- The denial is REAL with Virgie Tovar and company as they flaunt obesity, deny the consequences, and hide behind a veil of compassion to "defend people" unnecessarily against the oppression of modern civilization...and health...

I work at a spa and people get angry when we don’t have bigger then a 5 x robe.... it’s insane
I went to a spa earlier this year and the robe was HUGE. I was swimming in it. And there were signs saying to ask for a bigger robe if needed. 😮
If you’re too fat to fit into normal human sized clothing you deserve to go without.
I went too er after falling off a motorcycle, I am overweight and working on it but they brought me a bariatric wheel chair to go for an X-ray and I could have sat sideways with my legs up in it. It barely fit through a double door I’m shocked people can let themselves get that big it absolutely is a psychological problem!
Wow these people shouldn’t get mad they should be embarrassed and mad at themselves for this it’s their own gluttonous fault
toga time tell them take sheets from bed or use swissrail curtains
My mother in law weighed a good 400#, she had at least 7 knee replacements, diabetes, ankles messed up, you name it, she had it. When her docs would say she needed to lose weight, she’d find a new one. She ended up having a heart attack (the widow maker) & was told she shouldn’t have lived. She started exercising & eating right, lost a shit ton of weight, her knees are fine, are ankles are fine, and she no longer takes insulin shots. She takes one pill a day for her diabetes. It’s sad that it takes damn near death for some to wake up!
Exactly. People tend to change when it's too late or almost too late.
Do we have the same mother in law? Lol seriously you just described my mil except she hasn’t had any knee replacements
Sarah Joy it’s crazy! When I first got with my BF she was recovering from a damn knee replacement! She weighed too much for them to hold up I guess. The first one would’ve been my wake up call!
What's more sad is when someone would prefer to die cuz they are too lazy.. I'm glad she woke up n is good now :)
Al thank you. I am too. She almost messed around too long!
When I was over 300 pounds I can assure you I was NOT healthy. Now at 258 and I'm getting there.
Good for you,
Hey keep working at it and don't get discouraged.
Congratulations on the weight loss.
Congratulations 💕💕💕💕
Mike Mothers you go ✋🏻👌🏻🌈
“healthy at every size” and global warming just remind me of WALL-E 😔
LOL
shit
Yes! I think if there same movie... Everytime! It's scary because that is the future!
I have been talking about that movie for years. soma people haven't seen it. I saw it with my niece and was so disturbed watching it. She had so many questions after the movie
Yes! And the technology addiction! I think of that movie often.
You may not be able to judge a book by its cover, but the binding is another story. Shove 400 pages in a binding that's meant for 130, you're gonna have a pretty crappy looking book.
flordeamapolita except you are supposed to judge the book by its cover. The art draws you in. It makes you grab the book. It’s a whole business to judge books by their cover but i agree with the rest of what you said.
@@Donteverlook4videos if i judged books by their covers i woulda never read so many amazing books.
I judge books on the blurb😄
I actually never thought about how men don’t jump on the “body positivity” movement, that’s actually very telling of it all. I believe it’s mainly because us women care so much about how we look and appear to other people that when we’re overweight, we get highly insecure. I think that with women shouting “healthy at every size” they are just internally trying to hide their insecurities by finding acceptance.
I’ve struggled with my weight for such a long time, but I am finally getting my life on track. No matter what size I’ve been, I’ve never been a fan of the fat acceptance movement, it truly is so unhealthy to have that mentality. What I do believe in is feeling SEXY at every size, but that couldn’t be further from being healthy. I don’t know, it’s sad truthfully.
Jessica Kennedy I agree, I had to learn to love/respect myself in the skin I was in to build up the determination to care for myself enough to start losing the weight. Self respect is different than self acceptance. When you respect yourself you look to improve in all aspects of life, acceptance makes you stagnant.
Jessica Kennedy Honestly, it’s very similar amongst gay men (I don’t say the LGBTQ community ‘cause I don’t see it happening that often in the bi, trans, lesbian, and queer communities.). I HATED how I look for the first 44 years of my life...so much so that I couldn’t even look at my reflection in the mirror when disrobing to shower. Only in the past few years have I learnt to love myself. 😁 Thanks for the post ‘cause it’s so true.
Love & Aloha from Hawai’i!

Jessica Kennedy it’s because guys can be ugly or fat but still portrayed as attractive or desirable. Just look at movies, tv, etc.
It's because beauty standers are much more openly and aggressively pushed on women by media , their environment and their families. Why do you think it started with the "F your beauty standers " movement
I always get a kick out of it when a man is laughing at a woman and calling her fat when he’s fat himself!
Hit 50 lbs lost in 9 weeks today!!!! Yeah, buddy!!!! 💪🏻🥳
Good job keep up the good work.
