I went from 280lbs to 170lbs. I’ve never felt happier or healthier. I have never met anyone who said, “I was so much happier when I was obese.” Dropping the weight really opens your eyes. No one was oppressing me, except myself. Clothing brands didn’t make their clothes smaller to spite me. I outgrew them. Anyone whom says that they love being overweight is lying to themselves. I know… You’re so insecure that you’re afraid the doctor will bring up your weight at your check up. But when you can’t even lay down for bed without your heart beating fast, and breathing heavy, you have a problem. The weight drains your energy and makes you lethargic. In reality, it makes you lazy. Since dropping the weight I have no issues doing chores, or going out. I have so much energy now that being sedentary drives me crazy. It does no one any favors by encouraging a fat lifestyle. People have no idea of the happiness they could have by dropping the weight and living a healthier lifestyle. I had forgotten what it’s like to be fit and I’m ashamed I wasted so much of my best years like that. In the end, being overweight for so long came with the unfortunate side effect of type 2 diabetes. But even with that being said, I’d happily take this disease over the disease of having my life controlled by my weight.

I went from 250 to 180 by accident (no special or deliberate dieting or exercise, was not trying to lose weight) I’m actually kinda scared that this will continue & I might be dying or something I felt super strong at 250, like I could beat up all the other guys At 180 pounds it’s more like oh geez, I wouldn’t want to fight anyone at all. I feel weak now. Sure I have better cardio but at the cost of strength. I also don’t really feel more energetic or able. I mostly lay in bed all day & it’s a miracle if I do a chore or two.

A classic symptom in addicts is denial. For example, when you reach out to an alcoholic friend in concern about their drinking addiction, to which they reply, “I don’t have a drinking problem. I can stop whenever I want!” Food/Eating can absolutely be an addiction and it’s so easy to develop. It’s scary how easy it is. Foods high in fat and sugar are like drugs because they replicate the feeling of happiness and euphoric emotions and can get you hooked.

I took control at age 40, and within a few years of hard work, I was a toned 118lbs. The world became full of possibilities that wouldn't have existed in my previous state.

I've never struggled with weight, but my mom struggled with being really overweight all her life, I remember growing up and she tried every diet and exercise. In the end, she passed away in 1999 at age 49, I came home and found her dead of a massive heart attack. I am an advocate of exercise, no soda, candy or any sweets, portion control, etc. Most people mistake thirst for hunger, so they over eat. I don't see being really overweight or obesity as sexy or to be glorified, all it will do is lead you to an early grave.

Take it from an obese person, it is nothing to be celebrated. It’s something that I am actively working to reverse in my life. I’ve been curbing my eating habits and trying to be more active. I’m down 15lbs so far, which is not a whole lot, but the feeling of accomplishment that I feel when I see the number on the scale go down is the best. I’ve still got a long way to go, but knowing you are finally taking care of yourself is the best feeling and gives you so much more confidence.

Yeah I was beautiful but I was sick. I ached all the time, I hated my body, It was my self created prison. Now I can't get behind that "just embrace yourself as you are" cult.

I went on a subreddit for dating app advice. I saw a woman who was complaining about not getting any matches. I go through her profile and turned out she was morbidly obese. Not slightly over weight, but easily pushing 400lbs. I look at the comments and they consisted of reassurance like “you’re too good for them!” Or “maybe the app is broken, you’re gorgeous!” Things like that. Being me, I was brutally honest. I said she was at an unhealthy weight, and men don’t find that attractive for aesthetic and health reasons. Men want longevity, not a potential spouse that will die in their 40s. I was later banned from that subreddit haha. I don’t know what’s worse, people giving fake advice when they know the reality, or when honest advice is considered a personal attack and not constructive criticism.

