My parents are 440lbs, 5'6, 55 and 430lbs 5'11, 63 and honestly they were more capable than me up until... a few months ago? Thing is I'm 3x disabled (broken down hip femur, osteoarthritis, scoliosis and have been morbidly obese from 8-18, struggling since but now my biggest struggle is not dropping too low.) They're not. So we, as a whole family, started underestimating the obesity issue and they still do and heck I'm still jealous of what their bodies can compared to mine. I just bust my ass in the gym, fun stuff (lifting) and non-fun stuff (cardio, stretching, certain exercises) Even now when my mother bitches about her pain and aches, I didn't realise until a stranger pointed out 'you always relate to her but 'I had this too two years ago' aka when you were still obese, isn't that hurtful? I think neither of us actually relates it to obesity in the moment. I genuinely believe to be morbidly obese you're mentally suffering from something that makes you unable to be honest with yourself and you genuinely don't make the connections anymore. Especially since the change happens so gradually and it's easy to blame short term changes in the moment. Because if you can, you'd... you'd change, especially someone as educated as my mother.

That is actually a very clever analogy. Not to mention doctors are told to go down the checklist route and check off/look into the most obvious and common cases first - and being overweight is very often the most common issue for a myriad of problems. Like I had massive joint pain in my ankle, so my doctor asked me to loose weight, which was frustrating to me because I knew it wasn't that. but I did it anyways, and when it was still painfull, they did an MRI and turns out - fractured ankle. I would love to be mad and say that they should just have taken a scan right away and not blame it on my weight, but to be completely honest, it was such a small fracture and they had trouble seeing it on the scan - so it's a fair chance that my extra weight would make it even more difficult to see it and possibly be missed. And loosing the weight put me in a better position to heal from the operation they needed to do to fix it, it also made me heal quicker as I had better blood flow etc.

I know what you mean, it's a good analogy. It makes absolute sense. Experience wise though... I feel like I have too much experience otherwise, and would have definitely easily fallen under the percentage of people that felt like they weren't listened to. Growing up, for every school checkup, they'd calculate our bmi and ages 9 and up I'd be told I'm "nearing overweight". At 19 I finally had enough, because no amount of sport or dieting would lower my bmi and became anorexic, ending up in the hospital. I'm still undoing the damage done. Another one, completely different doctors; 3 years of complaining about "stomach pain", got told to "not eat as much and loose some weight". Ended up with a severe gallbladder inflammation, & emergency operation for it not to burst. I still have ridiculous pain tolerance I've build up from that, where I don't feel pain until it's no longer a damage signal but sever damage. Endometriosis? Nah man, I just need to lose wight, it'll magically disappear. That or get a baby. If they were right on that one I'd be a walking miracle. There's a few others, but long story short, to continue your analogy: I don't need a doctor to tell me to get out of the pool, cause there's a very good chance I can't do it on my own if I'm looking to him for help. I need a doctor that looks at me, at my gun wound, at my bleeding, and tends a hand, so that I can get out and not die trying to get out on my own.

Like her, I was adamant that I was perfectly healthy, fit and able to function while being underweight - I was a college athlete doing cross country and studying physics at one of the most prestigious universities in the world. Like her, I was also in denial that my body would catch up to me and what I was doing but it did, and I also nearly died from three organs failing. It took both of us nearly losing our lives to realize that what our doctors were saying was right all along.

You don't get lung cancer after ONE cigarette. It's cumulatve. It happens over time... It might take a decade, two or three for you to suffer the consequences of unhelathy choices.

This is the equivalent of waking into a cancer group and complaining there isn't enough talk about diabetes. Five your space or create your space. Underweight issues are very very real and should be discussed, but not by paying into the overweight space and taking over. They are two different issues and deserve their own, separate, discussions.

It kills, which doesn't mean anyone who is overweight should ever be treated with contempt, ridicule, or disdain - should always be treated with the same respect and dignity as anyone else. Separate issues that are often conflated sadly. Good on you for caring for yourself and your future.

I had much less energy, got aches and pains, had difficulty doing too many things, and my joints hurt. Less sharp mentally too. You can't tell anyone who's ever been thin and fat that obesity doesn't take it's toll. This is at least true when you're not very young. The first time I was obese was 28 and the second was 39. I didn't feel it so much the first time but did the second. This is why fat acceptance people despise people who used to be obese, lost the excess fat, and kept it off. Because we know the truth. AND we show what's possible.

As a Covid survivor when she said “intubated” I shuddered, I was so petrified of that outcome. The healthier and fitter you are the better chance you have of avoiding serious symptoms if you ever get sick. I was SO glad that I have been taking my fitness and nutrition more seriously for the past few years when I was bedridden and scared. I have severe asthma but my doctor wasn’t worried because I have been taking my health seriously and I always supplement vitamin D because I’m a pale Canadian. (Vitamin D deficiency can make Covid a lot worse if you get it so please ask your doctor about supplementing!!) Following the HAES movement will only make you weaker and more vulnerable with each passing day which is the LAST thing people need at times like these. My morbidly obese aunt had kissed me on the cheek a few days before I got sick and I was cursing myself for letting her. She would have had little hope of recovery especially given that she is in her mid-60’s. I was laying in bed gasping and burning and pleading with fate not to allow her to catch it. I am so so so thankful she didn’t catch it from me but living through Covid really put the importance of health and fitness into perspective. I went into it fit, young, and healthy and it had me bedridden for nearly a month with residual symptoms for three months. It was also incredibly painful. People should aim to get fitter with age to protect themselves instead of allowing themselves to get fatter with age.