So jealous! I have lost 35.7 pounds slow and steady.
@@Noodlepunk good work! Fighting! You can get there!
I’m 14 and lost 30 pounds in two months and now my BMI is normal. Good job my dude 👍👍👍
Nuttin but a peanut 😉
I'm a hospital nurse and about 90% of the people I take care of everyday have lifestyle and obesity induced diseases. It's so sad because its preventable!
Most of the Top 10 causes of death in the USA are food related. Very preventable, indeed!
Sometimes they're so big it takes 6-10 people to move them from bed to table.
I work in a pharmacy and it's really sad to see obese people coming through the drive through picking up blood pressure, diabetes, and statins while eating fast food because they think they can eat whatever because the medication is helping them. They don't even want to lose the weight.
You people should get paid more.
Saddest of all is to see overweight or even obese(!) nurses and doctors.
Was 87kg had back pain stomach pain ect, now 60kg no pain at all
Let’s celebrate I lost 2.5kg in fat and gained 2.3kg in muscle in 4 weeks 🎉
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I think body positivity was great way back when it was a movement pointing out that photoshopping models' bodies into literally impossible proportions and supporting people with disfigurements that were out of their control to be accepted. Now its been hijacked by obese people who are so deep in denial that they want to separate their terrible eating habits and sedentary lifestyle from the consequences.
For me - no thank you. Nutritious food is satiating and delicious if you know how to cook or meal prep. Exercise feels great if you find the exercise you enjoy. Losing weight is possible with commitment and discipline.
That's exactly what body positivity is, and needs to go back to being that way!
I tend to agree with this. Being a fat person myself, who is working on it because my health is at risk and I have three kids who need a healthy mom, like I am okay with the part where they're encouraging good self esteem and caring about/for yourself at whatever size you are, but when you get into the territory of a woman in my situation being told she should not share her before and after pictures as it's fat shaming to others (has not happened to me, but I have seen it in multiple places) then that's too far in the wrong direction.
Well said!!!
I thought I was healthy before, then I lost 10 kgs. Now I know what healthy really is...
I work in the medical field. We are now required to help patients that have a BMI over 30 to start a healthy lifestyle , exercising, eating better, etc. The doctor has to chart that we discussed this with them. Insurance companies don’t want to reimburse doctors/clinics that don’t address obesity now.
Makes sense to only give doctors money that try to reduce the burden on the insurers, you also can't cash in your insurance if you have an accident while tripping balls.
That sounds good. The patient needs to hear the reality of their situation, without the sugarcoating of fat acceptance. Hopefully many succeed with the help of professionals.
In my practice, we have to address it if their BMI is over 25.
I noticed on my paperwork from my doctor that discussing a low carb diet was checked off. We never had that conversation- I’m underweight and have a history of eating disorders and we didn’t discuss anything of the sort. I assumed it was a requirement to check that box.
@@Twinkie989 could be that they check certain boxes automatically. And then talk about stuff depending on what the patients issues are. To you, it wouldn't be wise if the doctor talked about low carb, since it is popular for losing weight fast. They are propably very carefull with underweight people, who have or have had an ed. Hope you are doing ok. 😊
I hate fat acceptance, I'm fat but I'm working on it, I hate being grouped in with those insecure women. They are in a huge state of denial. I know it's not good for me, so I got a personal trainer and now I'm 10 lbs down in a month! Woo!
Congrats pal
Wow, one month ! Awesome job 💪
I'm down 14.5lbs but it took me 2 months. I cannot exercise at the moment because of sciatica but I'm just relieved I've lost anything tbh.
Fantastic results for you so far ❤ keep on going and inspiring people you don't even know you are inspiring - around you IRL and people like me, possibly 1000's of miles away in another country (Ireland in my case) who you will never meet but can draw strength from YOUR strength 🥳🥳🥳
Wonderful job!! You’re doing wonderful! Lots of love! You’re making a good change!
OMGG CONGRATS!! Thats awesome. Keep it up 😍
hows it been ?
I am a obese person working on myself though. Body positivity was supposed to be about loving yourself to the point that u start making healthy choices like working out eating healthy food improving your personal all around health. That doesn’t mean eat yourself in to a worse situation that you are already in. I didn’t really understand the whole fat acceptance thing. I mean yes I am fat and I have a high fat percentage on my body but I don’t hate myself but I am also working on losing the fat until I feel healthy and comfortable in my own skin. I actually have lost some fat. I started at 312 I changed jobs so I could be more active and started working out and making better decisions on food I have got down to 284. I haven’t quit still working on myself
Terea Jenkins you got this!
Progress and consistency is the goal. Losing body fat is just the side effect. Keep that in mind and you will win. Good luck to you.
You go, girl!
