Skinny shaming in my opinion.
When you talked about the tall people in planes and clothes size.....wow man. I'm muscular and tall and got big feet lol. I got a hard time finding clothes and shoes and I'm healthy!! But I don't complain....smh👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Both are equally bad. Fatshaming is just the one you hear more screaming about.
Both are bad, but skinny shaming is so widely accepted that people see it as a good thing. So maybe skinny shaming is worse because people hypocritically don't see that as an issue.

Skinny shaming is relatively new, hasn't had time to become systemic 🤷♀️
I was obese and I was “too skinny”. I was both. And I got skinny shamed WAAAAAAAY more than fat shamed. As dumb as it sounds. Skinny shaming is so common no one notices. Idk what is this chick talking about tbh.
@Koatei Harven what a mood
exactly.....nowadays im skinny, both ways i have self-hatred....people say shit all the time, fuck them....just stay healthy any way it is
@Koatei Harven yesss goth lord!!!
You are so right.I am about 13 kg overweight (working on it ofc) and no one shames me.My cousin is like 15 kg underweight and people comment on his appearance regularly
Christina G. I feel this tbh. On my previous job I got harassed daily because I was “too skinny” (I was never underweight tho). They would call me Snow White because I liked to eat red apples after lunch and I had really white skin like ?????? They would be SCREAMING I swear “THERE GOES SNOW WHITE READY TO EAT HER APPLE HAHAHAHA”. It was funny at first but after a while it became horrible. I felt so self conscious all the time. I HATED to share lunch break with more people so I would go eat somewhere else to not get teased. Good thing I don’t work there anymore...
Things I can do after losing 60 pounds of fat:
-go to a concert without ankle pain
-play with my kids
-sleep through the night
YOU CAN DO IT! Never give up I believe in you!
Hell yea
This woman was part of a BBC3 documentary called ‘Who are you calling fat’. Half of the group was pro fat, the other half were trying to lose weight and were unhappy with their size. During one episode, an amputee was speaking to them about how his weight caused him to have to lose his leg. She left the conversation.
I remember that it was so disrespectful and ridiculous
I'm obese (I don't look obese but I am) and I hate that when I say to some friends like "I wanna lose some weight" and they immediately say "But why? You look so good! You're thick" it really bothers me, because I wanna lose weight to be healthier and feel better and maybe that will help my depression and people immediately assume it has to do something with my appearance 🙄 Like I really want to get better and they, my "friends" just want me to stay the same :(
I feel you. Even my friends do the same and I am 250 pounds and am 5 foot 8 inches but still.
Edit: sorry I had to fix my grammar.
@@theabbychronicles-p yeah, like, I know I'm fat so what? It's just a fact it's not a slur or something :/ we need to get better friends
Oh totally like I'm starting to get better with saying no to take out cause of the pandemic but before the pandemic it was ridiculous. As for one of my friends we literally would eat out all day together and it's really time I either talk to her about us enabling each time or reevaluate my friends.
Some people look good when they are thick some don't. May be your friends like the way you are.
@@rubikaliyaqat so what? I don't care what people like, or if they like or not how I look, I care about MY health.
The goal is to get healthy and encourage active lifestyles. Being obese is awful.. an uphill battle. Nobody should be encouraging obesity.
Agreed, but airplanes seats are too fucking small.
EXACTLY.
I’ll never understand why obesity is seen as being healthy. Growing up on my reservation, Native Americans like obese people but what they don’t realize is that diabetes, heart problems and other issues can occur when being obese. It’s sad because diabetes is the number one killer for natives because of their obesity. Not to mention a majority them don’t watch what they eat and still continue to drink which then leads them into having to get dialysis 3 times a week. They don’t care to take care of themselves. Sorry if this was a downer but I witness it on a daily basis. Can’t even begin to tell you how many people I have lost to diabetes in just a YEAR!
I grew up next to the Pima rez in AZ, it was the same situation there. There's a lot of being too fat to be able to take care of homes or themselves, even the wealthy ones that were getting money from the casino looked VERY sick. They would have parties in local parks, and the food would all be soda and fry bread and everyone would be morbidly obese; even the children. My volleyball team chose not to play against their schools because they were too unfit to be low level competitive. It's SO sad. And I've met lots of native advocate types that are acculturated into the leftist upper class sphere who blame white subjugation for it; it never made sense to me because what I saw growing up was that the unhealthiness is part of the Pima culture, and pride in the culture, so indirectly there was pride of being that unhealthy.
Poor cultures like obesity and rich cultures dislike obesity, That's because in poor palces obesity is a sign of wealh while in rich places obesity is a sign of poor self-control.
None really matters anymore because now days it's easier for a poor person to get fat thx to fastfood being cheaper then for a rich person who can afford a healthier diet.
A D Sadly it’s something that will take a very long time to try and change. And as much as I want that change now those natives will never ever listen. It’s also sad how how leaders teach these habits to the younger kids and I don’t think they realize the harm.
A D I also want to make a note that yes the natives still blame the white people. Which this has nothing to do with them no more. It’s on us to change, not them. Yes I understand that it’s lead us where we are today but we had so much time to change these bad things around. I will never blame anyone for my mishaps. If I’m unhealthy it’s because I put myself in that situation. Luckily I am not obese and I do take care of myself because I do not want to end up like everyone else on the reservations.
