      Hi! 🫶🏼
      I just wanna let you know that even if you don't believe in Jesus.
      Jesus is STILL coming back! He wants everyone to repent and believe on him to be saved from hell and get to heaven, I don't want you in hell thats why i sent you this...everyone is a sinner NOBODY does good, if u have lied u have committed sin, i have lied and committed sin,
      Romans 3:23 - for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
      When you repent, you turn away from sin, and change your mind about.
      Jesus WILL accept you, if you choose him. So please choose him because God will judge everyone based on what they did in life!
      Matthew 12:36 - “But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
      you need to believe that Jesus died for your sins and was resurrected from the dead because he wants to save you from your sins! And cuz he loves you! Then you repent and turn away from sins its your choice to believe...
      Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord
      If you wanna accept Jesus you can start by reading the Bible 💗 no matter WHAT you did, YOU can still go to God!

      I mean if you can't have a woman talk about their weight, then they should not have a man talk about their height... 😂
      But the man part... They just neglect it, because being short man is literally NOT Attractive for them... And it's hard honestly, since when you are short, you'll get intimidated by some guys who are taller than you, because of their height...
      But honestly, I don't care about my height tho, but some woman care more to height, but are getting angry when we are talking about their weight...
      Because it is not attractive...

      That's really a big part of the problem, they're not actually about any sort of freedom they want to enforce thought conformity. Which, I mean, look from a religious perspective it is hard for me to talk about stuff like that because this is the drive of religious thought, that there's somehow some assumed objective true reality behind everything and that the best is the most purest application of that law, and that to deviate from it is to invite error and chaos therefore suffering, in a nutshell. Basically. So there's that, and it does suffuse the whole of conservativism but at the same time is exactly what makes progressivism so horrifying, is it's basically the same thing but taken to this really psychotic overdrive where it seeks to impose itself with a fanatical religious zeal but there's nothing behind it, there is no backing, there is no moral backbone, there is no logical center, it's just straight nihilism being cloaked as someone's vanity project and virtue signaling that is paraded around like it's "justice" and it isn't, it's the seeking of the imposition of nihilism on the brains of the masses.

If I didn't want my son to be without a mother and my husband a widower, I must lose weight. I am so thankful she had the courage to have that conversation. It's NOT fat phobia it's called telling you the cold hard truth. I am only about 50 pounds From my goal weight and more proud of my body now then I ever was when i was fat.

    • @aryakaz757
      @aryakaz757 Před měsícem +7

      I've thought about this a lot. I figured they wouldn't boot somebody who already booked their flight ticket, but I do wonder if the way they're able to do this by letting these people sit in the row that has 2 empty seats for the flight staff in case of an emergency. During the last time I was on a southwest flight just a couple months ago with my son, I saw how there was a row with only 2 seats rather than the normal 3, and I wondered if it was available for passengers to sit in (it was a flight with no assigned seats, so passengers could sit wherever was available). When I asked the flight attendant, he informed me they're for staff in case of emergencies. So when I watched this video, and heard how southwest's policy allows for morbidly obese to get a free 2nd seat even on fully booked flights, I immediately thought that they must be able to accommodate these people by allowing them to sit in this row. If that is how they do it, it'd mean they are risking their staff's lives and safety and possibly the safety of the entire flight if an emergency did happen, just to let fat people have a free extra seat and help to basically reinforce them for being very overweight. I can't think of any other way they could do this aside from kicking off people who already booked their flight ticket. If it came down to this greedy airline getting as much $ as possible or putting people's lives in possible danger if an emergency occurred, I have a feeling they'd choose the latter and just hope that no emergency happens on one of these flights.

    As someone who was formerly morbidly obese and is now at a healthy weight, I will say that these people are weaponizing their feelings of rejection and insecurity in order to gain some sort of power they feel like they have been denied. We are seeing it in other communities too. I was also ignored by most people romantically because I was big but I never blamed others for not being attracted to me, it was my fault.

    If I walk into a Target and it's loud, and the carts are clanging, and there are a lot of smells, and people moving in unpredictable patterns, and all that is stressful to me because I'm autistic, does that mean that everyone in the store, or at least the managers and employees have autism-phobia? Or is it just that those things don't bother the vast majority of people, and I'm on the edge of the bell curve, and that is my lot in life? It doesn't mean we can't decide to make some concessions for people on the edges of the bell curve if it doesn't hurt anyone, but to call it a phobia when we don't, to demand federal action, etc. is just non-sensical. And autism is NOT something a person chooses, unlike being overweight (with very rare exceptions).