Great job and keep it. But also know you don't need to have anything to do with such movements as the one mentioned in the video, because those groups are NOT about being healthy human beings. Stay the course and keep the outside BS at bay. Good job again and keep plugging along.
Love this ❤️❤️❤️
You, every dam day fitness, and my thoughts will probably offend you, is what the youth needs today. Keep up the good fight man love your content💪🏻

I have lost 50 pounds so far on my weight loss journey. So much of getting my act together has involved fixing my mindset and accepting responsibility for my choices. I just can’t with her justifications.

Good job girl.
It’s so true! You just have to call yourself out on your own bullshit. ❤️ Good for you for working so hard, keep it up!
I might have the right to remain fat, but I do not have the desire. I'll be going for a walk now.
That is it!
Story time...
I am a 36 year old man who eats healthy and exercises regularly. I am not overweight. One year ago at age 35 I suffered a massive heart attack that I almost didn't survive. I went into cardiac arrest in the emergency room and had to be resuscitated after my heart and breathing stopped. Obviously I lived or I wouldn't be typing this but the type of heart attack I suffered is what they call a widow maker. Most people don't survive. One thing that stuck with me was when the cardiologist was talking to me weeks later and she very bluntly told me "If you hadn't been as healthy as you were when you had your heart attack you wouldn't have lived." If a healthy 35 year old man can suffer a massive heart attack and barely survive then I can't even imagine what would happen to someone who is obese. I've since been working with my cardiologist and a dietician to closely monitor my diet and incorporating exercise specifically for heart health.
When I say healthy what I mean is not overweight, exercise regularly, and eating a fairly healthy diet. I didn't learn until afterward from my brother that high blood pressure and cardiac issues are common in my family. If I had known I would have taken more precautions to prevent this from happening. Yes, my doctor does know these things now and monitors my health a lot more closely. I lost my parents fairly young and I am estranged from most of my family so that's how I didn't know these things.
Sorry about the length but I thought it important to tell people that even if you can't completely prevent health issues from arising you're overall health can play a big factor in your ability to survive or recover from something life threatening. I was also lucky in the fact that I had just arrived to the ER in an ambulance when I went into cardiac arrest. That helped too.
Bottom line: YOUR WEIGHT AND HEALTH CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE!
Wow... yet these people still think that thing like exercise and such aren’t healthy, just wow.
I don't understand why people don't want to be healthy. You only have one body, treat it like your temple, be healthy, exercise....feel the adrenaline. Wish more people understood the benefits. Be well and sending love
Melinda Empey They don’t want to challenge themselves and push past the mental hurdles it takes to become fit and healthy. They’d rather just “accept” their fat and plus it’s easier to eat and not workout than to consciously eat and workout. It’s sad that people are more inclined to be mediocre in life, in various aspects, than to excel.
@@kilo_charlie0226 I couldn't agree more. Sending love
That’s like saying “I don’t understand why people don’t want to be sober, it’s so much better than being high all the time!”.... of course it’s better, but many of these people have *addictions* to food. They need hard core rehab, not just diets. Obesity is the most deadly epidemic of 10 centuries because it’s widely viewed as innocuous.
@@Rachel_Ryder very true and very well said. Be well
@It's a Bunnay This is so true. I have lost a total of 140 lbs. Up till now and it's taken me two and a half years to do so, but it taught me a healthy lifestyle and I will never go back. I love the adrenaline. Much love
I think this is why my family rejects me. They are fat, sick and depressed but, guess who is not. 😉
Ashley Noelle 😍😍😍😍🎆🎇🎉🎉🎇🎆🎇
Your second cousin? 🤔
Wow...are you Latina btw? I'm getting the same reaction with my own cousins, they are married. Ever seen their wives get all happy and nice when they see me, along with their compliments of my weight loss and how great I look. They don't invite me to their family events. I still have a small gut, but come on! It's not my fault I'm willing to work and sacrifice.
Let’s hope that They change that aspect
But for real being obese is so unhealthy, my mother had to have two knee surgeries and she still has issues with her knees because at the time she was morbidly obese. She lost all the weight and she’s now at a healthy weight (lost over 100+ lbs) and still has issues from when she was obese. Idc what anyone says obesity is not healthy in any way shape or form
I’m in anorexia recovery and love your videos. They really help me stay with me meal plan and not restrict because they inspire me to care for my health and body more than the image my disorder would want. Thank you:)
Virgie tovar : you have the right to remain fat

Evridiki Melachroinou HAHA!!!

Haha this comment ^^ is a joke right
Just thought about throwing my story out there.
I‘m 18 years old, male and have been overweight in my early teens. When I was about 15 years old, I felt bad, I was drousy all the time, I had high blood-pressure and didn‘t look good. That was when I decided for myself that I wanted to change, I wanted to get a grip.
