@@Maryam-ev9cf exactly. She responded as though they were insulting her character, when they made it very clear that they were talking about the literal denotation
Obesity is a medical term. It’s like saying you don’t have diabetes just because you “feel” fine. Just because you don’t “feel” obese, doesn’t mean you aren’t.
I don't "feel" like an epileptic. I feel fine after a seizure and I don't even remember them. Yes, I've been diagnosed with brain scans, but I don't identify as epileptic.
Telling a dangerously overweight person not to lose weight because they're "beautiful" is like telling an alcoholic not to stop drinking because they're "fun".
It's okay to be beautiful, unfortunately health and beauty is not the same thing. Just because they're beautiful doesn't mean they don’t need to lose weight and be healthy.
@@blazenfatei think it went over your head. They turned the original comment into the start of a conversation you would have with a person who has the same same pov as the original commenter.

I believe it was a comparison method, like she can do hikes and long walks without being out of breath, but when going with her thinner friends, they do. Overall, it's not the definition, but sometimes reality is body shape doesn't equivate to physically able.
the red dress lady is a tough love kinda lady. the way she spoke to the woman who said had suicidal thoughts really made me emotional, it was really beautiful.
No it’s just delusions and lack of accountability like lady it’s not a matter of consideration the definition of obese is to be 100 pounds or more overweight and you clearly are
The modern movement that tries to convince society that every body type is healthy, is so dangerous; basic self love is absolutely compatible with knowing that you're currently in an unhealthy condition that has to be changed
me too! and I was underweight. Weightlifting and eating more (healthily) while learning nutrition was a huge factor in my eating disorder recovery and helped me get off antidepressants.
no,fr there’s so many obese people now all over the world so they don’t think anything is wrong with them since there’s so many people who look just like them🙂↔️
Come to our elementary school in Seattle. >40% of the kids, and >90% of the teachers are obese. School lunch is where it all started. Your favorite politicians love you so much.
WTF are people on when they start saying it's expensive to eat healthy???? healthy doesn't have to be fresh organic vegetables; you can have a heaping bowlful of pasta with olive oil and tomato sauce and it's still gonna be wildly cheaper and healthier than washing down tubs of fried chicken and cheeseburgers with coke. it's called basic math and common sense.
Portion control is free. Walking is free. You don't need to completely change your diet and get a gym membership to lose weight. I'm so tired of these misconceptions around weight loss. It doesn't need to be expensive or hard.
Yep. My dad was diagnosed with T2 diabetes and has practically reversed it by eating less, dietary changes and brisk walking daily. He's lost a ton of weight. Many people just can't be bothered to put in the effort.
Eatings unhealthier isn’t CHEAPER… it’s just EASIER. A mcdonalds meal is like $10. For one single meal. I can spee $10 on ingredients and get like 7 meals out of it.
@@stamourbeaulieu $1 pack of buns, $6 back of ground beef, $2 tomato sauce, $3 spices. a little over 10 but enjoy Sloopy Joes that’ll last you an entire week. Not just one “fast” meal. Or a box of Pasta for $5, sauce for $2. That’s $7 total. Spaghetti for at least a couple days.