@@latenightladybug4505 Hello! I'm here to help and offer some generally universal advice. First and foremost, one of the most important things you can do to lose weight in a good way is to eat the correct kinds of food, and get plenty of exercise! However, something else that can help lose weight is to get plenty of sleep, a good, consistent sleep schedule is a huge help! But, back to dietary choices, the food itself is a good chunk of the factor, but the portions also play a huge role. Plenty of good protein, fiber, and healthy grains are the best start; start meal prepping! Make a balance of red meat one day, white meat the next, and fish some days with either vegetables or fruit; chicken is super cheap and easy to cook! Keep it simple, pan sear the chicken in a light amount of butter, not too much, salt and pepper (garlic if you like), then grill either some asparagus or yellow squash and zucchini! For snacks, peanut butter or avocado and apples are a good start, or even some honey wheat bread with peanut butter! Avoid too much white bread! You'd be surprised to know how much sugar is in an apple, but they are an example of good sugars, processed sugars like what you find in candy are totally different from natural sugars found in apples! Apples are also a fantastic source of fiber that promote good gut health and can fill ya up quick; a really good way to get your heart pumping is to just go for a quick walk in your neighborhood for 30 minutes a day! Any kind of movement or activity that gets the heart pumping already helps a ton, eventually, add some small weights to the mix to carry with you! In short, keep a balanced diet of proteins, fiber, and healthy carbs; exercise plenty every day, get good sleep! Oh! One other thing, avoid sugary drinks, sweet tea, sodas and whatnot are terrible for your health, try sticking to water primarily, and maybe some orange juice every now and again! For some more detailed advice, seek a nutritionist, but I hope this can help you get a good start! Good luck on your journey!

@@latenightladybug4505 I can give you some advice you may find helpfull, I was never overweight, my problem is trying to gain, but some principles are the same as to becoming more healthy, and gaining more muscle mass- Wich for women is also a good thing, more muscle mass = more passive calorie burning. 1. Try to get plenty of sleep, about 8 hours will do, it's hard sometimes I know, but aim for 8 hours or atleast 7:30. 2. When you wake up, try push ups, Not a must, but it's a good start of the day and a great excercise, you can start off easy by putting your knees on the ground and crossing your legs, or you can even lean against a wall, or on your couch/ a chair and push up from there to start building up. 3. Drink 2 glasses of water after you wake up(you can take these after the pushups if you do those), this kickstarts your digestive system after sleep. 4. Drink plenty of water over your day, like 2 liters at the minimum, more if you have an active day and you sweat allot, water is the best way to flush toxins and excess out off your body, not saying you need to drink only water, but it will benefit you if you can take yourself off softdrinks etc(eventually) 5. If you can, take the bike or walk to work etc, take the stairs if possible over the elevator if your floor is not that high up or you're not carrying to much. 6. Find a sport you like, this includes even dancing lessons, everything that you find fun and has you move allot, you may also want to look at fitness/weightlifting, even for women this is a good thing, some women fear that they're going to turn into the hulk after lifting 'to much weight' - that'll literally never happen unless you actively want to become a body builder. 7. You can even just go for walks with friends, those too are very healthy, if you think jogging might be beter for burning fat tissue, don't worry, walking at a faster pace will do that job just fine and is even healthier for your joints. 8. Try to eat some good fats every so often, like avocado, nuts or have salmon, these fats can help break down excessive fat tissue over time and are good for your cholesterol. 9.If you're afraid to go to public places like gyms or pools....don't be...everyone is there to beter themselves, and there are jerks everywhere, regardless if you're overweight or not, but if it's still to much, there's some really good apps on your phone you can use, using only your bodyweight or some lower weight dumbells already gets you a long way to get you started. 10.I use an app called "Food", it allows you to track your macros(Proteins,Carbs,Fats) and calories over a day, I find this really helpfull, even though it is a bit of a drag to get started, but if you get through the start you'll find it easier to keep up, since it saves your foods(has a barcode scanner) and you can put in your own meals or food that isn't in there using the labels and putting in the nutrient scores. I can't stress enough how helpfull this app can be for people trying to gain or lose weight. 11. Dedication and discipline, You aren't going to see results if you don't keep on it, your body needs time to get used to and adjust to excerises and weights you use, don't be discouraged and keep on going for it, sometimes you'll have bad days, don't worry we all have those, but the important thing is to keep going, the best thing for people just starting is that they'll 'see' results very fast, over time it goes slower, but do not be discouraged. 11.2 It might be a good idea to take a picture of yourself every few months, or half a year, just so you can actually see how far you've come. Just a few point sum up for losing weight; You need a calorie deficit- wich means you need to burn more than you take in, excercise and the food app can help you with that. You need to get plenty of sleep, aim for 8 hours. You need to drink plenty of water, around 2 liters a day for most people, more if you sweat allot - Try buying a water bottle or "shaker" that shows the amount of water it can contain, so you can keep beter track of how much you drink each day. You need routine of excercise, this goes for sports, aswell as just walks, the first step is always the hardest, we've all been there, but stick to it and you'll be rewarded, anything is doing beter than nothing at all and sitting around at home feeling bad about yourself, take matters into your own hands. I hope atleast some of it was helpfull, wishing you well.

