    I once proved a point to my mother who was over a hundred pounds overweight. She always tried all these trend diets she found in magazines and they never worked. She also bought a gym membership and wasted money on a trainer (who was in idiot), and she gave up cause it was too hard. So I told her, here's what we're gonna do. I get to control your portion sizes for 3 months. We will still eat all the same foods (I cook at our house), but you have to let me get your plate, and pack your lunch for work, and you can't go back for more. I also told her that ANYTHING is exercise, moving is exercise. So I'd have her just do things like. Lift your legs off the floor from the couch, and hold them there for 10 seconds, then drop them, do that 5 times. Raise your arms up and swivel them for a set time. Get up, and sit down 10 times not using your hands. Stuff like that. And my last rule was she couldn't check her weight at all till the end of the 3 months. I started weighing her portions. And I'd just drop them by a couple of grams every day or so. We still all her faves. Breads, pasta, rice dishes, burgers all of it. "Do a lap around the house one time, and sit back down." So on, so on. At the end of the 3 months she'd lost 23 pounds, and just started crying, and hugged me. You don't have to starve, and be sore to lose weight. I hope everyone realizes that.

      " You don't have to starve, and be sore to lose weight." You just need to be responsible and disciplined. Weight control is a lifestyle, not a crash program. The only thing that requires a program is your brain. Every good thing you do for yourself must become a habit.

      To be fair some mental illnesses can't be detected visually. However you're still mostly correct. Look can still tell a lot about person. Being bit chubby can be sign of just poor lifestyle choices. For example going out and partying every weekend easily builds up caloric intake. While being extremely obese is clear sign of someone using food for comfort due to mental issues.

    • @lindz758

      @Tespri yes, of course some people can hide their mental health struggles quite well, I just take issue with what she said in the video and the attempt to make a broad brush statement about how you can't detect someone's health by looking at them and proceeds to give examples of mental health to make her point. Trained professionals can be quite good at detecting issues with health by looking at someone and making observations.

In the meantime the medical profession have pumped her with drugs, she is severely overweight, says she never eats, but is eating all the time. Now I have been told to never speak to her again about the issue. I'm broken and sad about not being able to be honest with her and the crap she is fed by Doctors who pander and give her more drugs.

I've gotten weighed with relatives and friends WAY bigger than me to demonstrate this point, they almost always end up weighing less than me. So I wonder how much passive activity + the macro balance of your diet affects the composition of a person. I gained weight from overeating home cooked meals; real meat, real carbs and real veg.

If he were walking more, working out, and dieting, while still being fat, then it's genetics, but if you can do the work and get results, and you just don't want to, that's on you.
      Also I'm sure you're super fit, and idk what a no-workout version of you looks like, but in my mind, if anyone who doesn't work out(or doesn't have a physically demanding job) tries to squat 405 they are gonna get folded into oblivion.

Most likely from sleep apnea aka due to his weight. It is sad, I miss him and it pisses me off that ppl try to act like being obese is okay and “beautiful” no it’s unhealthy and dangerous. I took it serious and lost 55 lbs, trying to lose another 15-20 lbs. I was 230 more muscular than most but was tired of being chubby. I hope people become sane again

    You and many other red pill RUclipsrs helped me with my problem with obesity. I always knew it was a problem but having these fat acceptance people on tik tok made me feel like it was ok to be that way like mentioned in the video. I deleted majority of social media and started working on myself 4 months ago. I used to be in the 380 lbs range and now I’m 270 lbs range. Being obese gave me an umbilical hernia and it was ulcerating. If the hernia got infected I could’ve died. Now that I’ve lost a decent amount of weight, I can get a hernia repair surgery and not have to worry about it anymore. The hernia is painful and the death scare was real. Having people like you calling out bullshit and telling the truth helped me realize I was in denial… thank you for all of your videos.

    Hi, dermatologist here. I own my practice and treat many obese patients. I have lost quite a few patients as a result of their morbid obesity due to skin infections. When severe infections occur in the deep folds of skin and fat, it is a bacterial nightmare. It’s hot, sweaty, you have friction, and tearing of the skin coupled with poor hygiene. It is also very difficult to treat because there is no blood flow to the area, so antibiotics are not effective. The infection spreads, they become septic, and they die. It could all be avoided if they lost weight.
    In addition, some people refuse to acknowledge their weight as the root cause for their problems. Due to that, some will refuse treatment solely because the treatment is different for people of an average weight.
    This mindset infuriates me. I lost a young woman two years ago due to her refusal to acknowledge her weight problem. She weighed 550lbs, was barely able to walk, and truly believed and preached this health at every size, and fat acceptance nonsense. She was 32 when she died.
    These people need to wake up. Your weight will catch up to you.

And because I was the youngest on the team (and maybe the strongest but I’m not that strong) it was MY job, of course. Wow. I loved my patients but I really hated the workload.