@@stamourbeaulieulet's say you spend $10 a day. That's $70 a week. Spend $20 on rice, assuming you have water. Get a party pack of chicken thighs or legs for $15-$20. Ground beef in bulk is $10. Broccoli and other veggies are $5 in total tops for a week. Make a meal plan for the week and section it off. You still have $20-$25 leftover.
Body positivy is a misunderstood topic and is horrible to see how people who doesn't belong to the movement misrepresents the main purpose of it. The movement was created with the objective to change our perspective about our bodies, entitled people to love themselves no matter how you look because if you are overweight and you decided to change it from the perspective of self-hatred you are going to end up with a eating disorder or worse. For us in the movement, it is essential that the change comes from a place of love where you are grateful for having a body that moves you, because your limbs are healthy, because your body allows you to experience the world around you and only then you are gonna be able to make better decisions and achieve the best version of yourself. For some the goal will be to lose weight, others will have the goal of just moving more and exercising more, others will just want to look aesthetically better, etc. and all of these representations are valid. If you can´t love yourself, you will ended up taking the worst decisions about losing weight and you will put your life at risk by submitting yourself to strict diets, you will buy “miracle” drugs that promise to make you lose weight in 3 months and you are not even sure what they contain or you will stop eating and maybe you will lose weight but it will be at the expense of your health.
I hate that I read all of this. But it sounds like you’re talking about mental health issues. But the mainstream body positivity community does promote being wider than all outside the people who are big should attempt to make the change at their own pace cause it’s selfish to your friends and family who care for you for us to see you down bad
"When you see me, do you think I'm obese?" Yes. I am a person who's also medically obese, and I do believe you're obese. Just to clarify...that says nothing about who you are as a person, but merely answers the question asked.
I’d disagree on your last sentence, it does say something about who they are as a person… For example somebody that’s big and muscular, u know they work out a lot, have dedication, etc. Apply that to obese people, sure it’s not fair for everything gene wise but that doesn’t stop people from judging u in public
ong being obese just refers to your BMI and other factors, not how you look. If you think about it, bodybuilders on steroids that are massive are also technically obese. it's just a medical term.
@@AcesMR6Obese does not always equal unhealthy though. I think that was the point OP was making. The older fit woman said she is clinically obese. Someone who is fit and muscular could still be classed as obese because the BMI index is highly flawed.
This exactly! People have a tendency to be offended when someone is categorized as obese. Being obese doesn't, by default mean you are a bad person. It just means you are obese. This is coming from a former obese person. People have lost common sense.
Not trying too sound harsh but the woman saying she’s not obese is deluded. If at that body weight she’s not skinny, lean, muscular or a bit fluffy there’s only a few more categories she could be
10:07 As a person that was formally plus size, I can say that weight blindness is real…being able to breathe and walk are basic human functions that you can do without difficulty and still be dying. Being obese is no joke…it’s a silent killer. When you get down to a healthy weight you can really tell the difference that your normal was not normal.
THIS. I struggle with fluctuating weight and I‘m currently the heaviest I‘ve ever been (US size 12) and I can absolutely feel my knees now every time I walk my dog compared to when I weighed much less.
Far doesn't mean you can't have stamina or increased lung capacity. When your bigger, you body has to do more work. A skinny unfit person's body doesn't nearly work as hard as a far parson.
As an obese person, other obese people make hella excuses. I’m a stay at home mom, I have a baby, I’m tired of being big. I used to make all those excuses too, but we have to care for ourselves and be honest. I’m only 19 and I have high blood pressure. For the longest time I lied to myself just so I could stay comfortable. One day I just sat down with myself and realized, although life is hard and there are many challenges, I want to live for my son. I’ve been doing better now. I’ve lost almost 20lbs and I’ve started going to the gym. I’m looking forward to see more results and be a healthier version of me. I suggest other people try. I know it’s hard, but take care of yourself, you have people that care about you.
Great job. And, if you don’t have energy for the gym keep in mind there are home workouts too:)! I used to make those excuses too then decided I wanted to lose the weight!
I don't know you but I just want to say I'm proud of you 😊 your child is seeing their mom doing her best to be her best. That's an amazing thing to see as a kid.
from a fellow teen parent, stay strong! you are doing incredible from what this comment tells me and i know firsthand how insanely hard it can be so the fact you are doing well and found the bandwith to seek improvement in your personal life is really awesome
I don't understand why people think you have to eat, gluten-free, 1000% organic expensive stuff to be healthier. Most people are obese because they eat too much. If they ate less food on a diet they would save money, being obese is expensive.
also u can get frozen veggies. shiiet thats what i do! they are mad cheap! i dont get a bunch of separate veggies and cut em up. also, with fruit ill have a bag of one type of fruit rather than getting a few different kind. I like to get cuties and then maybe the next time i go shopping ill get a bag of grapefruits. :}
Considering gluten comes from filler “foods” yes you should stop eating gluten to be healthy… Eating gluten free isn’t hard either… You simply quit eating stuff made out of most grains… Grains are not pertinent to our diet… They can mess around with the food pyramid all they want but people do not NEED to eat grains.
That’s so real!! Im thin and really fit and I eat like straight garbage LOL. It’s all about how much you’re eating. Theyre all talking about cutting out processed foods and pop and stuff, like you can have that stuff whenever you want it, it’s about how much you have! If you do cardio everyday and stop eating when your full, there’s really no limit to what you can and can’t have
those big girls get so triggered. omg i used to be like that 😐 now that i lost weight i’ve noticed how insecure you rlly get. it really affects your brain. it’s not about looks. it literally affects so much.
Same I use to feel any words were a direct criticism to my person , I was so ashamed I couldn't even look down , being a healthy weight is a game changer in terms of overall happiness and self love
I used to be 290 lbs and am now 210 lbs (Still losing weight). I'm recovering from PP and hit 197 lbs before pregnancy but had to start again I got up to 240 lbs from pregnancy. I remember after I broke 200 lbs I wasn't picking fights with my partner, or feeling insecure about my body. My relationship with myself and my SO was thriving and I finally started being able to love deeply like I wanted. I felt alive, because I had pride in myself for working so hard. The insecurity is insane and a demon when you're overweight. These people are straight up capping if they say they don't feel insecure. They wouldn't get triggered from the word obese if they were healed.
It was a constant battle between those who didn't want to offend and those who were very easily offended. And those characters kept changing throughout the video. Very accurate portrait of what our society currently is like.
25:11 the truth will hurt ... But mens brains are wired to be attracted to healthy fit women's bodies... Might not be fair but the best personality in in the world cannot overcome mens biological wirering
Thank you for letting us know but this was never about you and what you are attracted to. So why do you answer a question nobody asked? 🤔@@tzvigrossman1872
@@tzvigrossman1872and although they said attractiveness shouldnt be defined by men, even so, women view fit girls as their role models and who they want to become. ive never heard anyone said they wanna look like lizzo. so saying that fit girls are more attractive not just by men standards but by everyone is so valid. they just dont want to accept that fact😭
Notice how most of the girls who are fit have better energy levels and seem more upbeat overall? Working out 100% helps with mental health and mood boosters.
100% I agree! But people shouldn't be so harsh to judge others if they're not able to get there (yet). Circumstances, environment, mental state to begin with are all factors. Empathy and kindness would be a lot more helpful than just bully overweight people
opposite effect for me. Been in the gym for over a decade now and my body dysphoria is worse now than before I started and my confidence is much lower and I feel worse about myself mentally, lol
Hearing all the excuses from the ladies that are bigger.. That used to be me and honestly, its so depressing to see them use the same excuses I did. -120 pounds later, my whole perspective is different.
Congratulations, you earned your new body! Okay, if you used to think like them and you understand their logic (even though you don't agree with them now), what would you tell them to help them see the world the way that you now see it and help them change their behaviors?
The same excuse is used by poor people that feel like they can’t get out of their poverty. Decisions and drastic life changes need to be made. Being poor is a choice.
I noticed that too her lung capacity went up to a full boil when she started talking. And yet she said she can hike up mountains and not go out of breath I don't believe it.
I noticed it as soon as she started talking. She was most likely nervous, she’s also probably talking in front of people and the camera. Which is pretty nerve wrecking.. not to mention it’s an emotionally heavy subject.
The lady in the red dress is so transparent and honest ❤ if only more people could be like that vs trying to find a loophole or excuse for their poor choices.

"Addiction is the disease that tells your brain that the problem is the solution" 👏👏👏 That's a huge one! and one that is relevant today more than ever for so many people. The escape that addiction offers us is ultimately the biggest source of misery. and mindfulness/meditation - learning the art of non-reaction - is a powerful tool to fix our addicted selves!
90% agree but caveat from a professional standpoint- it depends a *little* bit on the person. For example, if an addicted person is also experiencing life circumstances that mean they're in a constant state of mental trauma or fight/flight, and have the freeze response, meditation can actually exacerbate the problem bc they're further removing themselves from their somatic processing. Again, it's very person specific, and there's not really a one size fits all solution to addiction, and meditation is incredibly helpful for many people experiencing it- it's just rarely the only solution and if theyre in a clinical setting, a lot of different factors need to be evaluated before recommending it(or any other treatment/coping skill)
That was my issue, I kept saying I didn't have time up until I got fed up with my life and made the time. First year I lost over 100lbs just from making small life changes.
“Addiction is your brain telling you the problem is the solution”. I had to pause this video because as someone who’s in and out of recovery that’s a very powerful way to describe the cognitive dissonance I, and other addicts feel. Thank you
@@andy2641 Yeah I agree... it sound clever, but are... let's say food addicts really thinking that if they eat more food then they won't want be addicted any more? Do alcoholics think that drinking more booze will end their addiction to it?