    Fat positivity is the equivalent of eating disorder positivity. As a matter of fact, morbid obesity & food addiction IS classified as an eating disorder.
    I developed anorexia when I was 9 years old and I battled it for over 10 years. If society believed that it is not only acceptable to have anorexia and/or bulimia nervosa, but was programmed to applaud it and call it anorexia positivity, then I (along with MANY others) would probably be dead by now.

And it kept me in this mindset of victimhood and not changing anything. But no matter how much I said that I love myself as I am, I didn't really. Because being fat and watching your body fail at the simplest of tasks is not something that brings you happiness.

      Try water aerobics or swimming. There are also exercises you can do from sitting in a chair. Add ankle weights when you feel comfortable. Yoga/stretching helps me a lot with my back pain, bad knee and nerve damage. Stretching is one of the best ways to help your lymphatic system and blood flow, which in turn will help your knees.
      Start off slow and just be consistent.
      It was hard for me at first because I had a sugar addiction and was tired all the time. Even on days that you don't feel like doing anything, try just a few simple stretching exercises for 10-20 min.

    I think it should be the other way around. Before booking the tickets, you should have to agree that you fit into a single seat and if you don’t (and the flight is fully booked) YOU should be the person that gets kicked off the flight instead of squeezing over to the seats next to you. It may sound mean but if all seats cost the same, everyone should be equally as comfortable.

I was mortified when that happened to me, but I finally realized I needed to lose weight. Now, there are a lot more very big people flying and just expecting these accommodations EVERYWHERE which is disgusting! No one wants the fat girl spilling over into their seat, but if you're the fat girl that's going to spill over into the seat, you know that when you book the flight. Buy the second seat or don't fly. If you don't want to do that, don't fly or lose weight.

      Yup. If we go by the linguistic definition, fatphobia is the fear of fatness/being fat/gaining weight, as commonly experienced by people with anorexia, bulimia or other similar eating disorders.
      Now, people just use the term "fatphobic" to refer to anything from small seats, to calories on menus, to doctors saying "you'd be healthier if you lost weight".
      Basically the word has gone from actually meaning "phobia of fat" to a catch-all term to mean anything that doesn't support obesity (e.g. small chairs, gyms, societal beauty and health standards etc).

      I love how you said “I’m 16, upon *realizing* that I’m gay…”
      The ‘realize’ part is very important, because not only is it true, but also often misunderstood. When you’re little you’re drawn to some things more than others, perhaps sometimes you may even be curious about something, it’s just natural instinct. However it is very important to understand that having a ‘feeling’ about something is not the same as ‘understanding’ exactly what you’re feeling.
      I remember I was more drawn to guys when I was a little kid, just being a curious little devilish child (lol 😅) but not once did I ever go “Hhmmm, I know what this is:
      I’m ✨ G a y ✨
      No. That sense of ‘feeling’ later developed into a sense of ‘understanding’ when I was in my mid teen years, but it took time for it all to sink in and for me to accept and make peace with it. It wasn’t not something I could control nor was it something I knew from the moment I was born.

    Every video you create is incredible - I've been catching up on some I had missed from your channel. I love how your videos and commentaries provide others with insight into what genuine self-confidence and a mature healthy mindset is; versus the external validation that many people believe is a necessity they are entitled to in every scenario. It's become so intense that grown adults genuinely believe they are justified in scolding and recording grown adults for a misunderstanding or not catering to their expectations; despite being as polite and apologetic as possible.

      Congrats on dropping the weight and keeping up the effort. I know it isn’t easy. I myself used to be grossly overweight and eventually had a wake up call to drop the weight. And I ended up losing 80 pounds in a summer, and over 100 pounds total. I know it’s hard and some days the motivation just isn’t there, but keep it up the good work. Trust me when the day comes where you finally look in the mirror and see a skinny/in shape person staring back, that feeling is beyond priceless.

