Yes

Agreed!

they are prolly all dead or dying. i guess one outta 10 may have taken the problem seriously and lost the weight. weight loss seems impossible, until you quit sugar then the pounds just roll off. keto, and the carnivore diets are powerful tools in this regard. get on them even if you aren't fat. i myself have dropped 30 pounds in 6 months and have gained enormous unexpected health benefits. blood pressure, shortness of breath, acid reflux, vision, sleep, energy, motivation, all these are normal now. there are other things i am not even aware of i am sure have improved. my father had type 2 diabetes, so i took the hint. plus i fit into my 40 year old waist size 32 high school jeans again. btw, exercise has wonderful health benefits, but weight loss isn't one of them. it's all in the low carb diet.

Yes!

shame works very well when it is internal (meaning you shame yourself in your alone time)

Not true for me. I was fat at age 12 because I chose to eat a whole box of Captain Crunch and a half gallon of milk while watching Saturday morning cartoons. I would drink a liter of Coke a day. I also ate a lot at regular healthier mealtimes. But I also consumed a lot of junk in between meals. My dad one day told me that I was growing tits and he was right. That comment truly hurt because it was true. I asked him to buy me a York Barbell set for Christmas and gave him my own shopping list for groceries and healthier food that I wanted to eat during the week. Reducing carbs and sugar was key. I started walking to and from school instead of taking the bus, jumping rope and lifting some weights at home and I lost all that fat and weight in a very short time. My father with his cutting tough love comment put a fire under my ass. I could never have thanked him enough for that.

@@inquisitor4635 Good work on your part! The "Shame never works." fact is really a minority of people that need encouragement to properly fit in with society, most people hate to be outsiders.

That is absolutely wrong. Shame is one of the most effective tools you can wield against any human being.

Well...nagging and harassing produces soldiers and marines so it works...these whales need a drill sergeant to literally spill them into the floor before sunup and stay on them all day ..they fat because they comfortable

Obviously this is not about body positivity. People know about diabetes and heart disease. If they were able to just stop and lose weight in an instant they would

You can help by knocking the McDouble out of their hand! How can "we" help? Give me a break. Fat people are fat cuz they eat too much & move too little. Period. Only they can help themselves.

macchris45 cmac you clearly don’t understand some of the struggles they go through

Be A Hero YOU GOTTA HELP YOURSELF SAME WITH DRUGS AND ALCOHOL 😡

macchris45 cmac RIGHT ON FAT PEOPLE ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN BY NOT EATING HEALTHY AND EXERCISING ITS NOT CANCER SOMETHING THAT YOU GET BECAUSE YOU CAN’T CONTROL EATING A LOT YOU CAN CONTROL IT YOU CAN GET BETTER AND HEALTHY 😡 NO ONE WANTS CANCER BUT NO ONE WANTS TO BE FAT ONE LADY SAID SO HELL EAT A SALAD WALK GOOD HEALTH IS PRICELESS 😡😡😡

I disagree, food made you the person you are, In the same way that food made you like this, other types of food will get you out of it, Look up ketogenic diet and carnivore diet, I have improved a lot, in just 5 months, and 2 months eating only meat and lemon juice without any sugar, Sugar is a highly addictive poison, more addictive than cacaine and crack, I'm much better, really, it's worth changing food to change the way of the malnourished mind, good luck friend

Never to late to lose weight...this time have some fun with it

That requires ignoring why some peoples brain can’t detect the leptin in their body telling them they are full.

llgla I also live in a stress and i do have my problems, but i don’t drink or smoke and i am not obese. I have self controle and i was not raised to be like that i had to learn as they have to. My parents weren’t nice to me, i am pansexual and my whole family is homophobic. My childhood was not easy but my weight is normal cause i wanted to be good althoug everything bad. Why can’t other people when i can

Yes I agree different people have different ways of comforting themselves. Now lets switch the story a little bit. Put your situation onto somebody else but that person chose to comfort themselves with alcohol and heroin. Nobody would be telling this person that they are okey and they can't help what they do. Nobody would defend them. But for some reason people who are obese due to comfort eating is put on a pedestal above alcoholics and drug takers even though they may use their chosen substance to cope. At the end of the day using any substance, be that food, alcohol or drugs to cope with a situation is not healthy. People shouldn't wait to regain control once stress has gone and instead be more responsible for their health and deal with the situation constructively.