This made me cry, struggling with my weight since I started puberty and not being diagnosed with PCOS in my 30s it all started to make sense for me. When she said you have to love on that little girl 😢. I do think being obese is a choice it’s hard but you have to tell ppl you are struggling, and it’s okay.
Walk 10k steps around the streets for free and do intermittent fasting for free. When you buy fast food just control your portions!!! Buy a burger and a liter of water. Balance ppl balance.
That's what they don't understand! You can literally lose weight eating only McDonalds IF YOU CONTROL YOUR PORTIONS. Of course a McDonalds diet isn't ideal, but its possible. Portion control is literally the one thing everyone can do whether they have money or not.
@@TheColerain11 That's the education piece that's lacking, and i can't blame them for that. I wish it were mandatory in high school to learn about thermodynamics in the body and at least learn nutritional basics so people can make wise decisions as adults.
Burgers are not that bad by themselves if you think about it and are not eating them every day but just skip the soda and fries that’s what makes the meal into the thousands of calories
When I’ve been depressed, like actually depressed, not sad or disappointed, I choose healthy food to improve. Plus, I’m so numb when I’m depressed, I can’t taste food anyway, so I don’t understand why someone would eat unhealthy when it doesn’t even create a dopamine hit. lol
My mom died a few years back and I was severely depressed. I just laid down and did nothing. I’m not kidding, just laying down for days. My bf at the time was so helpful. At first he’d just come be with me, and eventually he’d force me to go to the gym for an hour. It’s the main thing that helped my depression at the time, getting out and moving. I didn’t want to, but it did help a ton.
10:18 "I have friends who are skinnier than me, we go on walks and they're losing their breaths" GIRL just because they do not have the stamina does not mean that a person is obese 😭😭😭 there are lots of reasons why a person could be out of breath when walking maybe that person is anemic, does not have enough sleep, respiratory condition, etc. Also, BMI parameters are based on your height and weight and it is to determine whether your weight is in healthy proportion with your height. It is just based on your anthropometric measurements and not your capabilities when you are in that weight.
Yeah. And not being fit and not having muscle also leads to a lot of problems later in life, so that also is bad, but a different problem! You lose weight by eating less, you build muscle by exercising, too many people think those two are one and the same...
i’m literally 115 lbs and get out of breath on hikes 😭 idk why she used that as an example when everyone has different conditions when it comes to being active
To me it kind of sounds like she equates the term "obese" with "fit", which would explain her definition of obese. Because you can be not obese and also not be fit and vice versa. Obese is a word to describe the ratio of your height and your weight, but has also been used as a slur so i think that might be why some of the women calles it "medically obese" to put the emphasis on the ratio and away from the slur.
I know I might get boo’d…but fit is more attractive. Screw men, PEOPLE (including other women) treat you way better. It may not be fair, it sucks…but it’s true. Clothing fits better. You can participate in more social activities. Overall you’re just more attractive in society.
Your looks are a currency. We can be woke all day long and individuals might treat you a special way as a means of their own wokeness token, but in general your life will be better if you look better 🤷♀️
They way you see and treat yourself, society often reflects back. Those girls love themselves and take care of themselves, and the universe responds in kind.
I'm a single dad, working full time and go to school currently and I still prepare every single meal my child and I eat. It's about discipline and doing what you're supposed to do whether you feel like it or not. everyone has the ability to be disciplined but very very few choose to.
I think people also feel entitled to eat like insanely delicious food because their palate has been so distorted by fast, convenient food, so they don't want to eat simple dishes. Like I cook every meal I eat and often it's pretty boring (still tasty, but not crafted by food scientists to be hyper-palatable) but that also means it doesn't take that much time to cook.
@@marenomorgan this is very true. That's why my son and I only eat real food. Meat fruit and veggies. So I don't have to worry about him or myself becoming addicted to that chemical filled food like product that's not even real food
They just lazy that’s about it your telling me I don’t have time but you sit on your phone or tv or doing nothing for 1hr a day fam just go do what your saying that you don’t have time to do
@@hearxtcartiit's is though. You have a chance to get help and solve that issue. Unless you physically/medically can't.. you always can. Only you can help yourself so it is your fault either its from a reasonable thing or just purely being lazy. I was depressed and was gaining weight but regardless its my fault I was gaining weight. no one was tying me to a bed, no one was shoving food in my mouth but ME. Fault=/=reason.
I did make a comment, about my struggle with losing weight after my child, but I have never struggled with weight until now, after having my child. It’s extremely discouraging to put the work in for these last 2 years and only having seen I lost 10 pounds, my goal is I would like to lose 60 pounds, during my pregnancy I was in bed rest and gained much more weight than I intended, and after birth I did lose some weight but I had started new medications, and gained more weight back. I recently was told by my doctors I have a thyroid condition and started a medication to help, it can cause many issues aside from weight gain, I am hoping that it will help me with my weight though, I do not like this new body, it feels very foreign to me. I have never been overweight in my life. And it causes pain in my body, my knees and hips and back are in pain, and my doctors will tell me it is due to my complications from child birth but I also do think it is from so much weight gain in such a short time. I am working hard daily, and I have only lost 22 pounds so far, it has taken 2 years to lose 22 pounds.
the thing is, most people who try to lose weight fail. this is true. maybe it's just the case that most people are lazy, but it's not super helpful to say it's an "excuse" when most people can't go through with it. that doesn't mean being obese isn't unhealthy, it is, it's really really bad for you.
The chica in red top needs to accept she is obese and is living a unhealthy lifestyle. There’s a lot of Hispanic people that are obese due to diet, lifestyle and choices they make. At the end of the day she needs to be accountable for the lifestyle decisions she makes.
Its the culture, Mexican food is f delicious but Mexican people are also very hardworking to make ends meet. They are very active people that go place to place by foot and buses. So in the US you can eat these Mexican dishes but arenr burning the calories because its a completely different lifestyle
Working out will HELP your mental. Even walking outside I feel better. In fact my fitness is THEEEEE ONLY thing I have that I am in control of. You have to get up early before work and go. If I don’t go early I’ll still go but I’m not at my optimum when I wait too late and I get “depressed” if something happens preventing me to miss
9:23 "She's a little bit plus size" girl you're not a little bit plus size, you're just obese and that's totally fine to admit. This denial is what causes our own demises as human beings. I've been there done that until I lost 154 lbs.
@@gerlinplays1806Not at all. She said or implied at least, when someone would look at me they’d consider me “plus size” while medically (just a technicality) I am considered obese.
I commend you for even seeing that this lifestyle is unhealthy and you can and will do something about it rather than trying to cope. By the way, if you’re heavy heavy walking and consuming less food will lead to greater weight loss than lifting weights.
"I've been medically obese since I was 12, and I was not obese." So you think you know more than medical experts... maybe that's part of the problem on why you're obese.
I’m sure this statement that was made during the video was solely based off what the BMI chart says. Which is something that medical professionals use to establish whether you were healthy or overweight or obese. If you look at the BMI chart, and you look at professional athletes majority of them would probably fall in the obese category just based off height and weight, which is the BMI chart off of
To be fair, there is a HUGE problem with BMI. The classification of obese from a BMI of thirty was done studying white men only. Whether or not someone is so overweight that it negatively impacts their health depends on a variety of factors, not just a number on a chart because that number can mean different things for different ages, sexes, races etc. So no I don't think it's weird to criticize the chart in your doctor's office constructed from incomplete research. Plus, BMI only accounts for weight and doesn't include other factors that influence your health
I agree. But they might also need that in their lives, time and ways to decompress of the stresses of life. But yes in the end it comes down to prioritising physical health/fitness
@@lifevest1it’s not just that though. Social media connects you with friends and family, it’s a way of communication. The issue is America’s work and hustle culture (which we’re forced to do) as well as the American diet and not prioritizing health and wellness.
It's admirable how at a time like this you make an episode that's for sure interesting and trying to get views, but you're actually doing it respectfully and in a not dramatic way like for example getting the girls to fight to spice things up.