      @@dolphin1418 no, it was an assisted living facility, one with many locations and it seems “luxury” and they charge the residents themselves an arm and a leg (some apartments on my floor went for $12K/mo) but their practices were SO BAD. Initially I was excited to get overtime AND they’d offer a bonus because it was always last minute (as in we need you to come in NOW, ASAP) or so I thought. Turns out due to some weird pay cycle they purposely created it wasn’t actually overtime and additionally I got HALF of my hourly rate, thus the “bonuses” which they didn’t even offer anyone, so by the time your paycheck comes around and the taxman takes his portion, it wasn’t worth it. So I had to chuckle a little at “hazard pay” since they barely paid me to begin with. And all my coworkers were incredibly lazy so, as someone who genuinely cared about the residents and wanted the best for them, I had to do the lion’s share of the work. Again, I still miss the residents/patients (because really despite being an “assisted living” facility, everyone was old and sick and needed a lot of help, so they were more patients than residents) but I really started resenting that place and the way they handled issues.
      ETA: sorry for the rant and thanks for asking! I got out before I could do any serious damage to my back but other than the obese patients, there was still a lot of lifting and moving of wheelchair bound patients as well, so it was a physically taxing job since I’m not that big/strong and all the residents weighed more than me.

    Man... I've been trapped in the opposite cult for 4 years too. A pro anorexic cult. I truly believed being like 70lbs and under was healthy and anything higher was fat and disgracious. Having the lowest BMI was a competition and we were all so insecure that we had to pretend we were better than the other because we were ''disciplined'' enough to not eat anything. We were all encouraging and influencing each other down a dark path on some websites and forums. After multiple health scares and realising that it was complete bullshit, I decided to start recovering (which was very recently). Everything you said sound so familiar but on the total opposite side of the spectrum. Now it's so hard to eat enough on a daily basis and, just like you said, not returning to old, bad habits. I don't know how people obviously see a problem with pro anorexics but not with those fat activists when it's the exact same thing, one extreme and the other! Your videos help me out a lot.

      That's so sad. I've heard it's this way in many parts of Japan, and the girls there are very fat conscious and are thin.
      I think that certain videos talking about how disgusting fat people are, will cause you to have a trigger that makes you go down the anorexic path, because you don't want to be fat. Watching all these videos, scared and nervous of being fat... Then boom, a traumatic incident and then it happens, the darkness.
      The thing is, we need to be kind and positive to people. Sure, it's not okay to be at either extreme, but don't treat the people like they are trash, because then it's going to make them double down on their path and the mental illness involved. DO PEOPLE THINK THAT AN OBESE PERSON DOESN'T KNOW THEY ARE OBESE AND THERE IS AN ISSUE? Only a small portion of people (pretty much only f-ist left-ist, lib women are this way). It's the same with the anorexic group you speak about, because they are only a small portion of very thin/anorexic people.
      I would think that many of these people need soft kindness; however, many in here posted how "toughness" changed them. I think that "toughness" can make someone change, because they don't want to be made fun of, or treated like an outcast.... But then you're just a follower, following others on someone else's path... Not going down your own path, with the help and support of others.
      That's the difference to me.
      ----------------
      My suggestion to you is to find a local dairy farm and start drinking farm fresh milk that isn't heated at all. That will help you in all sorts of ways including putting on weight and getting you a ton of extremely beneficial nutrients, as well as fixing your gut microbiome which most likely was damaged with what you were doing.
      I personally have fasted by not eating for 3 days at a time, but I weighed 300lbs and had the fat stores to do this. I also assume your group didn't follow fasting protocols, and people were probably still eating during the day... but tiny amounts... Right? Not eating will allow the body to heal and do a lot of good things if it has the fat storage, but if you don't have the fat storage, and you're just eating tiny amounts... That's going to be bad.

Anyhow, my bloodwork came back as pre-diabetic, which of course I found concerning. She comes home one day and I mention to her that I'm pre-diabetic and really need to get more broccoli into my life. She completely freaks out on me! How dare I mention "diet" (I didn't, just broccoli)! Her girlfrind was on psych meds that were causing her to gain weight and the mention of diet harmed her mental health. I sat in stunned silence. The girlfriend in question wasn't even in the house. The following day she pranced into the house, girlfriend in tow, each sucking down a huge fattening, sugary frozen shake-like drink. Not only was she enabling her girlfriend to deepen her weight-related self-esteem issues, she was flaunting something that could, theoretically, be highly triggering to me (this happened 6 years ago and I only now realized the irony).

You're committing a slow suicide by allowing yourself to gain weight and inactive. You can either succumb to it or fight back." That woke my ass up. After a year and 2 months of calorie restriction drinking nothing but water and when needed for protein milk and having both a cardio and strength training routine. I lost 52 pounds and am now at a weight that's healthy for my height, but my goal is 145 now I'm less that 10 pounds away from that. My bone density has increased and I no longer get sciatic and neck pain from just sitting.
    Being obese is bad for you there is no easy way to put it. You fuck up all your organs, bones and teeth. Half the problems obese people have can be fixed with weight loss. It's not bad to love your body, but letting yourself balloon up to weights that can certainly kill you before age 40 isn't loving your body. You're just committing a slower form of suicide.