You’re using your childhood as an excuse for making poor decisions. We all rationalize or own behavior, but be honest about it. Life is HARD we and all have to learn to manage it so we don’t sabotage ourselves and create more problems.

It's still a choice to eat crap (and huge amounts of it), no matter what emotional state you're in.

I'm sorry that happen to you as a child

I applaud you as a man because when I was a young adult, I would watch men make fun of their friends who had a belly or gained a little weight after marriage, etc. I was married at the time and it would happen to my husband. I asked him if it bothered him because I could see that it did. He denied it but I knew it did. Men have feelings too but I get they try to act like it doesn't matter where women are constantly compared to Hollywood standards although we have babies and women love a "dad bod." I love the celebrities who come out and say, the covers they do, are not the real them. That half of them is cut off or their untoned skin is covered, their veins are covered, the cellulite and stretch marks are covered, etc. It isn't reality, yet, they make people think it is. Maybe everyone wouldn't think so less of themselves and think they had to look so perfect all the time, if magazines and tv wasn't making everyone look perfect. I find myself judging myself and I need to remember that I am 49 and I am a real person. I love the real actors that are just who they are and it sucks because we say this and it makes them feel like they are less than because then they think they aren't as good where in reality, I just know the rest are fake. They are using waist trainers, glam teams, private physical trainers, implants, botox, etc. There's nothing real about them. Real people are not perfect. Fake people aren't either but they are made to look that way. Sorry for the long post. I just appreciated a man's view and the fact that you reported the inconsiderate rude people.

I haven't seen a single comment that even suggests they are not human beings worthy of respect. What the comments say is that they should stop playing the victim and accept their responsibility in the matter. Becoming a smoker is also affected by different factors external to the addict itself and no smoker could get away with saying that it's not their fault. In both cases is not just their fault, but they are at fault for sure

They're not quite human beings.

Nobody in the comments is doing this. You just don't like facts and truths.

@shuepsx652, @metalgrinch I love how you guys say "Nobody in the comments is doing this" while between your two comments @rockycomet4587 says "They're not quite human beings." Well done on your reading comprehension /s

jdstep97 Being overweight is a symptom of being carbohydrate intolerant.

Disagree! If you eat complex carbs without added fats you will lose weight. Ditch the meat, dairy, and eggs.

@@revnv590 Keto is really popular right now. I don't agree with it. Just eat when you're hungry and have a treat once in a while.

@@thalesnemo2841 it has more to do with insulin

This exactly. Even if one doesn’t feel any sympathy it is counterproductive to spew hatred if one truly want these individuals to become slimmer.

WELambert01 Perhaps “spewing hatred” was too strong a phrase, but your comment illustrates that you have not understood my point. These people know they’re fat/obese etc. Pointing it out by shaming them will not cause them to lose weight (as counterintuitive as this may seem). There have been a vast array of studies proving this. If we want to combat the global obesity epidemic wouldn’t it be logical to go about it in a way that actually works? These people need emotional help first of all - that’s the root of the problem. Perhaps more than anyone else, these people need love, no matter how much someone like you thinks they don’t deserve it. Also fat people (BMI still under 25) aren’t necessarily “dying”. I hope that one day you’ll get where I’m coming from.

I still don't think they need the abuse.Congrats with the weight loss.

Congratulations man! That’s amazing!

I am much better than these disgusting slobs and I reserve the right to treat them however I want.

I also believe in personal responsibility. But there is no denying that the odds are stacked against usa citizens. For one the food marketing to make people eat more is merciless compared to other western nations. Secondly the portion sizes eating out and at home are substantially bigger. American plates are humongous. Also it is very normal to eat anywhere anytime. Food is everywhere where you walk, can buy anytime at any corner. In my country it is frowned upon to walk around in public with food or a drink in your hand. Also everything is giantsized in america. For example the carton box of cereals are huuuugge, I have never seen anyhing like it. It is also epigenitically inherited by children if their parent were obese during pregnancy. Raise an american kid in another country and the likelyhood of him becoming obese decreases dramatically.