@@xerxestheimmortal1preach! People act like privilege is a bad word, it’s not and it also doesn’t undermine the hard work people have done to earn what they have. But being able to acknowledge you have privilege is a sign of maturity imo.
I feel like when asked the question "fit women are more attractive", most of them chickened out of agreeing. Saying personality is more important doesn't reject the notion that being fit is more attractive. It just means that being physically attractive isn't the most important thing.
It's called dodging and coping. “Fit” is a physical characteristic. They immediately started talking about nonphysical characteristics. I highly respect Dahna for stepping forward with her honesty. Not sure if she knew she'd be the only one though.
I agree with you. Fit looks different for different people. If someone is 400+lbs and they are down to 240. That requires work and effort and contributes to attractiveness. Mindset, dedication, and health
I agree. You find someone attractive and want to get to know them, then their personality enhances your attraction to them. That baseline attraction is purely physical most of the time
Some of us are demisexual and genuinely aren’t physically attracted to anyone until we have an emotional connection with them. I’ve dated folks of all kinds of body types. My longest relationship was with someone who has been the biggest person I’ve dated (about 350lbs 6’2”, not fit). I will say my personal caveat is that I prefer to date people who can do physical activities with me, but that doesn’t mean they have to be skinny or fit to do so. I am a size 12 and got some cushion and I can kick skinnier peoples’ asses at a number of physical activities. If you tell me that you can’t go on a 40 mile bike ride up a mountain with me, when that’s one of my favorite things to do, then it’s not gonna work out.
It's so sad how most of the women feel offended when a doctor/proffesional/close friend tells them they are obese. It's not an offensive slur, it's a medical term, and when a proffesional tells you that, it means you are by all health standards overweight and it is endangering your life in some way. They are being paid to help people, and I believe most of them got into that proffesion because of that, it's just so dissapointing to see how hard it is for some people to just accept criticism that is meant to elongate their life.
not even elongate life , i was obese three years ago , existing was painful , couldnt breath, couldnt walk , i was always uncomfortable, sweaty , stomach pains ,lung pains ,plus feelings disgusted by my body , losing weight made life worth living
@@vivianacordero135 How about we have a look away from numbers and at real bodies then? Can you realistically say that someone who is taking up 1.5-2 seats, breathing hard, can barely fit clothing, and generally is nowhere near fit, is healthy? Once again disregarding BMI. Using your eyes and brain here.
I totally understand but I also can see this from their perspective. “Retard” was also a medical term and for years people who were *Not* doctors used that word to put down disabled people. I would say that the word obese is also used in the same way by people who are *Not* doctors. And when not used by doctors it is almost always used as a derogatory term. I wouldn’t want to be called obese by my doctor or anyone if I was bullied all throughout school with that same word.
"I don’t have time" "Healthy food is too expensive" "My mental health is too bad" "Your life allows you to be fit, mine doesn’t" This is the product of a fixed mindset. Nothing but excuses on the obese side.
As a person who's lost weight while having no job, got obese while having no job , lost weight while having a job, and gained it again while having a job And 2 kids now I can agree I've used all the excuses in the book
I wish I could’ve been on this panel! I have hypothyroidism which is one of those medical issues that not only causes weight gain but makes it harder to lose weight. However, I remain fit regardless. I don’t use it as an excuse. I have to try harder than the average person to maintain but so be it. I do it for my kids so that I can do fun activities with them. I want to be as healthy as possible so that i can be there for them. But also for me. Working out is the #1 thing that helps with my anxiety and panic disorders. When I work out regularly I don’t have those issues. That’s something I’ve had to learn the hard way. Working out and eating healthy are essential for optimum physical and mental health. Period.
Sorry that you’re having to go through that. Thyroid issues run in my family on my mom’s side and I’ve seen its effects. My mom is skinny, but she can gain weight easily so she barely eats and she has developed an eating disorder and her sister gained a ton of weight and has struggled with her weight for years. My cousin and I both have Hashimoto’s and we’re both thin, but struggle with other things from it. I think genetics plays a big role as her and I both have always been thin.

@@brookeh21 even the fittest of women have their bellies poking out. some part of it is literally our uterus and you cant do anything about it. i think having a flat stomach is very unrealistic for majority of people
This is worthy of applause. What a difficult, sensitive, and deeply personal topic, and what brave young women for being able to share their views so candidly and with compassion for one another.
Heavy on “so we agree”, I HATE hypotheticals that circle back to us agreeing… said a whole bunch of ifs ands & buts just for the question to still be answered the same
All these women saying “you’d look at me and think I’m a lil overweight but I’m obese clinically” need to realise everyone looking at you is thinking you are obese
First time she opened her mouth was to cut someone off and be rude. But with RUclips being generally all about FACTS and LOGIC, I'm not surprised literally everyone is all over her, lmao
"Would you consider me obese" coming from a person who is morbidly obese is such a bizarre phenomena. It's also so very clear she is not an active person.
@@lc-do5eo well by definition active means to pursue physically energetic pursuits, I don't want to make inferences to her state, but hopefully you get the picture! Certain words are thrown around in this video as though they don't have a specific meaning, active is just one of them haha
I agree with you, but she isn't morbidly obese. She's just obese. MORBIDLY obese is literally one step away from dying, hence the use of the word MORBID. You have to be 400+ pounds to be morbidly obese. She's probably 250-300, which is still inexcusable.
I think our minds are our BIGGEST prisons. The second you tell yourself you can’t do this because x,y,z…then you’ve already stopped yourself from achieving it. As someone with has had severe depression her whole life. A mom and wife. Me cutting out processed foods and taking more time into what I put in, has been THE biggest game changer for me. I don’t even count calories or go to the gym 5 days a week. I just do mindful eating, portion control, drink only water, wine, and coffee (home made not a bunch of sugar Starbucks drinks anymore). Resetting my gut health, has literally saved my life. And I am certainly not thin and miserablE. I feel and AM stronger than I’ve ever been.
@@Melodyy33919put the fork down and walk more. You will reap the most rewards through restricting calories from food rather than relying on exercise to burn calories. Make easy swaps like sodas to calorie free, food groups to low sugar etc
At Costco : $15 - 3 Rotisserie chicken $10 - 5lb Bag of mixed veggies Less than $1 - Pot of rice $5 - 3 lbs of Sweet potatoes You can have 3 healthy meals every day for the whole week for about $30
She was speaking about only having 12 dollars. Yes that's cheap but I may not have enough money to pay for a 30 dollar meal while tryna pay my rent and other bills.
10:20 no im sorry, i dont believe her. she's getting out of breath just sitting there talking. ik some people will see this as "hate" but objective reality is not hateful, its a necessity. this is a pretty severe form of disassociation that she's experiencing and i sincerely hope she gets the chance to address and heal it so she can live a healthier life
I lost 150 pounds and I used to think exactly like her. All love to her, but yeah, she’s definitely bargaining and in denial about her health. Which honestly is none of my business but it’s not a great message in my opinion for younger girls. Like when I was a bit bigger than she is I was going on hikes every day, but they were like a mile and it took me forever and I was going slow so I wasn’t getting out of breath. So I told myself that I was exercising, but then I would sit inside the entire rest of the day and just eat. I didn’t have any concept of what it was like to actually exercise consistently and get my heart rate up, so honestly maybe she just hasn’t had a lot of those experiences yet but I really hope she can at least be realistic with herself in a nonjudgmental way, and accept that her reality is pretty skewed. I had to do the same thing and it was really tough and I got really really defensive, but it was totally necessary and changed my life.
sometimes we forget that personal bias is inevitable. they are speaking from their own experience. in conversations like this, the experiences and perspectives of others is important data that can lead us to broader understanding.
The BMI is an antiquated tool, which doesn’t take into account muscle volume etc… many professional athletes are “medically obese” but not by society standards. I think that woman just didn’t know what she was talking about and is maybe not ready to accept that term
@@lachlanross1 it’s still an antiquated tool. The guy who made the BMI literally said in his study that he created it for to not use it as a source for comparing health. The only reason why it’s used is because health insurance companies needed a guideline to go off of so they chose that. Are the girls in the video obese, yes - but I 1000% believe we need a new way to define obesity that takes in more than height and weight.
@@FloatingInSpace5702 This is such a cope argument. Most people won't have enough muscle to actually raise their weight enough to obesity levels. It takes years and years of dedicated working out to actually raise your ''muscle weight'' by 15 or so kg yet we have these couch potatoes who can barely even lift their own behind claiming they are heavy because of muscle. So no most athletes actually won't be ''medical obese'' because athletes actually have low bodyfat percentage which usually puts them at average weight
Girl you’re obese. Girls, lady’s and women. Boys, guys and gentlemen. It’s okay to have some extra weight aslong it is healthy, please when you start to get pain or complications check out a doctor and slowly make progress. You don’t beed to be sport fit but try to be healthier for your own benefits, if you don’t want to that’s okay for you
I will argue that eating healthier is not expensive. Last year, I chose to take my health super serious and lost over 20 lbs, went from 189 to 166 in 2 months just from changing my diet, avoiding VERY specific foods and walking 1 hour every day. I mainly avoided bread and dairy because i have pcos and it helps. Spent $60 every weekly grocery trip while balancing rent, bills, transported while making $15/hr. For anyone living below that, i can definitely understand where it could be difficult.