I started with daily pushups, starting with one on the first day, two on the second, so on and so forth. I stopped taking the bus and rode to school on bike instead. I stopped eating junkfood altogether and drank only water, no juice, no softdrinks, nothing. Coke Zero was a fine substitute. After a while, I started developing muscles and became slightly bulky.
One year ago, I started taking building muscle very seriously, I spent my pocket money on multicomponent whey protein powder instead of video games, a hobby that I have sunk many hours in and wanted a new set of dumbbells instead of a new console for Christmas. But in my mind I was still insecure, but on the outside, I was lean and muscular, very attractive to say the least (or so I‘ve been told). Girls started flirting with me, clubbing became more enjoyable by the day and cooking is one of my favorite hobbies to this day.
I work out regularly, I eat healthy and spend most of my time with friends and family. I am today more happy than I‘ve ever been.
The most important lesson I‘ve learned in life is „be yourself your best friend, because good friends tell each other the truth“.
Stay happy
Guys care too. But guys aren't as vocal about it because it makes us look weak. Took me a long time to understand and admit that
People have to separate appearance, attractiveness etc from health issues with being overweight there 2 different topics that the fat exceptence movement all ways seem to roll in to one! Beauty is subjective! Health issues are fact! It's only the health side that is important!
I weigh 300lbs+ (but working on it) and agree with pretty much every word you said.
I think the main problem , like a lot of things, is that the "body positivity" thing has gone to the extreme.
Should obese people be victimised? No.
Should be obese people be made to feel like they're a lesser person? No
But to pretend that being obese is healthy is just stupid.
Haes is stupid. I’ve lost friends over this but after losing 70lbs, along with the lost friends, I’ve lost my pre-diabetes, high cholesterol and hypertension. I hate that I’ve lost friends I thought were my family and I still wish they’d see it’s bs and would join me in the gym. However, You are totally right. It was my female friends. My male friends, even the bigger ones, have been supportive even if they have no intention of getting healthy.
If your friends don't support positive change in your life, you didn't lose them. They lost you.
People can't handle when someone close to them changes for the better cause it slaps their excuses into the air and they have to face the truth about themselves. But rather than face the music and make a change, they rather stay in that echo chamber of excuses and laziness.
You're better off in my opinion. May not feel that way but believe me when I say they are drowning in envy, jealousy and admiration.
@@afrodude4782 Exactly right again. How's the old saying go? "Misery loves company."
@@commonsense5188 right on the money my friend.
if they aint trying to see you do positive hard work and win then they aint your friends there secret enemies
Honestly people like Virgie and Tess Holiday should have all their social media accounts deleted. I am a 5'8 male who used to be 318 pounds now I'm 185 pounds. And I never felt better. I tried to get my mom in shape but she has the same mentality as all the fat acceptance people and she passed away 2 months ago with her weight having a major factor. She could barely move had diabetes and couldn't even stand for long periods of time. What the fat acceptance movement is doing is killing people and the loved ones of those people are the ones who suffer the most.
I wish so badly that this type of content would be shown in schools. People really dont realize the major impact this is having on our society. Coddling and cradling the people who refuse to better themselves is only going to add to the problem. Thanks Swolio for the great content!
35.7 pounds down Papa! 27 pounds more to go!
Why did I expect an Australian accent ?
oi downt knao
Because he looks like the lost hemsworth brother!
Anyone who looks and hears Tovar and says, Yas, I want to be like HER, is freaking nuts.
💯 💯 💯👍🏻
It's all so true. Work in radiology, done people so obese can not even get diagnostic images to help them. All from food and inactivity
We used in the UK we have biger ones now but some are still too to big. It's the breathing that gets me you can hear it the struggle is real
@Mauriscinasa totally correct
Obese to Beast is a great channel, too. Please check it out!
We men, myself included, we know we're fat. We know it's not healthy. We just don't care about how we look as much as women do. That's how this whole movement took place. Image. From that insecurity, instead of changing themselves, they are forcing others to accept that fat is beautiful. What they do not realise is that it's not an image issue. It's a health issue.
I was 13 and had issues with my ankles and knees, I was also almost *200 pounds* ... I've only lost around 30+lb. Those issues have now *dissapeared*
Sooo many people say to me they prefer to be with someone with a "Dad bod" over someone shredded and physically very active like my partner and it always baffles me! Why would you literally want someone you love to be unhealthy?!
I’m in the military and I see people that are big like their uniforms are screaming big and it baffles me when they get upset if you mention it
I served with a JAG attorney who was so big, he had to have his uniforms made.