@@latenightladybug4505 hey hang in there! I lost 100 pounds just by e exercising and counting calories. That’s it. I don’t have any health issues that prevent me from losing weight my simply moving more and eating less. The key I think is to think about what you can add and less what you should take away. Protein is always first lean meats are better of course. Then add as much veggies as you want. Little carbs. Don’t avoid them just try to fill up your plate with mostly meat and veggies and a bit of carbs. Less sugar none is better but if you want something sweet try to find alternatives. Sugar free options are great but really it takes time to adjust and for you to adjust to eating better. But anyway I really hope you can keep going and it’s ok if you don’t do great for one meal Ty again on the next meal ok? Don’t give up you can do it!!!

I'm someone who's now in the obese category since Covid and I couldn't agree more. If I look back at the last 3 years, yes my sports injury played a part but my weight gain was largely down to what I consumed. No one forced me to buy snacks from the store. I walked those steps to the store, i took out my card and paid for them, knowing full well my exercise routine had completely changed. Now I've started my journey to lose weight and get back in shape but I've met so many people in denial about their health. 'Oh you should embrace yourself and love yourself' Yes I do still love myself but I'm not going to embrace being out of breath while climbing the stairs at work. I know I felt so much better before, both physically and mentally. These people need to stop normalising being fat unhealthy, and blaming others for their actions. Edit: wow, I didn't notice there was so many supportive messages. Thanks all, this has given me additional motivation to work out and eat right 👍

Can you give us a update in a bit? Super excited for you. Here's my smoothie recipe and I'm a super picky eater. I used to drink this in the morning for breakfast when I was trying to lose weight. So this recipe called for a whole mango and a whole banana, but smoothies typically have wayyy too much fruit so this is my version; 4 cups spinach or kale (personal choice) 1 cup milk 1 cup of egg whites (you can buy them in a carton, this is for protein. Sounds gross but you really can't taste it) 1/2 a frozen banana or a fresh one up to you And ice for texture again up to you. Anyway once I had all that blended it usually took me a while to finish so helps get the greens in for the day. Hope this helps. Happy journey!

On top of that, I want to be happy, and that can’t happen if i don’t change my lifestyle and get more active. I was actually in the middle of binge-eating when I stumbled upon this video. I’m thanking God that I came across it because it made me stop and realize that I was falling back into an old habit. I am clinically diagnosed with severe depression, and it only gets worse with my poor food choices and lack if exercise. It’s time to wake up and choose life, people, and I’m willing to start today.

Pre-covid I was skiing in Italy and was thinking it was getting harder to do, and also as a scuba diver, getting older was making that harder too. I was thinking I was getting too old for my hobbies, and it would be time to give up. One day I walked passed a full-length mirror and saw my reflection. I was mortified! What the.. had I let myself become. I started a change of eating habits immediately, and over the next couple of month I dropped 15kg. The next dive season was so different! Things I struggled with before were as easy as they had been 20 years before. I'm yet to get back to the skiing (likely be going in Jan 2024) but I suspect I'll be back to my old tricks again. It's not easy, and it's not just 'I'll go on a diet'. To do it properly, you need to change your eating patterns. Crash diets will have you crash back to your previous weight if you don't make the changes permanent. To all those struggling with your weight, all I can offer is the following. 1) Don't use fad diets. 2) Don't be tempted by celebrities advertising various 'magic potions'. 3) Be honest with yourself. Own your mistakes. 4) When you start, you will be tempted to 'sneak' things. That's ok, that's human nature. 5) Don't try to lose huge amounts quickly. That's dangerous on 2 counts (system shock and the fact you'll likely put it back on again as quickly) 6) Target losing about a kilo a week. That's realistic and sustainably Good luck.