    I had a friend who would CONSTANTLY complain about how people would misgender him “ftm” all he did was wear guy clothes he didn’t even cut his hair or try to grow facial hair. But anyway back to my story the one day I went over to his house to hang out and he was so pissed off because an employee at some store called him miss or ma’am like 3 or so hours ago I just got tired of the complaining and I was just like “dude let it go get over it” and he just looked at me like 😮 I just looked at him and said “what? You don’t see me complaining when I just got cussed out by a customer. Man up bro” he got all pissed and was like “why would you speak to me like that omg” I was like “dude that’s how guys talk to eachother you’re a guy and you need to be emotionally strong enough to get over shit. It helps” that was 6 months ago. She switched back and when I asked her why she said being a guy sucks nobody cares about your problems. I was just like “yup”

    I’m really impressed with you and your channel on a serious note. I love how you react to things but yet are respectful and understanding. You’re not mean about it your just saying it how it is. I’m actively dieting and working hard to lose weight. I’m not super fat or far from what I should be but I recognize it is a problem. I’m not trying to lose my weight and get fit for other people I’m doing it so I can feel good physically. These girls who get all heated and call it fat shaming are just extremely insecure. They know deep down it’s a problem but don’t know how to lose because it’s so hard. It’s easier to accept yourself and make it look like other people’s problems. They need to be supported not degraded, they need to understand that people calling them fat is not them really being rude but the truth. Society needs to start encouraging people to lose weight so they can be in a healthy range and live long healthy lives, not encouraging these people and saying it’s ok. These days people who are actually healthy are more frowned on and told they need to gain and people who are actively obese or overweight are treated ok. Fat and unhealthy is becoming the new norm and thats what has to change.

      I don’t know your situation exactly. But if you aren’t too big, and live in a good area, you could try cycling. Exercise in my experience is easier when you’re doing it for an explicit external purpose like going to work, or the store, or to visit friends and family. It sure beats hard to gauge internal motivation. When you exercise to get around you gauge success by asking yourself. Did I make it from point a to b and back, it makes it a lot harder to be demotivated.
      I do it myself and have lost 20 pounds. And that’s just what shows on the scales. Given how much muscle I’ve gained doing it, I’ve probably lost even more fat weight than that.
      Anyways good luck on your journey, and I hope my story is applicable!

      Omad stands one meal a day. Its a type of fasting.

    I don't know if this is the same flight, but recently a women that was traveling with her daughter and daughter's friend posted a video that she got bumped off of a flight due to someone else taking the seat due to the "person of size" policy. This is after the three seats were already purchased ahead of time.

      To be fair, I saw another video about another airline where big people could *pay for* a second seat and that's what this woman did. A woman with a little girl was having a fit because the woman refused to give up the seat *that she had paid for* for her kid.

      @@rabbit_scribethat isn’t at all the same, one person was kick off a flight they paid for for no reason.
      The other had a bratty kid. I have had kids cry to try to get my window seat even though I paid extra for it.

    when i had an eating disorder everybody told me: "Omg your body looks horrible and unhealthy, you need to gain a lot of weight!". It made me really uncomfy and sad but i knew they were just worried for me. But when i tell overweight people: " You might wanna loose some weight cause its rly unhealty and im genuinly worried for you" they often say your fatphobic or mean. And I never even told them that theyre body looks "horrbile" or "creepy" like people used to say to me, i said it in a nice and respectfull way because i know damn well how bad it feels when people are unsensitive about what they say. Still they wanna see it as critizism because they want to overlook the obvious fact that fat isnt smth "pretty" its something unhealthy that can make your life pretty much like hell. Its like romantising mental illnesses, what happend with this world and the people....

    These people are dangerously delusional. I agree with you, down the line. However, I'll take it a step further - they need to be called out for it. We shouldn't have to feed their delusions, or be penalized for not pandering to them. I love your videos, thanks Honey!

      They are actively distorting well documented psychological science and gaslighting future generations into thinking it's okay to hide from reality, just because it makes them "feel bad." Safe spaces, language policing, redefining relationships, pointless pastel colours everywhere, cancelling/reprogramming people that follow "the message", increasing agency of the state over individual lives. These are all bullet points from Huxleyan dyspotia. They are literally creating a FASCIST society in the most dangerous way. By sugar coating it in bright colours and fake smiles.

      That does not help. I used to work with people with eating disorders, both by binging and by starving themselves. They are both really similar, and shaming will not help. Would you shame an anorexic?

    It’s really odd to be called phobic on preferences to what someone’s attracted to. We’ve gone after what we like forever. This applies to other groups demanding to be dated when they aren’t what people are attracted to. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Hey Amir. It was touching to see you try to express your thoughts and worrying about being mean. You weren't being mean. It's mean if you say something to intentionally hurt someone. It's not mean if you are simply speaking the truth.