Obesity is a medical term. It’s like saying you don’t have diabetes just because you “feel” fine. Just because you don’t “feel” obese, doesn’t mean you aren’t.
Just because Im missing both my arms doesnt mean I'm an amputee. I don't "feel" like an amputee...
I don't "feel" like I have bad eyesight. Yes, I'm legally blind but I don't identify as blind.
I don't "feel" like an epileptic. I feel fine after a seizure and I don't even remember them. Yes, I've been diagnosed with brain scans, but I don't identify as epileptic.
At the end of the day, whatever that woman was talking about was a showcase of her denial
exactly what i was thinking when i heard her say that
Telling a dangerously overweight person not to lose weight because they're "beautiful" is like telling an alcoholic not to stop drinking because they're "fun".

That was sad to hear. That just comes down to education about what terms like obesity really mean.
I question what they define as a "hike".
I believe it was a comparison method, like she can do hikes and long walks without being out of breath, but when going with her thinner friends, they do. Overall, it's not the definition, but sometimes reality is body shape doesn't equivate to physically able.

Obesity is so common now that people genuinely think that your weight is only a problem when you’re at the point of being bedridden
Also most think they're a bit overweight not realising that they and everyone around them are obese

WTF are people on when they start saying it's expensive to eat healthy???? healthy doesn't have to be fresh organic vegetables; you can have a heaping bowlful of pasta with olive oil and tomato sauce and it's still gonna be wildly cheaper and healthier than washing down tubs of fried chicken and cheeseburgers with coke. it's called basic math and common sense.
Portion control is free. Walking is free.
You don't need to completely change your diet and get a gym membership to lose weight. I'm so tired of these misconceptions around weight loss. It doesn't need to be expensive or hard.
i had an obese friend who lost weight simply by cutting sugary drinks, and she never worked out.
Yep. My dad was diagnosed with T2 diabetes and has practically reversed it by eating less, dietary changes and brisk walking daily. He's lost a ton of weight. Many people just can't be bothered to put in the effort.
For a super easy solution; RUclips videos are free. All the workout videos on here since 2020 are definitely a game changer.
Correct
It’s literally cheaper to eat less. Less food equals less money.
Eatings unhealthier isn’t CHEAPER… it’s just EASIER. A mcdonalds meal is like $10. For one single meal. I can spee $10 on ingredients and get like 7 meals out of it.

Body positivy is a misunderstood topic and is horrible to see how people who doesn't belong to the movement misrepresents the main purpose of it. The movement was created with the objective to change our perspective about our bodies, entitled people to love themselves no matter how you look because if you are overweight and you decided to change it from the perspective of self-hatred you are going to end up with a eating disorder or worse. For us in the movement, it is essential that the change comes from a place of love where you are grateful for having a body that moves you, because your limbs are healthy, because your body allows you to experience the world around you and only then you are gonna be able to make better decisions and achieve the best version of yourself. For some the goal will be to lose weight, others will have the goal of just moving more and exercising more, others will just want to look aesthetically better, etc. and all of these representations are valid. If you can´t love yourself, you will ended up taking the worst decisions about losing weight and you will put your life at risk by submitting yourself to strict diets, you will buy “miracle” drugs that promise to make you lose weight in 3 months and you are not even sure what they contain or you will stop eating and maybe you will lose weight but it will be at the expense of your health.
Very well said. That’s the kind of body positivity that I have and still believe in. 👍

I hate that I read all of this. But it sounds like you’re talking about mental health issues. But the mainstream body positivity community does promote being wider than all outside the people who are big should attempt to make the change at their own pace cause it’s selfish to your friends and family who care for you for us to see you down bad
"When you see me, do you think I'm obese?"
Yes. I am a person who's also medically obese, and I do believe you're obese.
Just to clarify...that says nothing about who you are as a person, but merely answers the question asked.
I’d disagree on your last sentence, it does say something about who they are as a person… For example somebody that’s big and muscular, u know they work out a lot, have dedication, etc. Apply that to obese people, sure it’s not fair for everything gene wise but that doesn’t stop people from judging u in public
ong being obese just refers to your BMI and other factors, not how you look. If you think about it, bodybuilders on steroids that are massive are also technically obese. it's just a medical term.
@@AcesMR6Obese does not always equal unhealthy though. I think that was the point OP was making. The older fit woman said she is clinically obese. Someone who is fit and muscular could still be classed as obese because the BMI index is highly flawed.
@@AcesMR6Well I was bulking last year and was obese, but nobody would thought it by looking at me because of my height and muscle
This exactly! People have a tendency to be offended when someone is categorized as obese. Being obese doesn't, by default mean you are a bad person. It just means you are obese. This is coming from a former obese person. People have lost common sense.
Body Positivity was created for people with physical disabilities too. Not just different body sizes
And stuff like skin colour and natural hair and age

10:07 As a person that was formally plus size, I can say that weight blindness is real…being able to breathe and walk are basic human functions that you can do without difficulty and still be dying. Being obese is no joke…it’s a silent killer. When you get down to a healthy weight you can really tell the difference that your normal was not normal.
THIS. I struggle with fluctuating weight and I‘m currently the heaviest I‘ve ever been (US size 12) and I can absolutely feel my knees now every time I walk my dog compared to when I weighed much less.