@@sj0nnie The biggest problem, in my opinion, is Americans don't exercise. Yes, fast food and large portions are playing a large role, but it is difficult to truly become obese if you are physically active. Plus, physical activity decreases stress levels and overall makes you feel better. It is no secret that many people eat food for comfort due to stress. When you are physically active you will naturally be less inclined to adopt an eating style that will make you fat.

Please understand how quickly you can become overweight after a medical issue, steroid medication, or pregnancy/miscarriage. I went from a size 00 at 108 pounds with hip bones sticking out to 226 pounds in a little over a year after a miscarriage and severe mold allergies which led to my doctor prescribing me a lot of steroids. And a lot of the weight gain was absolutely my fault. I was very depressed after my miscarriage and ate emotionally. I am now getting back into a healthy weight category, but damn I never knew how hard it was as I've never had to lose this much weight. I also had a friend whose twin babies died at 38 weeks. She was in another part of the country than me at the time than me, but I could only imagine the pain if anyone commented on her weight gain from the twins after she had to bury her 2 babies. I've forever changed my thoughts about anyone overweight. Focus on your own self- you don't know someone's else's whole story.

@@mascara1777 Yea, there are definitely cases like yours and this is why you should never judge anyone on their weight because you have no clue what caused them to get to that point.

+Darcel Downing Well, some people are retarded. You just have to excuse them.

I don't fight discrimination, I just discriminate.

I feel you a lot with the taking narcotic pain medicine for a real issue and family saying it's not a big deal it's not that painful even though they were the ones crying at my house but and having to drive me back and forth to multiple surgeries but it was also them who caused the issue as a child anyways so.... But being labeled a lazy drug addicts is terrible

+William Prine These people aren't asking for "special rights". These people are asking to be treated like a human being. Wanting people to stop treating you like shit isn't a "special right". I highly doubt that when you were obese you were totally fine with people insulting you because of your weight. I didn't see any self pity here by the way.

+Monica Stewart Telling the truth is not treating someone like shit. Recovering the self control as an adult is very important and healthy, no matter if thruth hurts...

Monica Stewart Yes, speaking shit at obese people won't help, but I talk about when their relatives try to help by exposing the health risks and offering changes in their eating habits so they react like victims and sometimes can be verbally or phisically violent in return. Most of the times are manipulative, living in denial and simply doesn't want any help until the day they face serious health problems and cry for magical solutions.

@Monica I agree that it is about being mean when people say a word to the obese like that.

From another former fat person, I agree.

Yeah, and now that we do it your way they refuse to lose any fat at all and in-fact are piling it on. Fuck you people.

Yes, Great

because excessive liberal ideals...however, you should be rude or make fun of obese people BUT it's as much an illness as anorexia and just as deadly

Thanks for you for your totally clueless comment perfect person. I'm sure if I spent 30 seconds with you I could find your faults and we can just harp on those and make you feel like crap!

Crazy how accepted it is to tell someone skinny to eat a cheeseburger but someone obese if you say you shouldn't eat that it's looked at as rude.

@GEORGIANA DAILEY because their faces are the only attractive part about them. They ask "what about the rest of me", well the rest of them, i.e their body, is grossly obese and unattractive.

@GEORGIANA DAILEY - The "rest of them" is repulsive to most people.

You missed the point which is that their obesity is not your responsibility and they don't ask for your useless critique but you and other bullies just can't shut the fuck up and mind your own business.

Justin Case someone's heroin and cocaine addiction isn t others responsibility, but you shouldn't normalize it, because it will spread as people will think it's not really as bad as it is. Same applies to 98% of obese people. It would be seen as a medical condition and not an issue with self control and lifestyle if the only people who were fat where the ones with true conditions. People who are fat beyond their control is a micro minority of the obese population. Being fat is not the same as being say black, Asian or Latino. To compare fat prejudice to that or race is peak ignorance and makes me care even less about their plight.

earth star Yes it is their fault that they're fat but it wouldn't kill us to be kind nonetheless.

I agree that people should not be ridiculed for weight, however, you cannot normalise obesity. Obesity isn't normal and it does effect ones health that same that being underweight would also effect your health. There is only a small portion of people who are over weight because of health related issues. No one wakes up being 300 pounds overnight. That IS down to poor choices and society is going to ridicule you just as society does with how you dress/look/sound/etc. People are assholes. I hate the victim mentality here though.

