?"
The ring-based fitness game (I forget the title) that came out during the pandemic was a much more positive experience than this seems to have been. I played that so much that I actually messed up my ankles and had to stop. I loved running through all of the crazy landscapes, and I just about lost my crap when I got access to the archery. It wasn't even about fitness pretty quickly, it was just about getting to pretend I was running around outside and shooting monsters with a bow. It did get judgy if you didn't play for a while, but I only know that because my husband wasn't as into it as I was.
Anyway, so you should do that one for 100 days.
It's called Ring Fit Adventure! I have it and love it as well! It's hard to get back into after you've been away for a while, but I never found it to be judgy about it. It just asks if you're sure you'll be able to continue with the same intensity as before, gives you the option to turn it up or down before you even start playing. Seems perfectly logical to me. Maybe I've been away because I was morbidly ill and my muscle strength is just gone. Or maybe I've been away training for a triathlon and I really need the game to crank it up or I'll be bored.
Scott knocking over his son’s toy and then his son sabotaging him is peak comedy
Your experience is so reliable I remember holding my 15 year old sister sobbing because the game dubed her overweight. This game had completely unrealistic standards and shamed you when you couldn't fulfill them
that just unlocked a memory… i definitely did the same thing when i was 12
This is why I prefer RingFit. Actual exercises, cute artstyle, and NO BODYSHAMING. Good game that actually motivates you to work out
I played wii fit for like 3 weeks about 12 years ago, with only one result. I proved to myself that I had about 40 minutes a day that I could spend lifting heavy things or walking to get real results.
Scott turning into a gaming channel is exactly what i needed in 2024
This is honestly an oddly good depiction of eating/weight disorders and how they may start. Glad you didn't suffer too much mental shit c:
This video should be titled “Encouraging any disordered eating habits i may have for 100 days”
I hope this video helps remind people that wii fit can be more hurtful than helpful. Glad you made it through and that you wont have to subject yourself to it on the daily anymore!
"master bait" was fantastic
as a kid i LOVED this game and played it every single day. i was a MENACE and my favorite was running because sometimes puppies would join you on your run
Let’s be real at some point in our lives we have all been traumatized by Wii Fit.
Side note; this is also the behaviour many people have when eating disorders start so good on Nintendo for giving a whole generation fear and shame around food and exercise.
I bet destroying the Wii fit balance board would be very healing and therapeutic.
i miss when i played this as a young kid and it was just fun to yoga and hula hoop. rediscovered it in high school and it for sure contributed to me having ed habits at the time :/
I stopped weighing myself on it and just went straight to the games I wanted to play, hoola hoop, the flying chicken game and the obstacle race.
I feel like it would also punish people with disabilities and it doesn't seem to have the flexibility in the program to adjust to different people's needs and just say their bad
They’re also shaming people with the BMI score. BMI is such a flawed metric by itself and doesn’t take into account a variety of important factors. Scott is clearly not almost obese, as Wii Fit suggests he is.
But that score pushed Scott to essentially become underweight to fit into the BMI’s perspective of health. Luckily, he didn’t follow that advice, but it’s still toxic.
The snarky balance board actually says a lot about how we often try to lose wait out of fear of being shamed by others. If anything, credit to the device for mimicking real life.
Lose wait 🤣🤣

I would unironically watch a video where you chronicle your process making a song with Wii Music
Scott vs The Balance Board is my new favourite rivalry
The ending song and MV was so well crafted. Did you write that by yourself? Cuz the lyrics and melody plus harmonies were both top freakin notch. This is a genuinely good pop song. Better than most on the radio rn.
Being a homeschooled child with this game, my mom would make me play Wii Fit every day as my “PE class”. I was also overweight due to reasons out of my control, and being told as an 11 year old that I was “obese” every day definitely contributed to my body dysmorphia. Thanks for validating how unfair and judgmental the game felt, I can’t imagine how many kids grew up thinking they were fat and unhealthy because of this 😢
This is just an allegory for getting an ED, the depression the obsession with numbers the thinking about what you eat constantly.
I had an early-elderly family member develop a pseudo-ED/exercise compulsion to Wii Fit when it first came out, because she thought it was the newest health fad. It seems funny, but honestly it was very uncanny to see and a depressing situation.