Too much Common Sense!! my social activists brains are burning!!!!
Young people have a tendency to think they're invincible. She's in for a rude surprise in her 30s and 40s.
Far doesn't mean you can't have stamina or increased lung capacity. When your bigger, you body has to do more work. A skinny unfit person's body doesn't nearly work as hard as a far parson.

As an obese person, other obese people make hella excuses. I’m a stay at home mom, I have a baby, I’m tired of being big. I used to make all those excuses too, but we have to care for ourselves and be honest. I’m only 19 and I have high blood pressure. For the longest time I lied to myself just so I could stay comfortable. One day I just sat down with myself and realized, although life is hard and there are many challenges, I want to live for my son. I’ve been doing better now. I’ve lost almost 20lbs and I’ve started going to the gym. I’m looking forward to see more results and be a healthier version of me. I suggest other people try. I know it’s hard, but take care of yourself, you have people that care about you.

I don't understand why people think you have to eat, gluten-free, 1000% organic expensive stuff to be healthier. Most people are obese because they eat too much. If they ate less food on a diet they would save money, being obese is expensive.
It sounds harsh but it’s so true lol
also u can get frozen veggies. shiiet thats what i do! they are mad cheap! i dont get a bunch of separate veggies and cut em up. also, with fruit ill have a bag of one type of fruit rather than getting a few different kind. I like to get cuties and then maybe the next time i go shopping ill get a bag of grapefruits. :}
Considering gluten comes from filler “foods” yes you should stop eating gluten to be healthy… Eating gluten free isn’t hard either… You simply quit eating stuff made out of most grains… Grains are not pertinent to our diet… They can mess around with the food pyramid all they want but people do not NEED to eat grains.
That’s so real!! Im thin and really fit and I eat like straight garbage LOL. It’s all about how much you’re eating. Theyre all talking about cutting out processed foods and pop and stuff, like you can have that stuff whenever you want it, it’s about how much you have! If you do cardio everyday and stop eating when your full, there’s really no limit to what you can and can’t have
I agree i feel like foot a lot of people it’s not necessarily what you eat but how much you’re eating.

Same I use to feel any words were a direct criticism to my person , I was so ashamed I couldn't even look down , being a healthy weight is a game changer in terms of overall happiness and self love
I don’t think they’re triggered
I used to be 290 lbs and am now 210 lbs (Still losing weight). I'm recovering from PP and hit 197 lbs before pregnancy but had to start again I got up to 240 lbs from pregnancy. I remember after I broke 200 lbs I wasn't picking fights with my partner, or feeling insecure about my body. My relationship with myself and my SO was thriving and I finally started being able to love deeply like I wanted. I felt alive, because I had pride in myself for working so hard. The insecurity is insane and a demon when you're overweight. These people are straight up capping if they say they don't feel insecure. They wouldn't get triggered from the word obese if they were healed.

Notice how most of the girls who are fit have better energy levels and seem more upbeat overall? Working out 100% helps with mental health and mood boosters.
100% I agree! But people shouldn't be so harsh to judge others if they're not able to get there (yet). Circumstances, environment, mental state to begin with are all factors. Empathy and kindness would be a lot more helpful than just bully overweight people
Working out releases endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people dont k*** their husbands.

"Addiction is the disease that tells your brain that the problem is the solution" 👏👏👏 That's a huge one! and one that is relevant today more than ever for so many people. The escape that addiction offers us is ultimately the biggest source of misery. and mindfulness/meditation - learning the art of non-reaction - is a powerful tool to fix our addicted selves!
90% agree but caveat from a professional standpoint- it depends a *little* bit on the person. For example, if an addicted person is also experiencing life circumstances that mean they're in a constant state of mental trauma or fight/flight, and have the freeze response, meditation can actually exacerbate the problem bc they're further removing themselves from their somatic processing. Again, it's very person specific, and there's not really a one size fits all solution to addiction, and meditation is incredibly helpful for many people experiencing it- it's just rarely the only solution and if theyre in a clinical setting, a lot of different factors need to be evaluated before recommending it(or any other treatment/coping skill)

“Addiction is your brain telling you the problem is the solution”. I had to pause this video because as someone who’s in and out of recovery that’s a very powerful way to describe the cognitive dissonance I, and other addicts feel. Thank you
But it’s also not necessarily true. It’s true for some people, but there are plenty people who know their addiction is not the solution
@@andy2641 Yeah I agree... it sound clever, but are... let's say food addicts really thinking that if they eat more food then they won't want be addicted any more? Do alcoholics think that drinking more booze will end their addiction to it? I don't think so, but would love to hear something to the contrary

This made me cry, struggling with my weight since I started puberty and not being diagnosed with PCOS in my 30s it all started to make sense for me. When she said you have to love on that little girl 😢. I do think being obese is a choice it’s hard but you have to tell ppl you are struggling, and it’s okay.
Walk 10k steps around the streets for free and do intermittent fasting for free. When you buy fast food just control your portions!!! Buy a burger and a liter of water. Balance ppl balance.
That's what they don't understand! You can literally lose weight eating only McDonalds IF YOU CONTROL YOUR PORTIONS. Of course a McDonalds diet isn't ideal, but its possible. Portion control is literally the one thing everyone can do whether they have money or not.

Burgers are not that bad by themselves if you think about it and are not eating them every day but just skip the soda and fries that’s what makes the meal into the thousands of calories
if you're depressed eating healthy is even MORE important....