@@michelleayres5608 oh my 😮
I have struggled with my weight and eating disorders for years. I am 53 years old and now seriously being effected by my bad decisions of the past. Being fat is not cute, it's not fun, and if someone is screaming from the rooftops how wonderful it is, they are lying to themselves. I can tell you one thing for sure. If I could change the past, I ABSOLUTELY would have taken better care of my body. Thank you for teaching young people to be proactive. I am working very hard to change. I have lost 50 plus pounds eating healthy and
moving my fat ass!
Keep doing what you do! If you save one person...it is worth it.
I just discovered you and I can't believe it's taken me this long! You are captivating and clearly so balanced! Thankyou for being the voice of truth!
I'm a RN. And it upsets me how even professional in the medical field are obese when we should be the prime example of health. I totally agree with you on this
My mom is a doctor, and she said exactly this. XDDD
@@inkslaboratory3010 that's awsoume. Glad we can agree
@@jazzminleon8127 It's just a common sense thing really. ^^
When I don’t want to workout I just listen to one of your videos while driving to the gym and BAM I’m hyped.
The best and most eloquent video I've seen on this topic 👏
I think fat acceptance is mostly supported by women because of the way that our bodies are viewed by a lot of people. There is undoubtedly a lot of pressure for women to look a certain way, and I think a movement that says that all bodies are beautiful appeals to a lot of people for that reason. It's sort of a way to say "screw you, men. I'll be fat if I want to". I mean, as an avid lifter with a healthy bf%, I STILL feel self conscious about my body at times. I think members of the body positivity movement need to understand that they can get healthy for themselves, not for others. Losing weight probably feels like "giving in" to a lot of people.
Good point and I agree with you. But you are only "giving it" to yourself when you are obese, then get hypertension, cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, are out of breath and eventual premature death. Most overweight people are angry at the world because of a trauma in their childhood that makes them overeat, and they don't have the energy and mobility to enjoy life to the fullest. What I am saying is they are only hurting themselves even if they want to 'stick it' to society.
That's the same concept as cutting off your nose to spite your own face. You're only hurting yourself at the end of the day and I wish these women would understand this concept.
Wow. I feel so lucky. Where I live in Colorado pretty much everyone looks great. I probably see 200 people a day getting a workout in at the gym or out and about- running, cycling, rock climbing, skiing, snowboarding, hiking- whatever. I love always seeing so many active people all of the time! Not doubting your observations at all! I've heard the stats a million times. Just happy that I see something different.
Lowest obesity rate in the nation. Very proud to be a Coloradan.
Just moved out here. Can confirm. Also on my mountain bike every day
I used to be a model but i got really ill and HAD to take some medicine that made me fat and believe me NOTHING IS POSITIVE WHILE BEING FAT
So glad I can across your channels, excited to listen to your Podcasts!!
This is the best video I have seen by you so far. So on point! Awesome content!
I also get annoyed when people say weight gain is part of aging. I’m aware it can get harder to keep weight off as you age, but people think it’s totally natural to put on a lot of weight. I live in the Midwest and it is so rare to find a man or woman over the age of 30 that does not have a gut. It’s so discouraging. But my 35 year old boyfriend has been consciously eating healthy for the past decade and looks fantastic and significantly younger than nearly all of his peers.
Lydia Waring I’ve always been very slim. All through my life people who said to me that I’ll be fat one day. They said once I’ve had children, once I’m over 30, over 40, over 50, past the menopause. Well I’ve passed all of those and am still slim - I’m 5 foot 8 and weigh 124 pounds - the same size as when I was in my teens. I’m determined never to get fat!
I believe the age factor you're talking about just comes from enhanced laziness as the average person gets older. Using the age factor is just a sly, convenient cop out to avoid having to do anything to better ones self outside of reporting to your daily 9-5 and then going home to sit in front of the TV. Rinse, repeat.
Common Sense I agree. I make exercise one of my top priorities in life. I can’t afford to go to a gym but walk 60-70 miles a week (including after work on work days) and exercise at home.
Elaine ch63 Get it, Elaine! 👍🏻
I couldn’t agree more about how people group all of these social justice issues in one. It’s honestly annoying. Just because I’m against the fat acceptance movement doesn’t mean I’m anti feminist 🤦🏻♀️
I love your channel which is why I started listening to your podcasts.. You need more content like this on there.. Maybe some guest speakers? Great shit bro
I really appreciate your honesty...much of my family has heart issues and type II diabetes. I have family members who have gone blind, have had strokes and amputations because of something so PREVENTABLE. So far this month I've lost almost 10 pounds. I'm feeling so much better. I have a long way to go but it's good to know I'm making lifestyle habit changes to better my life! 💪🏽
Speaking of more delusion: How's about Tess Holiday's use of Photoshop...but #EffYourBeautyStandards right?!