@@jeyceezepeda5821 you are beautiful inside and out
Her point about the world "being made for small bodies" is so inherently stupid it makes my head hurts. Chairs are built after standards: they take the average size of a human and adapt to that to sell the most products. This is the equivalent of people with big feet complaining that stairs are too narrow for their clown shoes. As for airplane seats companies are doing everything to save costs and increase benefits, anyone who flew in the 90s remembers how much more space we used to have back then.
Also even then being 400lbs would have you take 2 seats, it's nothing new. These people are so egocentric they don't even realize how annoying it is to sit next to someone whose fat rolls are literally trying to invade your personal space at all times during a flight. I'd also argue that flights are *much* more uncomfortable for tall people, who, 100% of the time, did not choose to be that size (unlike fat people) and have to deal with their knees being crammed into the sit in front of them with no recourse.
Yo, I'm short, and if anything most things are built for us. Shit sucks for tall people. They can't fit ANYWHERE, and that's not just true in America, if they travel, and are just large by nature, forget it. They can't go into temples, they can't go into catacombs, etc, etc. We can't reach shit, that's mostly it. Imagine always kissing your knees in every seat. Now, THAT would SUCK! And, guess what, that's also true for skinny tall people.
Also, subbed you OP. Seriously impressive gains, brother! Keep it up!
@@TropicalPriest as someone who is under 5', things are definitely not built for me. It's sort of a dream of mine to be wealthy enough to have a kitchen built with low enough counters. But when it comes to clothes, it is easier to cut fabric than it is to add some.
@@lilliputian2 I'm 5'3" and kitchens are really not built for us. Cabinets are my nemesis
@@lilliputian2 That's true, you're all correct about cabinets. But, think about how much easier it is to ride public transport, for example. At least if you don't end up getting squashed.
You're correct in saying a lot of things aren't "built for us". I can't reach plenty of shit. If you want a small kitchen, you might consider moving to Asia. I'm not being flippant when I say that either. Things are smaller there, because the people are generally shorter.
I travel a lot, so my considerations are more around the ability to get from place to place. I think to a certain threshold, the smaller you are, the easier it can be in certain ways. I'm certainly not saying it's ideal or perfect.
Also, I'm not sure I agree with your notion about fabric, it's common sense. But, when I was very underweight, I had an extremely hard time finding clothes that were in the adults section.
I'm not sure if you've ever sat next to someone who is 6'3" on an international flight, but it will certainly garner some sympathy if you do.
Oh. And, I honestly have to get my gf to pull shit from the top cabinet sometimes, because I'm a tiny manlet, so I get you.
I am a ex-obese woman of 6ft 3in weighing 200lbs. In my old gym i could not do certain exercises because i was too heavy (300lbs). Now in my new gym i cannot do some exercises because i am too tall. My new gym is def tall-phobic.
I got to where I couldn't stand at concerts cause the ankle pain was unbearable. Concerts without seats are fatphobic.
LMAOOO my gym is short-phobic. I can’t use some machines comfortably because I’m too short and can’t reach anything. I feel u gurl 😞
@@dimariatrash5997 same here...it's a struggle
6'8" 330 lbs strong man here, and i fit in NOTHING. I feel your pain
@@dimariatrash5997 Yes! This exactly! It used to suck but the barbells are my friend now.
Well, heres some of the "systemic oppression" that I've faced when I was sickly skinny: Being denied certain medical treatments because my body was to weak to handle it. Being denied access to a mental health facility because my BMI was to low. The doctor telling me Im gonna die before I reach the age of 30 if I keep doing what I was doing. Not being able to find clothes. Being stared at. My boyfriend being told he's a pedophile for being with me and my childlike body etc etc etc.
Life isnt always easy, sometimes truth hurts and some people are judt trash, but crying about it wont help, taking responsibility will.
Damn I'm so sorry for the pain you went though, honestly these fat activists should really talk to someone like you, it'll hopefully open their eyes more.
@@sweetenlemons8659 its fine, I'm ok now and much healthier :) In the past I often tried to debate fat activists online but I don't think its helping. I don't want to make anyone angry or hurt their feelings because I know what its like to have bodyimage issues or issues with food, its extremly hard to overcome. I guess I'm just not the right person for that, I have a lot of empathy for them even though sometimes the shit they spread frustrates me to the bone, but I've never been overweight and when I try to talk to them all they see is a skinny, white girl, so what could I know about anything?
Last year I was in the obese category, I didn’t “look” like it but I felt it. I was at 180lbs at 5’4 and everything felt heavy, from my steps to my breathing but once I started losing weight my energy was amazing and I felt like I could do anything :) I’m down to 151 and I’m still currently trying to lose more
thats almost exactly what im going thru now. I'm 5'4 and this past winter i shot up to almost 180 (like 178 was my highest weight ever) i am usually 135 and 130-135 is my goal weight. i've been working on it and back to about 155 now, but still have 20 lbs to go to get back to where i know is my healthiest and best weight. it sucks because i know once im at 135 that i can maintain it, have for years and thats my general weight is 135, and maybe occasionally fluctuating up to 140 tops , yknow how women kinda go up and down (water weight, hormones, whatever) but i usually stay between 135 and 140 and im fine with that as long as i'm generally sticking to the lower end and dont go OVER 140. ive lost the weight down to 155 tho and right now i seem to have hit a plateau for the past 2 weeks or so i've weighed myself every day and literally stayed exactly the same. i dont feel like im really eating that much but trying to figure out what i can cut out and where i can maybe increase my energy levels and exercise (i have chronic pain and chronic fatigue syndrome/fibromyalgia so its hard to increase activity levels but i'm going to have to figure out what is holding up the process so i can get back to my normal weight.) definitely, like you, feel uncomfortable in my body at this weight.