AMEN SIR

AMEN SO TRUE

Wrong

Preach

I'm 5 foot 2 inches and 130 pounds I still wish I was smaller though in pounds at least

130 is fine really. I just don't want to get to the point where I can't exercise. no one should get to that point.

I've always been pretty athletic growing up, so I always weighed a little bit more because I had some muscle but now I have this stubborn belly fat I need to get rid of. time to hit that gym hard my body got used to all the walking I already do.

Benjamin Franklin nothing good really. Although I don't eat a lot of fast food (I hardly eat it at all maybe like twice a month) I eat frozen foods, sometimes veggies, bannanas and apples, no salads lol. I don't have the best diet but it's not the worst. I don't lose nor gain weight.

Benjamin Franklin easier said then done ben! I probably do eat too much I'm just going to start chugging a bunch of water before dinner. and stop eating this processed crap XD

Helo, Diet Carnivoro great

jup, same, not fat shaming just introverted as fuck

Can I sit next to you? 😇

We cannot accept obesity because of how unhealthy it is. We need to treat obesity different from how we treat people who are overweight because there is a huge difference.

You don't need a gym membership to get some exercise. There is so much you can do at home.

I've actually found that eating healthy is cheaper. With the money that costs a pizza and a soda you can eat rice with beans and vegetables at least four times. You can eat two or three pieces of seasonal fruits every day with the money that the average person spends on soda, etc... Eating healthy is cheaper than eating at McDonald's, but you have to put a little effort into cooking, buying seasonal products and meal planning

+Khay Quest23 bullshit. people are fat because they eat too much and move too little

Kali Habeel I've always been overweight to some degree. I take meds for hypothyroidism. I have a really hard time losing weight. I don't drink soda or juice. I don't eat fried foods, fast food. I eat no ice cream, desserts, potato chips...I eat few carbs, little bread or pasta, cheeses occasionally. I love healthy salads and fruits & vegetables. I've lost 30 pounds in the last 4 months by cutting back even more, no mayo, sauces, dips. I get full quickly, I don't pig out on anything. For a snack I will eat a banana, a handful of nuts, a few pieces of dried fruit. I still weigh 228 pounds right now ( after my recent weight loss). My husband can easily eat 10 times more than I can and he's not fat. Frustrating! 😕

You should research more. Try watching sugar the bitter truth. Or look at how the human body reacts to carbs and then look at the food pyramid. Most people are overweight or obese because of government recommendations and the food industry. We are all victims of the food industry even if you are normal weight you could still develop metabolic disease from eating the standard american diet. Try to open your mind a little.

I think the point is that nagging and harassing doesn’t work. It certainly doesn’t work for smoking and alcohol-just ask my family. They nagged me relentlessly about those, along with my weight. And if that was enough, I wouldn’t have had to deal with it for more than one day. It doesn’t work. Regardless of the issue, it doesn’t work.

Mike D At least you admit it and are a proud former fat bastard, most people are so resigned to it that they have gone past the denial stage and are now in the proud to be fat stage, lastly is the depressive stage where they eat more to make themselves feel better which invariably makes them worse. Fat people in general just feel bad every time they take their clothes off or walk around skinny people, they feel shameful that they are the odd one out and my belief is to shame them further, we should make them feel bad because in the long run we are actually doing them a favour by making them think twice before embarking on the daily pilgrimage to every fast food restaurant in their town/City. I tip my hat to you for actually doing something about your weight, I bet you feel a lot better about yourself don't you, well you should, now you have the right to shame and insult fat people like we all do, Kudos!

Mike D Only because you no longer struggle with that anymore...

T Davis No, "fat acceptance" was my enemy.

Mike D Your enemy?...ok

The spoof intellectual you are ohh so wrong

I found the comments about how there would be outrage about racial and ethnic slurs to be disingenuous. America tolerates plenty of racism.

Regarding trans people, they get enough discrimination based on being trans that has very little to do with their actual "private parts". They can't change how they identify- so, their issues are also not comparable with obese people, either.

I think the point is not making people feel so bad about their weight to where they wanna kill themselves? Obesity can be a psychological disorder and it often is, you're not saying people with depression or ocd or anxiety should just "change it", people with anorexia usually can't just "change it" same with an obesity. Regardless, no one should be discriminated again for any choice they make or don't make, for anything they can or cannot change.