@@itsjustbatman I am currently on a weightloss journey. Two things I've found on the way: "do not rush the process" and "consistency is the key". My exercise routine started really simple, but I did it regularly, slooowly adding difficulty as I progressed. First results happened closer to the third month of workout, and going through the first and the second ones was mentally difficult, but totally worth it. Second useful thing is counting calories and proteins/carbs/fats. I've started with cutting out all the excess sugar and adding a lot of vegetables into my ration. Making a schedule for "food intake time" (sorry, can't think of a better way to put it into words) is also really helpful. I eat five times a day, but with smaller portions, and every time a want to eat outside the schedule, I am asking myself - am I really hungry? And if answer is "yes", I eat an apple or two (or some cabbage, broccoli or anything rich in fiber but low on calories). P.S. Someone once told me that the most healthy path for weightloss is when you spend the same amount of time losing weight that you've been gaining it. I lost control over my body during covid times, and for two years everything turned into a mess. So now I am aiming to fix it over the span of two years. Ten months behind, and I am absolutely happy with all the little and big transformations happened along this time.

Honestly as someone on a weight loss journey (down 100lbs now!) I've actually found that it's much cheaper to eat healthier. And by that I mostly mean, no convince meals or fast food. Like I was spending at least $10 a day eating out at fast food so at least $70 a week, sometimes more. That didn't include my bad soda habit, snacks, going out to a sit down restaurant, more snacks for home, tv dinners, ordering pizza, etc. Now I spend $75 for 2 weeks worth of food and that includes eating out at a steak house or a nice Mexican or hibachi place once a week. You think fast food is the cheap option ,and it is in the moment, but in the long run or over the course of a week or two it's not cheaper at all unless maybe your eating off the dollar menu and only getting one thing. In fact the soup I make costs me about $20 to make (and I use higher quality steak and youkon gold potatos, you can use ground bef in this recipe too) and that makes me 8 meals worth of food. Plus I can throw it all in the crock pot before work and it's done when I get home. So it's healthier, saves time, and is only about $2.5 a meal and I feel full and satisfied when I'm done. I used to think eating healthier was really expensive too but I'm saving so much now that I was able to pay for my mom and I to go to Universal studios and she doesn't have to pay a cent for anything. We've never gone on a real vacation before. At most we've driven a town over for the zoo as our version of a vacation. So it is possible. Yeah sometimes I miss just going and grabbing some raising canes or a mcflurry or whatever but honestly I feel so much better now that I don't think those things are worth going back to where I was.

Weight has been a problem for me, for eight years now. I’m only 16 years old. When I was younger I was really sick, so I gained weight quickly. It was when I turned 9 I realized how over weight I was, at that time I was 140 pounds. I really wanted to lose weight, but I didn’t know how, on top of that my mom was really relaxed about sugar, so I continued to gain weight. When I was 11, had reached 180 pounds, my mom had a heart attack at 40. That heart attack was eye opening for her, we started changing the way our family ate, the first thing we did was cut out most of our sugar( nowadays we cut out all sugar ), we also cut out as much seed oil as possible. She ended up cutting out all of her medications: Statins, Blood pressure meds, etc… , and she actually got her blood pressure under control. The next thing was losing weight, we started fasting, before it was so popular . But after all that, there still have bee times when we slipped. The pandemic ruined a lot of things, we fell into old habits again, gained weight back, what really hurt us was moving. In 2022 we moved halfway across the country to a red state, nothing like having your life turned upside down to ruin your diet. Before we moved in January, I was 170 pounds, by December I reached 195 pounds, but new year new goals so now I’m really working hard on my weight. What I hate about the body positivity movement is, they put you down for losing weight, and trying to be healthier. The thing is, I haven’t felt comfortable in my body in a long time. Here’s what it’s really like to be fat: you get sweaty in weird spots, you get winded quickly, low energy you’re always hungry or craving something, you’re skin folds over itself, jeans pinch a lot when you sit straight, bloating hurts like hell, and you can’t fit into nice clothes. So pretty much being fat sucks, that’s just from my experience. The body positive movement should encourage weight loss like it used too, it shouldn’t encourage weight gain, it sucks to be fat.