@@ariannasantina Just here to say good job on the first 20 lbs! Don't lose hope!
@@ApequH aww thanks so much! i definitely wont, i'm working on it still and I actually grow my own organic gardens so i'm about to have some super healthy home-grown food to eat too, as well as the exercise and work it takes to grow that food (tho tbh ive already done most of the work at this point now its just weeding and stuff so i've gotta find another form of exercise lol... early spring i kickass and thats probably how i lost that big chunk of weight was just all the work it took to get my garden going (can see my gardens on my youtube channel if you're into organic farming+lifestyle) but now the actual workload is starting to slow down and with that i'm also hitting a plateau in my weight loss. i'm a massage therapist as well but i've been out of work due to covid too.... i think i'm going to figure out how to start my business back up soon if only just to keep myself active lol!
I am a formerly obese First Nations ("Native American") woman. At my highest weight I was a minimum of 210lbs (I refused to step on a scale and lived in denial after I hit 200lbs, but I know I weighed more than that), but because of a pre-existing medical condition (extremely flat feet--runs in the family, "it's a native thing" apparently) my weight absolutely killed my joints. I couldn't stand. I could barely walk. Every step was absolute agony. When I tore my hip flexor on a hike, I didn't even realise until it had started to heal improperly because I was so used to being in pain that I just thought it was another ache. Even after after losing the weight (I lost at least 90lbs to get down to 120lbs, then focused on building muscle back up and I am now at a lean 145lbs) my joints and my hip still give me grief, but I can do so much more. I can walk (in fact I love walking, I walk so much people who used to outpace me now can't keep up, because I'm just so drunk on the fact that I CAN walk without keeling over after five minutes)! I can stand! I still deal with chronic pain, but it's manageable! Turns out I'm also a very small person, which is another reason why being that much weight was murder on a frame that just couldn't take it. I can literally do so many things that I could never do before, and my confidence has just skyrocketed. I can hike! I can do cardio for hours without stopping if need be! I can trudge up and down stairs without wanting to puke! So many things! I've had people come up to me and tell me that I'm their inspiration for losing weight and getting healthy. I still have bad days and I still struggle with emotional/binge-eating, but the progress I've made... I never want to go back to what I was. I am AFRAID of going back to what I was. If that makes me fatphobic, then so be it. I was born with a congenital heart defect; it's important that I keep strong and fit and healthy, which is why I do a lot of cardio, because for me, personally, cardiovascular fitness is a matter of life and death. I will never, /ever/ go back to that, which is why I am trying so hard to keep my eating under control. It's hard because my family doesn't get it (they got used to me being obese and so think my "tracking" is unhealthy--in fact I was body shamed way more when I was 120lbs than I was at 210+) and I've had to do everything on my own as a result, so the lack of community is really, really hard sometimes, but I'm still going, even with some setbacks. Be the change you want to see in yourself. It's just... it's life-changing. My ENTIRE outlook on life has changed. I even went to law school! I feel like a completely new, different, BETTER person. My relationships with the people around me improved too, after I stopped being a bitter HAG because they were fit and healthy and I was not. Your health is worth it. Your health is worth everything. It will change your life for the better, and it's why I don't tolerate the sort of mindset promoted by individuals like "Fierce Fatty". She would have told me to keep eating until I died. That's reprehensible. So all the best of luck to those out there still on their journey--I know I am! Don't listen to this drivel. Cheers 🖤
Every time I feel lazy and consider skipping a workout, I watch a compilation of Amberlynn, Foodie Beauty, Virgie Tovar and Papaswolio commenting on them and BAM! It is like the most potent pre workout ever!
Nah, a break up text is the forbidden pre. That works to though.
I’m a hobbit (5’0” for reference), I can’t reach the top shelf at grocery stores! I’ve never complained about it. Categorizing fat people is just another way for them to show how “oppressed” they are. When in reality they did it to themselves, and they then blame everyone else for their problems.
Let’s not forget our feet reaching the rest on pub chairs. I am 5’2 in a good day.
Yes!! I sit on couches and chairs before buy them to make my feet touch the ground. I will never have an oversized couch as comfy as they may look.
4'11" here (unfortunately 161 lbs and slowly losing). I jokingly say "omg theyre short shaming me" at my job or if im with friends if I cant reach something or shelves not being short person friendly. They know im just kidding and find it funny. I make my shortness work and dont complain about it either.
Hey were the same height lol
4’10 anyone
I use to be a part of The Fat Positive Movement and let me tell you, these people are bullies & very nasty. I've attended events and felt so disrespected. It was liked I was in high school again; everyone was catty & super elites. I love how they talk about "everybody" but yet , in person, most of the leaders of this movement have a "holy then thou" attitude. Smh. Nothing positive about it.
If you get a second, look up model Rosie Mercado. She was morbidly obese and decided to lose the weight. The fat positive movement sent her death threats! Death threats! For trying to be healthy. Insane!!!
Wow, they are very angry people...they need to accept themselves first I think.