Thankyou !!! Fr !
When I’ve been depressed, like actually depressed, not sad or disappointed, I choose healthy food to improve. Plus, I’m so numb when I’m depressed, I can’t taste food anyway, so I don’t understand why someone would eat unhealthy when it doesn’t even create a dopamine hit. lol
Yes!!! Your brain and gut connected.
My mom died a few years back and I was severely depressed. I just laid down and did nothing. I’m not kidding, just laying down for days. My bf at the time was so helpful. At first he’d just come be with me, and eventually he’d force me to go to the gym for an hour. It’s the main thing that helped my depression at the time, getting out and moving. I didn’t want to, but it did help a ton.
10:18 "I have friends who are skinnier than me, we go on walks and they're losing their breaths" GIRL just because they do not have the stamina does not mean that a person is obese 😭😭😭 there are lots of reasons why a person could be out of breath when walking maybe that person is anemic, does not have enough sleep, respiratory condition, etc. Also, BMI parameters are based on your height and weight and it is to determine whether your weight is in healthy proportion with your height. It is just based on your anthropometric measurements and not your capabilities when you are in that weight.
Yeah. And not being fit and not having muscle also leads to a lot of problems later in life, so that also is bad, but a different problem! You lose weight by eating less, you build muscle by exercising, too many people think those two are one and the same...
i’m literally 115 lbs and get out of breath on hikes 😭 idk why she used that as an example when everyone has different conditions when it comes to being active
Lol she's tryna get everybody to be obese and just not her
To me it kind of sounds like she equates the term "obese" with "fit", which would explain her definition of obese. Because you can be not obese and also not be fit and vice versa. Obese is a word to describe the ratio of your height and your weight, but has also been used as a slur so i think that might be why some of the women calles it "medically obese" to put the emphasis on the ratio and away from the slur.
“Believe it or not they consider me obese” girl… I’m gonna hold your hand when I tell you this.
Guaranteed all the overweight women here are BMI morbidly obese
I know I might get boo’d…but fit is more attractive. Screw men, PEOPLE (including other women) treat you way better. It may not be fair, it sucks…but it’s true. Clothing fits better. You can participate in more social activities. Overall you’re just more attractive in society.
People don't like the truth, but it's still the truth
This is so true, it was sad to see that even their argument didn’t prove it because at the end of the day fit will always be more attractive 🫤
Your looks are a currency. We can be woke all day long and individuals might treat you a special way as a means of their own wokeness token, but in general your life will be better if you look better 🤷♀️
Beauty is subjective. There are no definitive truths when it comes to judging attractiveness.
They way you see and treat yourself, society often reflects back. Those girls love themselves and take care of themselves, and the universe responds in kind.
I'm a single dad, working full time and go to school currently and I still prepare every single meal my child and I eat. It's about discipline and doing what you're supposed to do whether you feel like it or not. everyone has the ability to be disciplined but very very few choose to.
👏🏽👏🏽 facts
Respect 💯
Couldn't agree more❤
I think people also feel entitled to eat like insanely delicious food because their palate has been so distorted by fast, convenient food, so they don't want to eat simple dishes. Like I cook every meal I eat and often it's pretty boring (still tasty, but not crafted by food scientists to be hyper-palatable) but that also means it doesn't take that much time to cook.
@@marenomorgan this is very true. That's why my son and I only eat real food. Meat fruit and veggies. So I don't have to worry about him or myself becoming addicted to that chemical filled food like product that's not even real food
A lot of the ‘its not in my control’ excuses were basically just ‘I can’t bring myself to do it’
They just lazy that’s about it your telling me I don’t have time but you sit on your phone or tv or doing nothing for 1hr a day fam just go do what your saying that you don’t have time to do
some ppl have really bad ed’s for me i literally could not eat or gain ANYTHING for months and that’s definitely not my fault
@@hearxtcartiit's is though. You have a chance to get help and solve that issue. Unless you physically/medically can't.. you always can. Only you can help yourself so it is your fault either its from a reasonable thing or just purely being lazy.
I was depressed and was gaining weight but regardless its my fault I was gaining weight. no one was tying me to a bed, no one was shoving food in my mouth but ME. Fault=/=reason.
I did make a comment, about my struggle with losing weight after my child, but I have never struggled with weight until now, after having my child.
It’s extremely discouraging to put the work in for these last 2 years and only having seen I lost 10 pounds, my goal is I would like to lose 60 pounds, during my pregnancy I was in bed rest and gained much more weight than I intended, and after birth I did lose some weight but I had started new medications, and gained more weight back.
I recently was told by my doctors I have a thyroid condition and started a medication to help, it can cause many issues aside from weight gain,
I am hoping that it will help me with my weight though, I do not like this new body, it feels very foreign to me. I have never been overweight in my life. And it causes pain in my body, my knees and hips and back are in pain, and my doctors will tell me it is due to my complications from child birth but I also do think it is from so much weight gain in such a short time.
I am working hard daily, and I have only lost 22 pounds so far, it has taken 2 years to lose 22 pounds.
the thing is, most people who try to lose weight fail. this is true. maybe it's just the case that most people are lazy, but it's not super helpful to say it's an "excuse" when most people can't go through with it. that doesn't mean being obese isn't unhealthy, it is, it's really really bad for you.
I actually loved this. Lots of actually discussion. Lots of love and lots of listening
The chica in red top needs to accept she is obese and is living a unhealthy lifestyle. There’s a lot of Hispanic people that are obese due to diet, lifestyle and choices they make. At the end of the day she needs to be accountable for the lifestyle decisions she makes.
So does the girl in the red dress that were all pretending is actually fit when she's clearly out of breath just sitting there.
Its the culture, Mexican food is f delicious but Mexican people are also very hardworking to make ends meet. They are very active people that go place to place by foot and buses. So in the US you can eat these Mexican dishes but arenr burning the calories because its a completely different lifestyle

9:23 "She's a little bit plus size" girl you're not a little bit plus size, you're just obese and that's totally fine to admit. This denial is what causes our own demises as human beings. I've been there done that until I lost 154 lbs.

I commend you for even seeing that this lifestyle is unhealthy and you can and will do something about it rather than trying to cope. By the way, if you’re heavy heavy walking and consuming less food will lead to greater weight loss than lifting weights.
you go this , take it slow , remember it took time to get to that point, and it will also take some time to get to your ideal weight/body
You got this. Find what works for you, keep consistent, rest days are okay, drink water!

"I've been medically obese since I was 12, and I was not obese." So you think you know more than medical experts... maybe that's part of the problem on why you're obese.
Or maybe we live in a flawed medical system that reproduces fatphobia, just a thought
exactly. You cannot just say that you were "not obese" because you thought so and did not agreed with what the doctor said.
I’m sure this statement that was made during the video was solely based off what the BMI chart says. Which is something that medical professionals use to establish whether you were healthy or overweight or obese. If you look at the BMI chart, and you look at professional athletes majority of them would probably fall in the obese category just based off height and weight, which is the BMI chart off of
To be fair, there is a HUGE problem with BMI. The classification of obese from a BMI of thirty was done studying white men only. Whether or not someone is so overweight that it negatively impacts their health depends on a variety of factors, not just a number on a chart because that number can mean different things for different ages, sexes, races etc. So no I don't think it's weird to criticize the chart in your doctor's office constructed from incomplete research. Plus, BMI only accounts for weight and doesn't include other factors that influence your health

Saying you don’t have time is the worst excuse especially if you have any form of social media
I agree. But they might also need that in their lives, time and ways to decompress of the stresses of life. But yes in the end it comes down to prioritising physical health/fitness
@@Gervardo Gym is decompressing. You don't need to use your mind, you just lift weights. At most you have to count and adjust form.
@@lifevest1it’s not just that though. Social media connects you with friends and family, it’s a way of communication. The issue is America’s work and hustle culture (which we’re forced to do) as well as the American diet and not prioritizing health and wellness.
@@lifevest1 for you it might be, some people really dislike the gym
Social media has been proven to be a net negative for society.
It's admirable how at a time like this you make an episode that's for sure interesting and trying to get views, but you're actually doing it respectfully and in a not dramatic way like for example getting the girls to fight to spice things up. You can tell when a presenter is trying to give drama or calm things down, I'm sure you could do the first but glad you did the second.

All these people are Americans, and it you are american, you are already highly privileged.
@@xerxestheimmortal1I was literally about to comment this as bad as America gets were SUPER privileged.