My mom insisted that I was fat even though I was never actually obese... when I was a kid I was a tad chubby, then I became obsessed with running at the age of 12. My mom never stopped poking or prodding at me, and with all of the models and media telling me what was beautiful, I developed an extreme eating disorder. Running alone kept me thin, but restricting food made me sickly. And the whole time I still thought I was fat.

8 years ago I suffered my second miscarriage, and spiraled into a sever depression. I gain almost 100lbs. The weight gain made things feel like crap. Prior to my depression, I was fit most of my life. I missed feeling energetic and full of energy. I hated feeling winded from a set of stairs or feeling sick from a particularly hardy meal. I also was heckled in a gym (by a group of women) and didn’t wanna return. It wasn’t till I got to a point of just being tired of being tired. I started working out at home and eating better. I’m down about half the weight I gained, and I am hoping to be gone with the rest by the end of the year. I love not feeling sore or tired all the time and I love that I can keep up with my 5 year old son. A co-worker once told me that getting fit and loosing weight was me bowing down to fat-phobia. Then I am glad I did, because that “internalized fat-phobia” is what got me a better quality of life.

Yes having a sore back makes it harder (i am NOT making excuses), but at least i am making the effort to go to the gym and to the swimming pool to try and do as much exercise as i can manage and to make the effort of trying to go on a diet. The younger generation need to change their attitude, stop playing the victim and realise that they are the only ones who can change the situation that they are in. 😮💨

I’m unfortunately in the obese category, it’s so weird to say. I was fit and thin my whole life until 9 years ago. I’ve been healing my trauma and feel so good on all emotional fronts but now I have this weight to deal with. I’m working on it, it’s super hard but I’m determined. I have 3 kids and a amazing husband who is so supportive and kind and loves me at any shape (which is so hard to wrap my mind around, we got together at 19), but it’s not a badge I am trying to wear with honor. All this “oh I have internalized fat phobia” crap… No, that’s your soul screaming at you that you are out of balance and you need to make changes. And instead of taking responsibility for yourself you’re blaming banks and the prison system? Where the f-- am I? We ignore health, science and statistics because we want people to feel better about themselves? How is that helpful in the long run? I don’t understand this place. I want to be around for my grandchildren and take care of my parents when they are so old they can’t care for themselves anymore, I want to grow old with my husband. I want my daughters to look at me with pride and I want to run around and play with them… None of that will happen if I keep telling myself that I’m “perfect the way I am”. We should always be striving to be better, I can’t understand how people are fighting to stay the same…

As a freshman in high school, I genuinely felt bad about myself because I weighed a lot through 7th and 8th grade. It was bad to the point in 8th grade when I was 25 pounds overweight. For my height included, I was supposed to weigh 115-118 but I weighed 140. So, I stopped feeling bad for myself. I joined the tennis team this year and I work out every week, with practice included. Now I am down to 119-120. I've never been happier in my own body. It's not just about what others say but it's about yourself. You can't feel sorry for yourself when you can change things and go down the right path. But I want to thank you, Brett, for speaking the facts that everyone needs to hear. And for anyone struggling I promise, do it for yourself, it's hard but you will get there. It is about want, take it from me. You will feel better about yourself and you will be happier, don't give up, and don't starve or punish yourself. Work out and you can eat whatever you want as well as eat healthy too so that it is balanced, you got this.