Thought you might be interested though! A lot of your complaints were the same as hers, but she was 💯 genuine.
This video convinced me to eat dinner and ended with me dancing with a bologna sandwich in hand thanks scott
"it's master bait"
just walked yourself right into that one, huh?
Wii Fit was not helpful or fun for me long term, but Ring Fit Adventure has legitimately changed my life! It’s as much game as it is fitness program, and it’s accessible, body-neutral, and evidence-based. 10/10 would play fitness video game if it were RFA specifically
Ring Fit is awesome, I was just about to leave a comment about it! Ring Fit is only encouraging, and you can actually see progress and results from long-term play, like getting more toned or being able to do hard excercises easier the more you do them. I wish there were more fitness games like ring fit honestly.
I’m glad you’re finally getting back into making music again Scott. You make some awesome songs.
Honestly that song was pretty fire❤
As a relatively new subscriber (subbed in 2023 I think), the fact that Scott “does music” blows my mind. I had zero clue until recently.
scott serenading us into 2024 with some smooth vocal harmony about his wii experience! how about wii or no wii WE all agree to focus on our physical and mental health goals in a safe and practical way that we enjoy!

Song is fire!
@@packingbacon scott going hard for the new year
Gotta appreciate how dedicated Scott is to still make this video that was clearly difficult emotionally
Bro the song at the end…😭 that was absolutely incredible and so unexpected (first time watcher)
Nah bro, it aint just you. We got this whenever it first came out. My mom wouldn't play it after about a week. Me and my sister would play a lot but she was always super angry because it told her that she was too thin and I was always upset because it always said that I was overweight. I already had some trouble with bullies at school and my anxiety shot up. My paranoia was crazy and I cried so incredibly much but I just kept playing because I was hoping that I would lose weight. I stopped eating. Played for a couple years til i was too depressed to get up. People may be like : "oh all teens go through stuff like". I WAS TEN WHEN THIS CAME OUT. Anyways, wii fit sucked.
I remember as an overweight kid seeing that over-exaggerated blimp of a Mii that the Wii fit generated anytime I logged into to “play” absolutely destroyed my sense of self esteem…
From making his own Disney Channel Games to Wii Fit! He’s going to be in the next Olympics for sure!
Also, seeing Scott’s kid look up to him like he’s a giant while doing his Wii Fit journey.
actually really appreciated this video, because it points out how mechanical 100-day/year-long daily challenges really feel when you try to do them. lots of us (me included) are simply are not BUILT for it, and it's important to be happy you're trying versus highlighting the days you couldn't do things/life got in the way. thanks for sticking this one out and making a banger song too 😎
I didn’t realize how much I missed the Scott “ends every video with a song” era, fantastic to be back
I just finished watching keelvin go insane doing this for 90 days... I'm curious to see what an extra 10 days does.
First, we got Drew trying the Tom Brady Diet for 1 month. Now, we got Scott playing Wii Fit for 100 days. The complete package.
Now we need someone that plays Ring Fit for 200 days.
Can't believe Scott played Wii Fit for 100 days as a set up for a Wii Music music video
The candle game actually is the scariest game I've ever played. I'm glad I'm not the only one freaked out by it lol
that songs an absolute banger. You're perfect, Scott. Don't let any shady figure or plastic board tell you otherwise
Wii Fit more like just you fit scott haha im hilarious
Wow so funny

You are the funniest person alive
no seriously i pissed myself, i cant stop pissing and laughing, please help
I had to track my weight using the balance board back in early 2022 due to a gastric ulcer i got. I was having trouble eating and i lost a lot of weight in a couple weeks because i couldnt eat solid food. The Dr told me it was a good thing because i was a "little overweight" (i stopped going to her after that). The balance board also said that i weighed 4 or 5 lbs more than i did, and it would whine about my weight every time.
Point being, the last thing i needed during that time was my scale to dog me for being slightly overweight when i was practically fighting to keep any food down lmao
Im fine now btw, if you got acid reflux you gotta keep it in check or it'll f you up
That ending was beautiful Scott! The song slaps way harder then it has any right to and the video was pure art! 😂
Lol I loved Wii Fit. I don't remember paying to much attention to the BMI, but I definitely obsessed over keeping my Mii thin. Hula hoops and boxing were my THING.