@Battle of the Binge yeah! I didn't believe it either but it was document on Rosie's page. What's even scarier, is she not the only one who's been threatened for losing weight. Smh. The Fat Positive Movement is like a cult.
@@francescarey242 agreed! They need to be exposed for their hypocrisy.
I use to be fat. I was around 180s - 190s I'm now under 130 and weight lift and run on the regular, and truly enjoy it. I would never go back. Not only am I healthier now, before I couldn't even walk a mile with out getting horrible side cramps and feel like I was dying but I was never happy and was always tired. Now I have energy, I'm almost always in a good mood and get much less headaches. I will never get the body I always want due to my loose skin that sits at my lower abdomen area. But I'm ok with that now, I still love who I am now and I love my life style and the way I eat. A person doesn't need fast food or alcohol to be happy. And fun fact when you eat healthy you don't feel hungry all the time. Who knew. Lol
I worked in the rental car industry for years. It pissed me off when a morbidly obese person would come in with an economy car reservation, give the car they reserved, and would complain they couldn't fit. I'd offer a larger car at an upgrade cost and they thought they shouldn't have to pay for the difference.
I'm 6"1 and I've been in airplanes where spacing between rows of seats is really small for me. But I don't complain about it, I just suck it up and live with it.
planes are the only place I'm actually glad being such a tiny person LOL I'm just 5'2 and barely 110 lbs
My BMI is still at obese, but I have lost over 50 pounds so far in my journey and I am living for it. It is amazing how much better it feels just to drop 50
What is a “straight sized” person?? 🤦🏾♀️ It seems like there is a movement for everything now. Just lose the weight, feel better and enjoy life! I’m in the process and it’s totally worth it. 🤣LOL... “ Most people are not attracted to imminent death!” 💯
Straight size is regular clothes- not plus sized. About a 16, although there's a 16 plus sized that's cut for plus size. The scary thing is I have a XL shirt from the 80s, I used it to sleep in. It's about a modern medium to large and it's cut completely different. It's longer, but not much wider or cut for a large stomach. Basically, it's scaled up to be proportional for a taller person. And I was a size 16 at my max weight, over 90 pounds overweight. A modern 16 does not mean you're a tiny, dainty person.
Bella Wolff Thanks for clarifying Bella! This is really getting confusing. Lol. And of course unnecessary since no one will know what size anyone else wears anyway.
Interestingly enough, the term came from the modeling industry. “Straight size” models are below a size 6, and anything above a six is considered plus size. I was a model for a little while, and I was a size 8, so I was considered plus size, but it all has a different connotation in the modeling industry.
Just wait soon it will be “if you don’t have French doors then your home is fat phobic!”
My body has been referred to as a "little boy body" and "too manly looking" after I lost all the weight and started lifting. This was said by some of the closest women I have in my life. It sucked to hear that but I also realized that these women have gained a lot of weight. They are very insecure about themselves. Skinny shaming is not nice.
Both things can be true.
Nowadays we see looking a certain way as a 'choice' because of all thr technology we have, but skinny shaming used to mean something.
My mom is nearly 300 lbs and just got a promotion at the IRS. This is such bull
And considering what the IRS do it's a desk job.
Just got a promotion? When tax season is over? 🤭
I was 250 3 years ago. Now 175. Feels fn awesome. Be fit fam!!
Used to be morbidly obese. Now I'm a healthy weight. I wasn't comfortable, I don't miss it. And I no longer have penguin arms!! 🐧 My arms hang down from my shoulders now, rather than stick out like penguin wings
Me too! I no longer have those arms 🐧
Meh not offended even though I got fat again. My own damn fault, but I’m losing weight again and eating healthier again and exercising again.
You got this!
Being fat helped fuel my cancer, no lie
@@rdred8693 Down to 202.3 40 more to go! I didn't know weight gain could have effects in terms of one having cancer :( hope you recovered
As someone who had been obese my entire life until about 2 years ago (36 to 22 bmi) I never felt too bad being obese, but I'm not stupid, I could see the future of that path, I didn't want the poor health outcomes once I got older, so I lost weight, and still am working on getting in shape more and more.
I think that if more people were “fat shamed” (i.e.: if people were HONEST to others without worrying about “offending” them) there would be fewer obese people with major health issues. I look at this as a motivator. I KNOW I was in the “overweight” BMI category by about 10 pounds when I joined the SwoleFam back in March. I knew I needed to keep at the workout routine despite the shutdown because I don’t like being objectively overweight. (I’d like to think I’m no longer overweight, but your kettlebell workouts have given me some killer guns. My shirt sleeves are getting TIGHT, bruh!!) 😂👍🏼💪
By her logic I, as a tall person, am systemically oppressed by airlines, buses, car companies, clothing companies and some doorways...yeah...right
Seats aren't built for "small" bodies. They're built for "standard" bodies. Bodies most people have. Maybe it's time for an update of those "standard" measures, seeing how the average is changing. But nobody should ever say public seating made for average dimension is for "small" bodies because that is not how it works. When you call yourself "big" and the average "small", you're doing a disservice to yourself because you're basically saying that the average is completely opposite from you in a way that makes it unobtainable.
It's another episode of *It's ok to be abject to someone based on their body because they have magic systemic cookie points*
wouldn't an obese someone have, more... *cookie* points? JOKE JOKE I JOKE
Yo bro
- Are you fat?