{Lauren chen did a video on it.}
Your message comes across with complete grace and sincerity. Amazing! This message requires spreading!
I totally agree with you 💯 Thanks for the video 😊
At my heaviest (250lbs) I felt absolutely terrible! I had prehypertension, borderline diabetes, and anxiety. Even though I got diagnosed with PCOS after having my second child, I changed my mindset for my children and myself. I now weigh 189lbs, and went from a size 20 to 14. I'd be lying if I told you weight loss with hormonal imbalances is easy. It's achievable with extra hard work! There is no excuse to be overweight. If I can lose 61lbs in a year with PCOS ANYONE can do it! I had to subscribe to your channel because you make valid points! Thank you!
As someone who’s had a 70pound loss and is still going my life feels so much better now. I’m still on a weight loss journey but I’m able to actually enjoy normal activities like walking far in the summer without keeling over and wearing layers without overheating.
It makes me cringe when I see stuff from Tess or Vergie because I used to be like that a bit when I was at my highest, a lot of this movement comes from a high self insecurity while not wanting to admit that they have the problem. It’s hard to get help when you don’t want it or aren’t ready for it yet. It’s easier to just fake the problem away when you fill that space with feel good acceptance. It’s not healthy but like me I just didn’t want to accept that something was wrong with me. A lot of the time it takes getting to reality inducing rock bottom to actually make a change for the better.
I’m only saying it from my experiences with this and there’s a lot more to it but hey here’s my daily comment rant.
Swole, were you in the military?
No, but my thanks and respects to everyone that does, past and present.

I honestly really like your videos. Over the last year I’ve lost about 30 lbs and right now I feel the best I ever have. Even tho I wasn’t a massive 300 lb woman, I was 170 lbs and I was so ashamed of my body I didn’t want to go outside or clothes shop or do anything physical. I’ve been learning to take better care of myself, but your videos make me want to strive for more and learn to really love and care for my body. Thanks for speaking up for health and against the whole HAES movement. It’s really refreshing.
I love the clips from the office and parks and rec.! Such good shows
I love that you slipped clips from the office in this vid.
The irony for me is I'm trans and I started losing weight partly for my overall health but mostly so I can start hormone therapy and get surgery in the future. I never want to be the weight I was again I could cry over the difference between my past photos and how I am now.
When I was pregnant with my 3rd child I had gestational diabetes. One of my nutritionist said, if you dont loose weight after this baby is born you will have type 2 diabetes. At that point I was 277lb! I am 5'5, so it was a high BMI! Under their guidance I ended up loosing 11lb in pregnancy and having a full term 8lb baby. After the baby was born I stayed on the diet and started walking. He is almost 2 now, and I have tweaked the diet to fit my current needs. But I am happy to say my current weight is 208lb. My A1C number is now down to the low 4's. I feel so much better! Channels like yours remind me I never want to going back to eating whatever I want.
I have a lot more to loose but my goal is never be Obese again!
@@OhSheetOnIt I am aware of that. My last sentence stated I know I have more to loose, which I am slowly working towards. My goal weight is 170lb.
So well put xx
I was "only" 250, a size 18, and was suffering all the effects. (Many people in the fat acceptance movement are well above 250 and size 18, I used to be part of that and they considered me to have "thin privilege" lollll.) I started losing weight, noticed how it was easier to move at 240. It's significantly easier to do everything now that I'm down to 200. I can't wait to see how much better I'll feel once I hit 190, 180, 170, maybe lower. I have health conditions (non-weight related) that cause chronic pain, along with fatigue and other symptoms, so I can't afford to have any extra weight or not take care of my health. At least I get it now. The point of my rambling is that I want people to know that even 10 lbs lost along with a healthy lifestyle will make you feel better mentally and physically, especially if you have any type of health issues/ disabilities.
I dig it. My 2 cents.. They needed a hug from YOU growing up. Instead, they recieved it from Haagen-Dazs.
Exactly. Food in place of reassurance, constantly, and this is the result
Great video man. You are so right. For some reason, people don't seem to strive for greatness anymore. Everyone has just given up. I'm sure there are many reasons for this, like realizing that the American dream is a bag of lies, but we all need to try to be a little better in some way every day. What else do we have as a purpose in life if not improving our chances of survival on a daily basis?
100% agree fam, late to the vid, but im 60lbs over weight and im trying hard to loose it because of the threat of type 2 diabetes. Im 50lbs down just gotta keep up my consistency. You inspite me lol so keep making them vids and ill keep tuning in.