“You’re in trouble. Go to time out.” I don’t know why that made me laugh.
"where'd that 2 pound energy go?!" hilarious
wii music was genuinely such a fun outlet for me as a kid. i felt so cool being able to keep rhythm and play instruments in a silly way
Just commenting to say that I'm genuinely impressed by your songwriting ability sometimes. You may need a ScottIsSinging channel one day soon.
One of the most entertaining youtube videos in awhile. Just dance is actually a killer workout and much more fun, plus you can play with friends
The baby in his bouncy in the back is just the cutest thing ever! ❤
Omg I watched keelvin’s video when it came out so the two of you just venting about your frustrations about wii fit was the funniest thing ever but the way you would both bond over it had me smiling so hard through the whole thing.
Tbh it doesn’t matter if anyone had the same idea as you. Your personality is the reason I watch your videos not whether or not you’re the only one that did it.
This video was great! It’s a good way to document your journey. The video was engaging and as someone who didn’t expect much, you exceeded my expectations. And like you said, your BMI isn’t the most reliable way of tracking your fitness, and you proved that to a T.
18:44 the character tripping gave me a good laugh LOL. This was an amazing video! 😂
I remember playing Wii Fit again after like 6 years of not playing it and it called me morbidly obese. I panicked for a second but it turned out it was because I hadn’t adjusted my height and age yet and had grown more than like 6 inches in the time I didn’t use the Wii.
Man I loved this game as a kid. It was literally sold out everywhere near me when it came out. My dad drove me to 2 Targets and 3 Walmart's until we finally found one. The extra cost of the game and the effort it took to get it made me play constantly so I would get my money's worth lol
As a kid I thought I was fat because the Wii fit told me I was and none of my siblings. It was only till after I stopped Wii fit I realized that I was just a child and all children are like kind of chubby bc all that chubbiness turned into height. I’m crying laughing over the “ what did you do about the hallucinations”
This is kind of a good representation of what it's like to live with an eating disorder, weirdly enough. The badgering, the checking, the anxiety, etc.
I have a feeling the balance board and the Duolingo owl are related.
i've seen people bring up the fat mii thing so many times over the years but NO ONE ever mentioned it demanding you to explain yourself when you gain a pound???
Bro forreal, BMI is crazy. It also calculates that I should be in the 150s and I would be legit on my death bed if I were that thin.
Also bmi was 'Invented' by a Belgian statistician named Adolph Quetelet who got his numbers by observing Scottish youths so the whole concept has been rigged from the beginning
Yeah it's weird how all weight is treated the same
My mom used to play this game all the time, I myself played it and I remember so many of the mini games, this game is honestly so nostalgic to me
My mom was working out on the Wii fit board (different game using the board though) when I was a kid and she rolled her angle and sprained it. Was in a soft cast and crutches for like 6 weeks. Wii board ended all of us in very different ways.
Idk whether to laught or cry especiallysince thisnis the first video of the year. I know this video was suppose to be funny but Ive also dealt with weight issues and self loathing because of that. Im slowly getting away but it still hurts my heart to see someone else deal with it. Ill just say this SCOTT, Im proud that you finished, not many would.💜💪🏾🤛🏾
that fricking game with the candle is so damn scary and I’m so glad someone pointed it out
Thank you so much for going through the real time struggle that is passive aggresive body shaming. Even though I never had any issues with my weight, I remember hating the Wii Fit for exactly that reason, and never touched it again.
Hope your mental batteries had some time to recharge and I wish you all the best for 2024! Much love
As someone who used to play Wii Fit in my 20s, I truly appreciate this video. I laughed and cried.
My family was so into the Wii that we had a whole drum set, a steering wheel, a dance pad, the Wii fit board thing, like 8 controllers, SO many games, a microphone, etc. Literally every add on for the Wii, we had it.
as a high school senior suffering from burnout with school, i love that scott’s silly little song about the wii fit hit way too close to home for me :’D
… now if you will go excuse me, i shall play the song 1024 more times while crying in my shower