- I'm Super fat!
My weight fluctuated a LOT growing up due to eating disorders, and honestly I was treated better at my heaviest than my lowest. Since I carry most of my weight in my lower half I was always called thicc and sexy, my lowest though? People told me I was sickly, I should hide my body because it's not sexy, when I would go out to eat I was always pressured in to buying more food because "I clearly needed it" even though I was struggling with an eating disorder these are just awful things to say to anyone. Now I'm a healthy 125 and I'm still curvy, just a healthy curvy. As a society we have normalised skinny shaming and demonized anyone who dare says that being overweight is bad for you, no one should be ashamed for how they look but why is one worse than the other?
Facts over feelings
🥰If you're reading this, I hope you have a beautiful day, that you take
steps towards your goals and remember that you are AMAZING. Don't let
anyone tell you otherwise. 🥰
I’m a female, my BMI used to be 34, I’ve now got it down to 29 and I’m working to lose more. I’ll tell you, I don’t miss having a BMI of 34 for one minute!
Being 5'3'' and 175 lbs, helped cause my cancer.
Started lifting weights, (bought bumper plates and an oly bar) eating healthy, drinking water and walking.
Down 30 lbs, my back stopped hurting, I look younger, and muscle is growing instead of fat!
Shooting for 20% or lower body fat now.
"most people aren't attracted to imminent death" this is so true but actually had me laughing out loud. also the word "infinifat" actually grosses me out
A lot of people have to shop online. Im naturally busty and often undergarments & swimsuits, I have to buy online.
Sizing has changed dramatically! I’m a 4 skirt and a 8-10 blouse (thanks for the chest, Grandma...lol); in vintage sizing, I’m a 12-16 depending on cut, brand, and my weight. In 1980s clothes I’m an 8-10 skirt.
Those who push fat positivity by saying “Marilyn Monroe was a size 12!” don’t seem to realize that was a modern 4-6. (25 inch waist)
I'm overweight, but I've ALWAYS felt better and had better health when I weighed less. My blood pressure is lower when I weigh less, and I dont get winded half as fast. So far in the last month I've shed 11lbs and it will only go down from here. I would NEVER want to be the weight I am now, ever ever again. I get wanting people to respect you no matter your size. But truth is, being fat isnt healthy. Period.
I was never discriminated because of my weight but I could be discriminated against because of my skin color because I'm black and being obese made me darker than my skin actually is
That comment about the sizes of clothes is so true! Before I lost weight I used large and medium clothes. I lost maybe 10 kg (20lbs), and suddenly small and extra small clothes started to fit me. Extra small!! Like I could just go and try on a 3 or even 2 size and it would definitely fit me. I feel waaay better now, and I even have less athsma attacks than before. Love your videos!
I was never obese, but I gained a ton of weight when I transferred to my new university. At a BMI of 25.7, I had high blood pressure and my mental health was HORRIBLE. 35 pounds later, i feel so much better. I don’t want to go back. I won’t go back.
These people frustrate me so much. I’m someone who is chronically ill, I’m disabled. I eat healthy, I work out as much as I can, which comes and goes since my health is always up in the air no matter what I do. I do everything right. I take care of myself. I practically live at the dr office with how many I see. I take my meds, I try to stay in shape, I eat healthy, etc yet I can’t change my situation. I’m still deaf, I’m still in chronic pain, my body is still attacking itself and leaving me immobile or sometimes bed bound.
Yet these people, have the chance the opportunity to have the life I want. They can do everything I do, and actually change their lives and get the results I want. I need a walker, I need to get a bunch of surgeries to try and help myself enough to not need a walker as much as I do rn. All they need to do is get in shape and or change their diet. It’s so frustrating watching these people play victim when they are the ones who put themselves in the situation they are in. When there are people like myself who work so hard to take care of myself, but it only does so much bc my health isn’t great bc of disease and disabilities.
Agreed. My fear of feeling shame or being judged is absolutely fuel to be healthier. Without community disapproval what is the motivation for a person to hold themselves accountable?
I totally get the pain of finding jeans etc, I’m 5ft short legs but with Mum hips, every pair of jeans I get I have to be taken up, mini skirts look knee length on me and there’s no way I can wear a long skirt. But I still found my style, you adjust to your body type.
A “friend” of mine posted about Thin privilege on her Instagram 👁👄👁
Different brands also have different sizeing, like with most brads I wear a medium but at place like forever 21 I have to get a extra large
As a smaller person most normal chairs are too wide and too high for me. My feet don't touch the ground and I can't use both arm rests at the same time. Finding clothes is a nightmare because not every store carries petite sizes, but I am not demanding the world change for me. I learn to live in a bigger world, and I have no way to change that. These people have every opportunity to change to fit in the world, but they want us to change things.
I’m not obese but I know I would hate it. Just watching how they struggle. I don’t feel sorry for them. Go excersize and eat right.
I am obese. I used to justify it because I played college softball. I've been graduated for over a year now, I need to change. I can feel that I'm losing my mobility and it is terrifying. I'm trying to change.
I grew up fat. Mostly because everyone around me enabled my sugar cravings or large portion sizes. I learned later that if I wanted change, it wasn’t going to be served to me like food, I had to work for it. I needed the honesty like yours instead of others trying to protect my feelings. My feelings mean nothing if I’m dead. If I had that honesty earlier, I probably wouldn’t have been so miserable in middle school. I could have been happier with myself earlier and that’s a huge regret for me. Your videos are super motivating to me. I often choose to listen to them instead of music when working out!