Jonathan Alexander Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go - > specialfatlossforwoman.blogspot.com/healthier24

Unfortunately that's not true. There are many pathways to obesity other than food. And unfortunately you are the legacy this video is pointing out, the ignorance and judgement that people have without knowing the person's situation. I wish this video had gotten through to you, but it missed the mark.

Right like that disease which causes people to gain fat from thin air.

Jonathan Alexander Medication can put on weight, PCOS can put on weight. There's a new field of obesogens being studied and confirmed that they exist and make exercise and eating healthy not enough.

PCOS can account for up to 10lbs on a person, same with medications. Using PCOS or any kind of medication as an excuse for being obese is total crap.

Cringe

It's not the same category as smoking or drinking. "Fat driving" doesn't cause accidents like drunk driving, and second-hand smoke causes illness in people around the smoker. Why do you compare them??

Good solution for weight loss.

The fact that everyone has stress in life (including you of course) should make us all more compassionate towards each other. People with different personalities deal with stress in different ways. Some eat, some drink, some smoke or do drugs. Some lash out at others with misplaced rage, like you do. We're all just trying to get along in life, no need to be such a jerk.

I would.

I would

+IcedCoffee81 I agree with you about the name calling but all the illness you listed, except from smokers and bad drivers, pale in comparison to the strain that obesity puts on our healthcare system. Heart attack, cancer, strokes, all of these have a direct correlation with the obesity epidemic. And these are the leading causes of death in America. EVERYONE experiences loss and hardship; you are not special. Taking solace in food is analogous to an alcoholic drinking their problems away.

I went through a battle with anorexia- and it was very expensive. To be real, though, anorexia is quite uncommon and the cost generally are covering things like depression, bipolar disorder, or OCD along with the eating disorder treatment. In our family company, we have two very obese employees. One guy is very hard-working and capable. The other guy is 100% the problem obese employee. Have a job that requires using a ladder or walking? Nope. He can't. It costs the business money. That isn't fat shaming to say his obesity makes him less valuable than he would be at a healthy weight. Nobody is going to make your way for you. Until you learn that your life is your responsibility, you will just be disappointed. I'm not going to be your support system- and neither is anyone else. Be your own support system.

I don't know what world you're living in but people do already point fingers at those groups you mentioned. Hell, I used to be a smoker. I've quit now, but I had a tonne of comments from strangers about my smoking. I also accepted that my lifestyle choice affected my health and at times the comfort of others, just in the same way that obese people should accept that they are making some poor choices and try to change.

You stated why you really have no personal experience with being obese, as you said you were only a couple of kilos overweight. Try being 50 kilos overweight and just stop being lazy. It's not the same thing.

MattMonk Ok maybe its not as I don't know what its like to be 50 kilos overweight. And I may have under exaggerated with the couple kilos part, I was about 10 kilos overweight according to BMI so that is still a lot of extra weight to carry when your not used to it and makes you feel the same way when its first gained (especially as it was a 20 kilo gain as I was 10 kilos lighter then what I am now). I could barely run for 30 seconds and constantly thought about food. So I guess I do sympathise with the addiction they're battling with and how stuck they feel. Its more the public sympathy they think they're owed that I take issue with. They have to accept that they are lazy and week willed when it comes to food and that some people are going to criticise them for it. People make fun of alcoholics and drug addicts, obesity is in that category too.

I disagree, food made you the person you are, In the same way that food made you like this, other types of food will get you out of it, Look up ketogenic diet and carnivore diet, I have improved a lot, in just 5 months, and 2 months eating only meat and lemon juice without any sugar, Sugar is a highly addictive poison, more addictive than cacaine and crack, I'm much better, really, it's worth changing food to change the way of the malnourished mind, good luck friend

Could be because she was obese at one time or had parents who were so she overdoes the opposite so she is trying to help those who are obese with a plan to help them which is amazing! Someone who isn't obese helping and being compassionate to others that are complete opposite of her. It's definitely beautiful to see in such a crappy world.

AND THATS SAD AS HELL THAT GOES TO SHOW YOU ITS A PROBLEM

You are spot on. People need to know what foods to eat that will make them full longer and yet are lower in calories . Like instead of eating fries regularly , eat brown rice and oats . Avoid soft drinks .