I'm 41 Im at 178lb and I feel better than I did in my late 20s, I look better, and I'm not depressed! Look at the damage being obese did to me in such a short amount of time, and keep in mind I was in my prime age wise. This fat acceptance movement is so dangerous. Dear Lord how did society get so stupid?

I'm doing things now I never dreamed of doing.. and quicker then i ever could of dreamt.. I have mental disabilities and things that genuinely make it alot harder for me.. but plot twist.. my mental disabilities and health problems are all better due to living healthier and working on being a better person.. turns out being healthier is a natural and good way to help with mental illness and things.. better then any drug could.. only thing I would say is for people like myself, the first step to losing the weight is working on your lifestyle and the mentality you have towards life.. if you find a reason and a purpose that matters to you, then losing weight comes naturally.. for me I found out I really love exploring new places.. but I couldn't do it because of health problems.. which gave me the motivation and reason i needed to lose weight.. and now i feel the best I've ever felt in my life and i get to explore and go new places and actually enjoy it and love it.. anyway, I wish anyone and everyone the best with life, I hope you all stay positive and happy.. have a good day :)

    Anyway, I worked as a CNA in few nursing homes and mostly it's elderly residents. There's always one 30-40 something year old bariatric patient there because they couldn't take care of themselves or have family to do it so they were sent to the nursing home. And everyday, we had to wash them in bed because they refused to get up or they couldn't walk anymore due to the weight, and let me tell you about the smell. Despite washing them everyday, they smelled foul and I feel bad for saying it. Ammonia thrown right in your face and the heat was blasted inside the room. I remember having to wear a mask to hide my reaction when we would roll them over and we get a whiff. We'd find mold in between the folds from the sweat built up. Fecal matter because they use bedpans and it's hard to wipe to get everything until bath time.. It was terrible and what sucks is that the patient just accepts it. They don't care they became like that and they won't do anything to change.

So I was on a bunch of meds to help with what I created as problems in my body. I was so sick of taking medication to survive that I finally got off my ass and did something about it. I lost 96lbs was able to come off all the medication, had much more energy and stamina and felt so much better. I don’t care that others call me fat phobic because I much rather be labeled as that and live then to be 6 feet under because I was to stubborn to change. How is death better than losing weight?

    Holy shit you wouldn't believe me but I did electrical work for Cat Pausé a few days before she was hospitalized, she was genuinely a wonderful person with a heart of gold, but it was so shocking because she was happily going about life fixing up their house up and without any real warning they're gone. She really did worship her weight though, a lot of obesity supporting artwork and portraits up in her house, gave a very weird cult like feeling. Very odd but a very lovely person nonetheless.

    Legit fat acceptance is what motivated me to take care of my health. The fairytale and delusuonal thinking the movement ran with scares me now. I am learning to establish a healthy relationship with food and work my way through that while losing weight. Thank you for these videos to remind me that it is okay for being on this path. It takes courage and hard work. Thats something to be proud of and not to be ashamed of.😁

Honestly, it's an important topic that needs to be covered, the fact acceptance movement is absolutely appalling. It promotes a unhealthy lifestyle that will lead to heart disease and an early grave.

    When I first met my girl she she tried to tell me these same excuses she gained weight after she was diagnosed with this and that from the doctor and was on medication. If it wasn't for her personality I wouldn't have invested the time in helping her regulate her diet, Taking her to the gym and building her confidence back up. She is now off meds and more active than she has ever been in her life. Don't believe the bs they say there's no excuse it just takes hard work.

      @idancemyassintothepaint7571 I was on the same boat it was frustrating I'm a fit guy I go to the gym 4-5 times a week. My girl has an amazing personality that made mo hold on. The fact that she made the effort to trust me that she wasn't a victim and could change made a huge difference. It took convincing though. She grew up in that mentality with people always saying she can't do anything. When I finally got her to squat 135 lbs after months of training that's when it clicked she wasn't helpless

Her journey wasn't easy, and finding someone who can maintain determination despite what they have heard their whole life is difficult. It's so easy to fall into the rut of I am just this way, and I can't change. Change takes time I kept her motivated not by her physical appearance changes in the beginning but rather her ability that increased.

    Graduated college at nearly 300lbs at 5'7" and absolutely hated myself for letting myself go that far. I started working an extremely physically demanding job that has both improved my cardio and helped me shed nearly 60lbs over 7 months. I feel so much better, my already bad knees don't hurt as bad, and I can actually enjoy my hobbies without constantly being out of breath. Being big is a choice and I'm glad I've stepped back and started fixing it. Hopefully I can be around for my kids and be able to do things a parent should for them!

    The worst part about being fat isn't feeling ugly......it's the not being able to do things and have energy. It makes life uncomfortable and a decent amount harder. It really sucks. I weighed 250 by the age of 14 and....310 by the age of 18. Went down to 200 from age 19 to 25. Now I'm 31 and back at 280 and it sucks