Keep going dude
Yoga session, cooking sweet potatoes watching Papa Swolio getting knowledge nuts on a Sunday Morning....doesn't get much better❤
One of your best so far. As a person with Crohn's, I can't have whole grains and fresh veggies. So I'm mostly carbs and chicken and fish. I can be overweight given that diet but I'm not for 1 simple reason. Calories in vs calories out. End of story. Even when I had a full blown flare last year, I worked hard to maintain my weight because losses make it worse. How? Maintaining the right calories in the face of what was happening. Hard but doable. You are so right, don't worry about what others think.
My body turned on me at a young age when I got diagnosed with Crohns. I wasn’t overweight but the disease still forced me to completely change my health, and crazy enough I view it as a blessing in disguise now to stop trashing my insides. It honestly bothers me to see people continue to treat their body like a dumping ground because they don’t realise how easily shit can change one day. But then someone/something else will become the new enemy for them to point at. Thank you for the honesty in the video.
The thing about the dad bod is that my dad never had a body luke that. He’s always tried to get out and take walks. When I was little he sometimes clumbed trees with me. My mom too tries to keep in shape. She bicycles regularly. I was really lucky that I grew up in a family that values health and fitness. They drove me to endless sporting events as a kid despite being very buisy people. They also made a point of eating home cooked meals together. It’s left me with good habits now that I’m off to collage.
I'm fat, and I agree with everything you said. I have lost weight (40lbs so far) because of health issues, and am feeling so much better.
I loathe Virgie. 😒
Your stance on motivation has helped me get back on the fitness bandwagon. I haven't felt motivated all week, but I have still worked out.
I felt if I continued waiting for motivation I would continue to put back on the weight I lost, and lose the muscle I built up.
That's fire!!!
I went from obese to athlete in 18 months and I've decided to now help people. I met a woman at the gym that I am now helping her to lose the last 15 pounds shes struggling with. Getting better and helping people is just part of being human.
‘Welcome to science’
Welcome to logic and common sense
Firstly, I am obese but, I'm not and never have been part of the healthy at every size ideology. However in my opinion and based on my experience I think women are more in this "movement" because, women traditionally been valued by society based on our looks. My own family has told me that my value is based on the kind of man I attract. If I attract a good looking man with a good career then I have more value than a woman who attracts an average guy with a blue collar job. This was pounded into me from birth pretty much. I remember my sister was put in a pageant and when I was eligible 2 years later my grandma said "Oh, honey you have to be pretty in one of those." I was like 4 or 5. So, I was already being told I was ugly and valueless at that age. And having little self worth I emotionally ate and ended up obese. And unfortunately that idea was reinforced all through my life by peers. It has taken me until my 20s for me to actually value myself, my life, and my body enough to try to lose the weight and get healthy. I still get what the fat acceptance would call "fat shaming" and yeah it hurts especially when I am working hard to lose weight and have actually been successful lately. And my self-esteem takes a blow but, I repeat my mantra and move on. But, I never remember fat guys in school getting bullied. Primarily because, they were athletes actually. Think football players who work out but, can sit and eat an extra large pizza to themselves. I think in some ways it has always been more acceptable for men to be fat than women. So I think that's where the gender divide comes in. Just a thought.
While I agree with that statement, I believe society overlooks the fact men feel exactly the same way. Difference is they don't address the issue publically like women do and just either accept their bodies or lose the weight. I would like more light to be shined on this subject. However this doesn't take away that women have this issue in society. Just a thought.
Just found your channel, great content here. Its not just america, its worldwide now. Wish I had seen this 25 years ago. Might have shaken me out of my mindset that pervaded my life until this year. But life has improved losing 67lb this year. I have not come this far to only come this far.
Always speaking the truth, love it
So being skinny and fit is my alien right?...
L C yeah😂
According to the FA movement, your being skinny and fit is problematic, a trigger to others, depriving yourself to satisfy The Patriarchy and Diet Culture, so clearly it's better to gorge yourself until you're sick and immobile
Yep 👍 tell me about it 🙄😒
its not about being skinny and fit,sure if you are happy the way you are, stay that way but please understand that being overwieght can cause a lot of issues. Same with being too skinny, both extremes cause a lot of damage if not dealt with.
That book's pretty much promoting lack of self-discipline
💯 💯 💯 thank you for speaking the truth.