I had an unfortunate conversation with a former acquaintance. This was like a decade ago, me and a group of friends went to an art museum during a preRenaissance exhibit. There were several paintings with "slightly" overweight women in them and one of the girls in our group, who was pushing 200 pounds, was just over the moon about them. She literally told everyone "Look, there's heavy women in all these paintings so why is it such a big deal today?" I understand she was having body image issues but I had to do. I basically told her the truth that the reasons so many of the women were slightly overweight was because back then a person with weight on them was a sign a wealth. It meant that they weren't slaving in fields growing food and had enough money to eat in excess. Also woman with some weight on them were also a sign of fertility, which back then was true. That's all I said, not even in a condescending manner but you could just see her die a little inside. Call me a bitch but none of those women where obese or close to the 200 mark as this girl was. Even to this day she's even heavier but that has nothing to do with what I said back then. I've seen her happily gorge herself on fatty food and never exercise. Last time I checked she's pre-diabetic(might have it now) and has horrible back issues.

It seems she just wanted to have a moment where she could feel good about herself. She unfortunately picked the wrong person to share this thought with. Did your straight talk help her lose the weight? Since you have been monitoring her personal habits, you have witnessed that your comments did not encourage her to lose weight. People who need help need allies, not enemies. If you believe in the saying, "Less is More", then keeping your mouth shut could have fostered a better outcome than indirectly telling her she was fat and killing herself.

One historical comment a decade ago about a legit fact on the art we were observing had nothing to do with her past or current weight issues. Even the museum curator stated the same thing because it's become a common misconception with today's "fat acceptance" movement. People struggling with weight have idolized and embraced the images of slightly overweight muses instead of knowing, or let alone wanting to know the actual meanings behind them just to feel good about themselves. As for this girl in particular, who was constantly putting other women in our friends group down for being smaller than her, calling us 'skinny b*tches' and wearing clothes 3 times too small to flirt with guys while she had a boyfriend? What I said didn't hurt her confidence, it bruised her inflated ego and shown light on her little knowledge of something she was projecting on. And yes, we have worked out with each other plenty of times before and after this day but unlike the rest of us she gives up on any exercise or diet within days of starting. She even got her doctor to approve weight loss surgery just to think she could gorge on fatty foods and had to be hospitalized for it. But sure, totally my fault for 'opening my mouth'...

So I came up with "rational self acceptance." You should love yourself radically, but you should NEVER accept yourself radically. Everyone has room to improve, and rational self acceptance will not only improve the way you think about depression, anxiety, obesity, and other health issues, but will help you deal with hard situations in your life.

I remember trying everything I could to make myself feel better to avoid my problems. Eventually I realized that I couldn’t keep living an unhealthy life style. So I literally cycled and did strength training every week and I lost I believe more than 50 pounds. I am 158 and I’m still on my weight loss journey. It’s hard work but it’s the best thing i’ve done for myself in a very long time. Hearing this video really made me feel better too because I felt like I really had to love myself and be okay with my weight while continuing getting mouth-feed by tiktokers online that being fat is okay and you don’t need to change yourself. it’s really a harsh truth and that’s what makes people in denial. for me though, once I took one step in losing weight there was no going back for me.

HOWEVER, when I was growing up... the images portrayed as "beautiful" in magazines and television ads were of extremely thin women. Those were the beauty standards we had to try and live up to. Thoughts like "If only I were thin, maybe they would like me more," and "I must weigh myself every. single. day. and make sure I'm less than 100 pounds," destroyed the minds of many young and impressionable girls and boys. I still struggle with distorted thoughts like those nowadays, and I'm in my late twenties.

i used to be around 22 pounds overweight. even tho it was much, i didn't look overweight it negatively affected my life, i cant even begin to imagine what it feels like to be 50, or even a 100 pounds overweight! my thighs rubbed together so hard that they started bleeding. i've lost 47 pounds in the last ~ 6-7 months, while still eating pizza, chocolate and chips! the trick is to have moderation and walking a lot :) 19 pounds left in my weightloss journey!