I used to be morbidly obese. Now, I'm just obese, and still going down. I went from 3XL to roughly XL and in rare cases XXL. I lost over 50 lbs by now and even though I'm still obese, I feel a major difference in my life.
- My mobility increased. I can go skating for hours again without having my feet in so much pain.
- I'm walking a lot faster.
- I finally have my long neck back!
- my shoulders are not as round anymore.
I can move better and I look a lot better. Maybe it's just my immagination but I think that the change in my diet even improved the thickness of my hair. I also noticed other, more important things.
- My mental health improved
This was a big change. I used to be really anxious all the time and I sometimes would be overcome by panic for no good reason at all. I'm now much more relaxed and I don't lose my nerves as easily. I'm no longer as defensive as I used to be, and I'm able to think a lot clearer than ever before. It's like the bad diet, all the sweets and all the junk just stuffed my brain... Never would I go back to the way I was.
Years ago when I gained ~70 lbs, my niece wouldn't let me hear the end of it. I would've lost weight if my medications let me. It took me years to get on medications that didn't have weight gain as a side effect. I am now slowly losing weight and soon I'll be in the 170s(I'm 4'11). I'm finally in a program to give me more accountability and that's been teaching me how to manage my weight better. Watching channels like this has also educated me more on how bad obesity is and can get, which motivates me to lose the weight even more. I'm hoping in a year I'll be down to the weight I want(my original weight before i gained ~70 lbs was 110 lbs). I used to think I could never lose weight but now that I'm more motivated and off those awful meds, I know I can. My only problem right now is binging and having to deal with an injured leg. If anyone has any suggestions for workouts for the upper body, please let me know.
I'm losing weight on a ketogenic diet. I have hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's) and struggled to lose the 50 lbs I gained in the last 5 years. And now by cutting out the carbs and eating alot of saturated animal fats the weight is coming off and I'm feeling so much energy, I don't feel like I'm depriving myself. I'm down 30 lbs in 4 months
Fat acceptance logic:
"I touched the element while it was on and it burned my hand, its the stoves fault I got burned so im going to touch it until it accepts me."
Side note I’m a 4-6 5’7 and the seats aren’t roomy at all on the planes.
I can shop in stores because I’m growing to be 7 feet tall and I’m 13 and my shoe size isn’t in stores I were a size 14 being tall is painful but I don’t cry about when your tall your legs hurt to me their complaining for no reason I can’t fit in desk because of the size of my legs I have a queen size bed and my legs go over the end of the bed if you complain about being fat your soft
george carlin once made a nice rant about this topic
i was thinking George Carlin too!
The jeans struggle is real! Clothing manufacturers don't seem to realize some actually hit legs. For jeans to fit over my butt, they're always too bug everywhere else. I've resigned myself to needing a belt to sinch in the 2 inches of extra waist, and unless they're super tapered through the leg, they look like damn bell bottoms with all that lose fabric. Stretch denim is my only hope.
My brother in law is 6ft 3 and he struggles to find shirts that fit him he usually has to wear a fat persons shirt even though he is slim because hes tall he find it hard to find clothes for him but he doesn't complain about it
My life is WAYYY better.. I'm 5'1 and I went from 200lb to 130 and on boyy do I feel like I can actually jump and sit completely comfortable and be confident.. this is why I love you papa swole 😤😤😤👌🏼
Wait XL is obese? Technically now I am, but even when in great shape I needed XL for chest and shoulders.
I'm the same way!
I'm only 15 lbs overweight (150 as a 5'4 female.... goal weight is 135- know some women are smaller but for my frame, i workout and carry muscle so i'm never going to be smaller than 135; 135 has always been where i look and feel my best and am able to maintain. i used to beat myself up about like why can some girls be 110-120 and whatever but those girls are generally like toothpicks and thats not me, lol. even now, i still have muscle underneath the extra 15 lbs of fat. i didnt STOP working out and get flabby, ive just been indulging a bit too much and need to shed off the fat thats COVERING my muscle lol) but yea, even just 15-20 lbs overweight makes me feel sluggish and yucky and wrong in my body. nothing fits me right, and when i AM trying to work out and exercise i definitely dont move as well at 150 as i do at 135. i cant imagine carrying an extra 100 lbs or even an extra 50 lbs when this is what just an extra 15-20 lbs feels like. I've gone thru weight fluxuations but this is always the limit i hit where when you gain 20 lbs you FEEL it and you realize you need to stop. do some people just not have that sense of inhibition? like what is the point that they need to get to where they feel wrong in their body? this is honestly the 'fattest' ive ever been this year (i got up almost to 170 this past winter) and i was so surprised and disgusted i hadnt realized and done something about it sooner. i knew i was gaining weight but didnt realize it was THAT bad until i started planning my garden for the coming spring and realized how hard it was to start working out again after slacking off and indulging those winter months! it was super hard to break back into it but i'm finally starting to lose a couple lbs a week and back to 150-ish. like i said, still got 15-20 lbs to go so wish me luck.
I went from 200 to 135 just by listening to you and self motivating myself in the last year. I never want to go back to how I was. Never in my life have I felt so physically and mentally well. Thank you!