I feel like when asked the question "fit women are more attractive", most of them chickened out of agreeing. Saying personality is more important doesn't reject the notion that being fit is more attractive. It just means that being physically attractive isn't the most important thing.
It's called dodging and coping. “Fit” is a physical characteristic. They immediately started talking about nonphysical characteristics. I highly respect Dahna for stepping forward with her honesty. Not sure if she knew she'd be the only one though.
I agree with you. Fit looks different for different people. If someone is 400+lbs and they are down to 240. That requires work and effort and contributes to attractiveness. Mindset, dedication, and health
I agree. You find someone attractive and want to get to know them, then their personality enhances your attraction to them. That baseline attraction is purely physical most of the time
Some of us are demisexual and genuinely aren’t physically attracted to anyone until we have an emotional connection with them. I’ve dated folks of all kinds of body types. My longest relationship was with someone who has been the biggest person I’ve dated (about 350lbs 6’2”, not fit). I will say my personal caveat is that I prefer to date people who can do physical activities with me, but that doesn’t mean they have to be skinny or fit to do so. I am a size 12 and got some cushion and I can kick skinnier peoples’ asses at a number of physical activities. If you tell me that you can’t go on a 40 mile bike ride up a mountain with me, when that’s one of my favorite things to do, then it’s not gonna work out.
My thoughts too
It's so sad how most of the women feel offended when a doctor/proffesional/close friend tells them they are obese. It's not an offensive slur, it's a medical term, and when a proffesional tells you that, it means you are by all health standards overweight and it is endangering your life in some way. They are being paid to help people, and I believe most of them got into that proffesion because of that, it's just so dissapointing to see how hard it is for some people to just accept criticism that is meant to elongate their life.
not even elongate life , i was obese three years ago , existing was painful , couldnt breath, couldnt walk , i was always uncomfortable, sweaty , stomach pains ,lung pains ,plus feelings disgusted by my body , losing weight made life worth living
But BMI is not really a medical term, it is a mathematical one. Nobody ever questions where this term comes from and how it came to be.
@@vivianacordero135 How about we have a look away from numbers and at real bodies then? Can you realistically say that someone who is taking up 1.5-2 seats, breathing hard, can barely fit clothing, and generally is nowhere near fit, is healthy? Once again disregarding BMI. Using your eyes and brain here.
I totally understand but I also can see this from their perspective. “Retard” was also a medical term and for years people who were *Not* doctors used that word to put down disabled people. I would say that the word obese is also used in the same way by people who are *Not* doctors. And when not used by doctors it is almost always used as a derogatory term. I wouldn’t want to be called obese by my doctor or anyone if I was bullied all throughout school with that same word.
Literally because of everyone in these comments, MAKING it into a bad thing. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
What a BIG conversation with some HUGE points!
"I don’t have time"
"Healthy food is too expensive"
"My mental health is too bad"
"Your life allows you to be fit, mine doesn’t"
This is the product of a fixed mindset. Nothing but excuses on the obese side.
Exactly, if you don't have time, wake up an hour earlier to fit in a workout. If you sleep for 6 hours a night, make it 5 hours.
As a person who's lost weight while having no job, got

39:07 that entire interaction was so sweet. and the mediator crying was so cute i love him❤
I wish I could’ve been on this panel! I have hypothyroidism which is one of those medical issues that not only causes weight gain but makes it harder to lose weight. However, I remain fit regardless. I don’t use it as an excuse. I have to try harder than the average person to maintain but so be it. I do it for my kids so that I can do fun activities with them. I want to be as healthy as possible so that i can be there for them. But also for me. Working out is the #1 thing that helps with my anxiety and panic disorders. When I work out regularly I don’t have those issues. That’s something I’ve had to learn the hard way. Working out and eating healthy are essential for optimum physical and mental health. Period.
Sorry that you’re having to go through that. Thyroid issues run in my family on my mom’s side and I’ve seen its effects. My mom is skinny, but she can gain weight easily so she barely eats and she has developed an eating disorder and her sister gained a ton of weight and has struggled with her weight for years. My cousin and I both have Hashimoto’s and we’re both thin, but struggle with other things from it. I think genetics plays a big role as her and I both have always been thin.

I’m glad someone said it.
I lost 150 pounds and I used to think exactly like her. All love to her, but yeah, she’s definitely bargaining and in denial about her health. Which honestly is none of my business but it’s not a great message in my opinion for younger girls. Like when I was a bit bigger than she is I was going on hikes every day, but they were like a mile and it took me forever and I was going slow so I wasn’t getting out of breath. So I told myself that I was exercising, but then I would sit inside the entire rest of the day and just eat. I didn’t have any concept of what it was like to actually exercise consistently and get my heart rate up, so honestly maybe she just hasn’t had a lot of those experiences yet but I really hope she can at least be realistic with herself in a nonjudgmental way, and accept that her reality is pretty skewed. I had to do the same thing and it was really tough and I got really really defensive, but it was totally necessary and changed my life.

Obese and medical obese is the same thing, stop coping
I think they are confused the colloquial use of obese with the literal definition and that is the issue
The BMI is an antiquated tool, which doesn’t take into account muscle volume etc… many professional athletes are “medically obese” but not by society standards. I think that woman just didn’t know what she was talking about and is maybe not ready to accept that term
@@FloatingInSpace5702 yeah but none of the women in the video that were obese had high enough muscle mass for that to be a factor
@@lachlanross1 it’s still an antiquated tool. The guy who made the BMI literally said in his study that he created it for to not use it as a source for comparing health. The only reason why it’s used is because health insurance companies needed a guideline to go off of so they chose that.
Are the girls in the video obese, yes - but I 1000% believe we need a new way to define obesity that takes in more than height and weight.
@@FloatingInSpace5702 This is such a cope argument. Most people won't have enough muscle to actually raise their weight enough to obesity levels.
It takes years and years of dedicated working out to actually raise your ''muscle weight'' by 15 or so kg yet we have these couch potatoes who can barely even lift their own behind claiming they are heavy because of muscle. So no most athletes actually won't be ''medical obese'' because athletes actually have low bodyfat percentage which usually puts them at average weight
The real problem is not being able to admit there is a problem.
Before I watch this, I know someone is gonna cry. And it’s not a hate comment. It’s a prediction
37:54 almost made me cry fr, I love hearing these different perspectives being shown in such a respectful and supportive way in this episode
Girl you’re obese. Girls, lady’s and women. Boys, guys and gentlemen. It’s okay to have some extra weight aslong it is healthy, please when you start to get pain or complications check out a doctor and slowly make progress. You don’t beed to be sport fit but try to be healthier for your own benefits, if you don’t want to that’s okay for you
Yeah, that was rough
Exactlyyyy
My thought is. If you can't walk up a small set of stairs without breathing hard and feeling tired. There is a problem.
ladies* learn to spell
This is such a underrated comment nothing about vanity just health
the way the women in the red dress reacted at 38:19 was the best thing I have heard in a rlly long time. Especially the emotion behind what she said
More people need to have that energy
I will argue that eating healthier is not expensive. Last year, I chose to take my health super serious and lost over 20 lbs, went from 189 to 166 in 2 months just from changing my diet, avoiding VERY specific foods and walking 1 hour every day. I mainly avoided bread and dairy because i have pcos and it helps. Spent $60 every weekly grocery trip while balancing rent, bills, transported while making $15/hr. For anyone living below that, i can definitely understand where it could be difficult.