@@Misty7612 I started by calculating my TDEE, you can do that online. then i just ate under the given calories. i also went to the gym often, i walk to places rather than taking the bus or driving, it burns so many more calories! i dont drink sugary drinks, only sugarfree, theyre usually calorie free as well. that way i didnt have to give up soda! protein bars are a great way to combat hunger for sweets, as well as getting in some filling protein. i eat breakfast!!! its very important. usually i eat fruit and nestles fitness bars (90 kcal each! and also contain fiber). i lost around 35 pounds healthily but then relapsed to my eating disorder, im not going to share what ive been doing now, since i dont want anyone to imitate my unhealthy actions. (trying to recover tho!!) but the things i mentioned before helped me a lot. oh yeah also lohilo and halo-top ice cream! theyre low in calories, have protein and taste amazing :)

I can think of ONE positive to being fat, and that is insulation. I've been a skinny legend my entire life and I get cold so easily because of how little body fat I have. But I see no other positives.

When she started talking about “the good things about the fat experience” I for sure thought that she would mention insulation and cushioning cause those are like the only two things I feel is good about the fact that I’m overweight. Like I can run into something and it won’t hurt too bad cause I’m cushioned, and if I fall it’s alright I’m cushioned… but no she went for “other people can’t tell you’re bloated” which is stupid because when I’m bloated I don’t really care how others feel, I care about the fact that I’m uncomfortable. lol I was really disappointed

As someone who has been obese for half my life, it hurts me to see how these people ruin their lives. Losing fat was the best decision I ever made.

Honestly this is so important. I knew obesity was so dangerous anyway, but I’ve had issues with food since I was a child, I used to have anorexia and now I’ve got the other way and I’m the biggest I’ve ever been. I literally got home 20 minutes ago from being hospitalised from pancreatitis, due to my weight and eating habits. Such a wake up call. I understand the appeal of ‘your body is fine there’s nothing wrong with you’ but this is so scary. I have to follow an extremely low fat and high protein diet now and can’t drink any alcohol because I’ve neglected my body so much, I’m only 26 and I’m not ‘that’ big. Keep spreading this message Brett, we need ya.

I feel this! I was anorexic, very underweight and my "recovery" was just me deciding to binge eat. Nobody helped me with my binge eating disorder because they saw it as a better option to Anorexia. Now I'm really struggling to lose weight again without slipping into something unhealthy in either direction, but I think I'm ready to begin taking on the challenge.

I used to be miserably obese. Discovering the true ketogenic way of living was a breakthrough, but I also had to recognize and accept that I'm an addict. The weight came off steadily and quickly when I gave up carbohydrates. Through education, I upgraded my mindset and wholeheartedly embraced a different relationship with food. I'm at my target weight, wearing size 6 Levi's, hiking, and grateful for making my health a priority. But like all addicts, I have to be aware that temptations to relapse are all around me. I'm not preaching, just saying what worked for me because I wanted it with all my heart. PS: I started at age 65. You're never too old, but I wish I'd known better sooner.

Keto was a life saver for me as well. I was met with a lot of critical feedback from family when I changed my habits from pop tarts and chicken nuggets to bacon and eggs and leafy green salads. They told me keto was unhealthy but 3yrs keto and 65lbs kept off, I feel better than I ever have. I'm glad I didn't listen to others about carbs!

I didn’t grow up in a healthy food environment; neither did my husband. We’ve had to learn so much about being healthy as adults. I’ve tried lots of different things, and many of them probably went too far into disordered eating. It really is hard to find a healthy balance and create a healthy food environment for our children!

One thing you can do to be more active is when you watch tv or KZitem videos or whatever, pick a segment of your watch time to get off the couch/bed and start walking in place and doing certain physical activities such as squats, side steps, jumping jax, etc. Also eat in moderation so you can still eat the food you want. You don’t have to be a size 2 or 4 to be healthy. Being obese is not healthy over time. Also, surgery is often denied due to weight (not the lap ban or liposuction) because the combination of weight and surgery would put a major stress on your heart and lungs.

I’m fat, i hate it. I have to fight against it and it is such a mental fight. But I don’t pretend that I won’t be healthier if I can lose weight. I don’t pretend that I wasn’t the one who did this to myself. And honestly, it’s embarrassing to see these women trying to force people to love their bodies.