I find these videos inspirational. I'm fat, but getting less fat all the time. Healthy body and mind is my goal. As well as weight of course. 💙
People need to stop playing the victim.
I personally have lost 150 lbs I began my journey right when my job closed and the lockdowns began due to covid and i can honestly say I have never felt better I am currently 28 years old I haven't been the weight I am now since 7th grade. Everything in life is just a lot easier. I wouldn't wish being obese upon my enemies, that is how much better life is being healthier. Everyone should strive to better themselves.
If you buy a shirt in Large norway, its says (EU Size Large) & (US Size Small/Medium). Thats craaaazy! Keep preaching, papa!
I was severely underweight and I'm now obese. Back in highschool I was 61 pounds( mostly do to treatment. For a disability that I'm born. ) I can testify being obese isn't fun nor is a good thing. I'm 29: spent years trying to losing weight, trying different of those tv diets. Only to make myself sick. I finally with the help of doctors. I found out that have PCOS as well. Which made losing weight harder. Training 4 days a week with a trainer at the gym. During the time of diagnosis. I wasn't losing as much weight. With the help of a dietitian/nutritionist. I customized my diet around every thing I eat and eat more low calorie dense foods. Even cut out all added sugars. Won't lie and say I don't still eat junk food. Because I do. Just not as much or often I use to. I cook mostly at home and only eat some junk at restaurant. Only twice to every six months to year. I started shopping at the farmers markets and health food stores for majority of my meats. Eat a lot vegetables and fruits. Took nutrition classes; to learn how to still eat even when I go out to restaurants. Classes where I learned how to substitute certain ingredients to my favorite foods for more healthier low calorie dense versions of them. My diet is customized to fit my health needs for my epilepsy, my PCOS, and anemia. Also had to learn how to cook and prepare food from scratch all over. Proportion size and space my meals apart. It works for me. Some help from a trainer and coach. I got a solid workout routine that I stick too. I do have some friends who are super obese. I try to be the example for them. And I know they want to lose weight too. Because they'll ask me about my workout routine and my diet and what I eat. I was 300lbs and now weight 247. I'm still working harder at learning everything I can learn. Add that knowledge to my routine. Keep getting healthy. I'm happier that I've lost weight. doing things that I used to love doing against such as biking I went hiking I walked for 12 miles yesterday and I jogged for 6miles. I couldn't for long time. Walk up a flight of stairs or a hill without struggling to breath. That's nobody's fault but my own. It was me who gained so much weight. got still; stopped being active, upon getting sick, and injured. Was no longer working out. I take full responsibility for my health.
I live in the UK and me and people I know have noticed the new vanity sizing. It's seems that what used to be UK 10 is now and 8 which is down a size and so on. You can no longer believe any of it. Also I'm someone who is prone to piling on the kilos but any time I start feeling uncomfortable, I have a "reset" and I check if I slipped into some bad habits and get rid of them. It works well for me and since there is no other way to describe it, I suppose I put myself on a diet and learn the good habits again. As I said, it works well for me 💪💪💪
Totally agree with the clothing issue. I am only 5'1", plus being that I do workout pants always have a gap at the waist to fit my thighs and hips, not to mention the length of everything. I taught myself to sew and alter my clothing for my body because its not realistic to expect things to be tailored made for me. I worked retail jobs that offered altering because again we are shaped differently person to person. I don't think shaming anyone is ok but I have noticed even bringing up health issues is "fat shaming" in alot of these circles; there is a big danger with not being able to take concerned feedback when it comes to your health and wellbeing. Personally, I have had struggles with my weight and the main thing that has gotten me motivated to get fit again has been how terrible my body feels when it has extra weight along being fueled by processed foods. I definitely hope that this mentality will change for the better.
I have lost a lot of weight 3 previous times in my life and gained it back 3 previous times, as well. I am now on my 4th try, because being morbidly obese is not fun. Your back hurting every day, not fun. Not being able to stand for a long period of time without your back having spasms, not fun. Knees hurting or feeling like the are giving out, not fun. I've lost 55 pounds since April 2019, I started lifting weights, and now, my back doesn't hurt every day, I can stand all day and help my husband with projects around the house, without having back spasms, knees are still a bit dodgy after leg day, but feeling better. I am terrified that this won't last and that I'm going to find my 5'5" female frame at 250 again, I am doing everything I can to make this a permanent change, because being morbidly obese is NOT FUN!
I've gone from 345lb to currently at 260 trying to get down to about 200 and I'm 6' 1". What I get tired of the most is people telling me "you look great now, you don't need to lose any more weight". They tell me this to justify how they look. I still have at least 40lbs to go before I can be around 20% body fat. I get that they are trying to be nice and compliment me, but shut up already.
I’m at a healthy bmi but often x small doesn’t fit me, granted I am on the lower side of the bmi scale ( 20.3 ) but unlike bigger people smalls stop at extra small and don’t go to like xxx small. It’s a minor inconvenience tho, I just go to different stores or occasional the children’s section. It’s just what needs to be done
I'm female. Went from BMI of nearly 37 and now at 21. Never going back. My knees felt just that much better every 5lbs I lost. I let my muscles go soft during the lockdown. Sure, my saggy skin gets me down a little, but I know for a fact that it looks best over some nice curvy muscles, not fat. 2 weeks into getting them back. I know it takes consistancy and patience.