I was brought up to think for myself since 1970. You, Sir, are fantastic ❤️🥰❤️
I work in corporate America and pretty much every man over 40 and most over 30 have a gut....it is scary
I workout not only to lose weight but not to have chronic pain, which I have now, when I’m in my 80’s. Also you can’t deny those wonderful endorphins‼️
I appreciate that you mentioned that there are some people that have had a medical issue that was not caused by something we did but has had a negative impact on our weight. I have always been healthy and never had a problem with weight until 2012 when I had my first of 3 abdominal surgeries. The first to remove my uterus that was being engulfed by a fibroid (no cause of my own) the second surgery that was 368 days later to remove both ovaries due to cysts (no cause of my own). At which time they discovered I had developed severe abdominal adhesions to the extent that the surgery was stopped and a specialist was called in and they had to cut through the adhesions (also discovering I had JUST developed a bowel obstruction. Which can cause death if it were to rupture). Two years after that in 2015 I had my third abdominal surgery (lysis of adhesions) to remove the adhesions once again. The result of having been cut hip to hip 3 times and the aftermath of it (abdominal adhesions for life that also cause sever pain constantly as well as issues with digestion since my upper and lower colon is frozen in a mass of scar tissue). Three abdominal surgeries that caused major trauma has left me dealing with weight issues and constant pain (there is no cure for adhesions). BUT I am finally to a point where the pain is manageable and I’m trying really hard to drop the weight gained after all of the above. I do not think you can “judge a book by its cover” because anyone who looks at me today would probably think I’m lazy and my weight is all my own fault when in fact my body doesn’t digest food properly (leafy greens are the worst on a frozen colon), I was unable to exercise for a very long time due to healing from surgery after surgery, and even now exercise at times causes a lot of pain and discomfort because the adhesions pull on my organs and inner wall of my abdomen.
All that said, it makes me so mad when people do this whole fat acceptance crap. My weight gain has changed my life and not for the better! I’m exhausted all the time. My back & knees hurt from the weight. I get out of breath just climbing stairs. Do I think we need to have compassion for those whose weight was caused by a medical issue, yes. Do I think those who are overweight because of a medical issue need support and guidance to help them lose weight, yes. Do I think we should judge someone for being overweight without knowing their story, no.
I think obesity is a mental health issue for most people.
I am slowly losing the weight. It is a daily struggle just to push through the constant pain and workout. But I know if I don’t push myself I’ll succumb to a life of health issues caused by my weight. I think we have become a nation of acceptance when we need to be a nation of common sense and knowledge instead.
Remember the next time you see a fat person in a gym, you don’t know their story so have compassion for them, they are trying to get their life back through hard work and sometimes at the cost of being in actual physical pain at the gym. At least they are trying.
I’ve just started working in a small local grocery store and it’s astounds me how many people come in who have breathing machines or prescriptions in their hands from the pharmacy, who are struggling to breath and walk, and they’re buying vast amounts of junk food! It breaks my heart.
Life tip for body positive individuals:
Diet culture exists because obesity exists.
Ummm, you have a Tarzan handsome quality to you. Subbed.
Grašak Fairy agree!
The more I lose weight (I’ve lost 50 pounds so far) the more I get angry about these fat acceptance folks, especially because I was one of them. I sure had the right to be 250 fucking pounds at 5’2” at the age of 17 and that also gave me the right to struggle getting off a fucking couch! I’m not even slim I’m still 190 but I’m genuinely amazed by the HUGE difference in just how easy it is for me to do the simplest shit that I shouldn’t have had a problem doing as a TEENAGER. No one is trying to say we should treat them differently because they’re fat. If I went to my doctor and he was like “You’re at risk for diabetes, you should lose some weight” I’m going to go lose some fucking weight (which I did) because they’re a fucking doctor and know what they’re talking about.
TL;DR This movement is cancer. Because there’s not enough movement!
U is crazzzy swolio!!!Luv ur channel and u!!!!!lmbo!
WEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.........
🎵IT’S PAPA SWOLIO, PAPA SWOLIO🎶
That’s my theme song while I drive to the gym!!!
Why don't we ever hear anything about moma swolio, his mate?
Your right about most Americans men have big guts especially in my age over 40 that's why I date Arab american and Indian american men they tend to eat healthier and workout my Indian boyfriend is in his 50s and fit as a fiddle
That's not really true. We eat rice and bread with everything and our foods are damn oily
Lol I live in Saudi Arabia where most of their diet consists of rice...bread and fried chicken and if you look around you can tell so gonna have to disagree on that also
I moved from NYC to Denver and the first thing I noticed was all the "dough boys". So many pudgy and outright obese dudes. Even a lot of thin guys still have a noticeable gut. It's from sitting in a car and driving everywhere. In NYC you walk everywhere and you don't see it as much.
It’s a letting yourself go culture. I hate it. It comes in all colors though. I see these men and women who love themselves letting themselves go so much younger than me and it makes me sad.
stopglobalswarming someone needs to get laid
Great vid man. I agree with everything you've stated. People all too often willingly ignore the facts of obesity because it's easier than taking control and get healthy.
My knee pain started when I was 13!! It's painful. My doctor said what I need more than medicine is daily exercise and maintaining a normal weight, and proper nutrition with calcium, vitamins etc. I was not even obese, just needed a healthy diet and to move more.I've changed my diet, I don't need calcium sup now. Heathy food and active live is really important, for every people.