I used to be pretty fat for European standards. 120kg at 186cm , lost 26kg fat so far and I love it ! Currently my body refuses to get leaner, but hey I eat way way way way more healthy now and it's a lifetime journey so I'm back in a healthy weight range and I'm more fit than in my 20s. So I agree with all what u said in that video. Keep up the good work
The old, let me say the sane thing first, then completely undermine that with my lunacy. Does anyone actually think that works anymore?
I know you get a lot of comments like this, but I used to be quite overweight and stuff like walking up a flight of stairs and lifting stuff is tough as hell. Walking even for half a mile makes my ankles strained and I ran out of breath easily. Also, I tend to get asthma attacks very easily.
I decided to make a change to start a diet and exerscise, so that I stop suffering these pains once and for all. It wasn't easy, having to feel hunger and tiredness from exercise but once I ridded my addiction to food and start the ball going for exercise, things just went uphill from there. I'm still not the most motivated nor fit person right now, but still, I wanna go higher...
I just got myself out of the obese range on the bmi scale. I am officially only in the over weight category. I can't honestly say I will never... NEVER get big again. It ruined my life, confidence, and my mental state. Being smaller is honestly better.
I am 6xl and agree with every single word you said. I was almost a 7xl earlier this year when I decided to turn around and stop being fat. It's been a long process because it was a long process to make myself fat. Thank you for having reason in the age of the SJW and being offended for everyone else! I'm just fat and working on that shit. Thanks again, dude!
Vanity sizing is real! As a 5’7” 140 female I usually wear an XS/S. In middle or high school I was easily a M sometimes L. At the same weight! Old navy is the absolute worst. I can fit into their Girls sizes as a full grown, normal sized person. So frustrating
“Superfat” and “infinifat” 😂🤣🤣 lmaooo
I've always been skinny but i want to try and gain a bit of muscle (maybe a few pounds)
Oh man. When I was fitter I had a real problem with shirts. The arms would threaten to pop, and I'm a 5foot 2 woman so it's not like it's a physique that people expect of someone my size. I gave up a long time ago finding perfectly fitting clothes and learned to sew.
My brother is 6"4 and around 210 pounds, he has to buy XLTs because if he doesnt buy shirts that are labeled tall, they are too short for him. Most stores don't carry his size. He has to order most of his stuff online, he doesnt complain about being shamed for his height or anything. I can't believe these people, Smh🙄
I'm 15 and 6'4, I'm out here doing my thing without complaining. I can't control my height but these people can control their weight. I honestly just don't get I also have to special order clothes because I'm tall.
I used to be overweight and I hated it. I’m so much happier being slim. Life is so much easier!
As a person with genetic medical conditions, people who are choosing to be obese. Are taxing the healthcare system, making it harder for people to get the resources they need.
I'm 5'5 and only 98 pounds and I used to do modeling but I got so damn insecure that I quit like that's my dream job and I quit because I have the hardest time finding clothes
So close to being in the normal BMI range but I have a long way to go where I want to be.
Damn I'm late but I'm 18 and I used to be a mens medium, but since the sizes as you said are changing to fit fat people, I now can wear a small or even x-small. It really pisses me off going into a store and seeing things change to fit obese people, encouraging being overweight.
I went to the doctors today and since the beginning of March I have lost 10 lbs which brought me to a weight I haven’t been in 5 years :) just by working out consistently and eating foods that make my stomach feel good (no dairy and no sugar).
I used to get offended by the word "fat" growing up, but now that I'm working on becoming a healthier version of myself, I don't look at it as an insult anymore. I want to get to a point in my life where people who look at me and say (or think) "she's so fat."
It's not cute and it's not healthy. Yes, I'm a pretty girl with a big heart full of love, but if I truly love myself, I need to do what's best for me and lose the weight.
I've been working on my healthier lifestyle since February. I've lost 10 pounds so far (I've had a lot of ups and downs), but I can tell you major change I've had. It's my blood pressure.
The "norm" for my blood pressure used to be 139/90 (which is really bad). My NP took my blood pressure two weeks ago and it came out to be 113/68. I was so freakin' proud of myself! Even though I haven't lost a lot of weight, I'm already seeing improvements in my health. :)
I was obese for a long time. Never again.
Im still obese, however I've lost about 30lbs and feel a lot better. My joints hurt less, I have more energy and I'm not dealing with the mood swings that came with bad diet. I dont ever want to be big like that again, I'm still losing but slowly. I miss eating trash because i miss the almost high from the sugar hit, but that's the only thing and frankly the high isn't worth the crash
Yeah, I weigh 180+ lbs, 5'10" and I wear extra small and small sizes. I'd call myself medium to large, I'd definitwlly wouldn't call myself fucking small.
I'm obese, close to the border to only-overweight-land. Now I have to be fair, at my size I suffer very little limitations from my weight. Maybe my biggest problem is not being able to wear dresses because my legs would be chafing. Oh and some private bedroom stuff... But still, I don't feel too good about how I look. Now I know there are women out there twice my size that would be happy to be my size, but that doesn't mean that my feelings about my body aren't valid. This week has been going pretty well so far. Now I just need to not lower my guard on the weekend.
I'm 6'9" and have never been comfortable in passenger seats or small chairs/low tables but i always just thought "eh, that's just the way it is the world ain't gonna change for me" apparently I have internalized height phobia