I would hope the acronym would switch to “happiness at every size” because that’s what we’re really searching for. To be happy with ourselves and our bodies in the moment and not to be ridiculed by others or by societal standards of body image. That there is no set mold for each individual as to how we should look like.

"It's gradual the change as you gain weight and as you get bigger, you don't notice the mobility that you lose, you don't notice the pain you start to put up with everyday, you don't notice the soreness, the fatigue, or if you do, there's many convenient things to blame it on" God if this wasn't 100% me. I didn't even notice how much harder it had gotten to go on long walks with the dog, I just thought I was tired from not sleeping enough. I didn't even notice how much harder it had gotten to just stand for a longer time, because I thought I just had a bad sense of balance. I didn't even notice how much longer it took for me to recover after walking up a flight of stairs, I just thought I walked too fast. All these everyday things that I could do with perfect ease before suddenly didn't feel as easy anymore, and I didn't think my weight had such a huge role in that change. After losing about 10kg it's almost as different as night and day. Stairs are EASY now, I never feel tired in the middle of a walk like I did before, my balance has gotten much better when I stand even though I have more to work on there since it's simultaneously true that I have a pretty bad sense of balance lol my weight just made it worse. You don't notice the gradual changes when it happens and that's what's so scary.

As a 44-year-old I can attest after losing 100 pounds with over 100 to go that you WILL feel better and notice a difference in your health in all areas. Carrying 360 pounds is difficult plain and simple even though you can make a ton of excuses to the “why” it is the weight that is the main reason. My weight caused pancreatitis and I had to have emergency surgery to remove my gall bladder and I was only 34 at the time. Stay positive and good luck to everyone working towards good health.

It's weird because it seems so obvious now, but literally the thing that finally got me to realize how incorrect the HAES thing was (because I'm also big and have always had fine bloodwork/etc.) was someone saying "that'd be like someone saying 'smoking isn't bad for you' because they personally haven't developed lung cancer yet." It was a MASSIVE eye opener! I'm proud to say I've lost 40lbs now (working on more) and my BP is better, my mobility and endurance are way better, and I'm beyond grateful I climbed out of the tar trap that is the HAES movement. (I don't disagree with everything they say but the idea that 'bodies just come in different sizes' and 'fat isn't unhealthy' is not one I agree with anymore.)

Any personal friend or family member of mine who is over 300 lbs are suffering. Most are house bound, disabled, cannot work, and have core morbitities associated with their weight. Its fact. Some of us have made a change for our health and it shows in many ways. The ones who have chosen to change can truly enjoy life and mobility more easily.

I absolutely love John's channel. At the tail end of 2017 and throughout 2018, I lost 60lb. I was 220lb and I am now 160lb. Watching this channel kept me motivated. I love how civil John is and how sweet he is when discussing a controversial topic or something he doesn't agree with. He advocates for health, not weight loss only. Now, health for a lot of people means they DO need to lose weight. I love that fact it is often acknowledged that losing weight when you're severely overweight or obese, is a side effect of getting healthy, not the over all goal. I wish people would wake up to this fact. Health at every size is a joke and absolutely not true. You cannot be a 5'6 woman and be 300lb and consider yourself healthy. You can't be a 6'0 man and weighing only 130lb and think that is okay, because it is not. Health is being in a happy middle ground, not on the extreme end of either spectrum. HAES is a dangerous 'movement' that encourages bad habits and validates unhealthy lifestyles.

I’ve always been a bit overweight, but in the last three years, I got fat. And yes, I say fat. I know we aren’t “fat,” we HAVE fat, but I’m comfortable using that term because accepting that I was fat was what made me want to change. My dad has also been overweight. He had a heart attack three months ago. It made me change. I realized that the path I was on was bound to lead to a heart attack probably before I got to be his age. I’m about a month into my journey. I’ve changed my nutrition, and I’m working out every single day. I am so grateful that I found your channel and that you make videos like this. I used to think “I’m fat and it’s fine. Fight me.” Then I realized I’m fat, and that doesn’t mean I’m ugly or a bad person, but it does mean I’m killing myself slowly.

I do think a point was made by her in painting out she GAINED in adulthood as well. People who were always slightly bigger and then continue to be bigger never felt a body that was anything different then bigger then "average", Many people talk about wanting their young-person body back, but there are those of us who never were accepted in the 'average body type' group and we do feel more love within Health at Any Size or Body Positive movements. Because you feel like you are finally being told you were born ok and you were always ok. And that is powerful. That being said, I am almost 40 and trying to lose weight. I am sick of constantly feeling like I don't 'fit' (airplanes, park rides, chairs, etc.). I know how much of my habits is bad habits and emotional eating vs. the 'natural' state of my body. The hard part is that people treat you the same months after you start a fitness program. I litterally had someone ask 'why are you still fat' despite the fact that before COVID I was over 300lbs and now I'm in the 280s. Going from 3x to 2x you can have personal pride, but still get an outside smack down for it not being good enough. And while I am trying to focus on the progress I know I made, the outside noise of 'not enough' can be coddled in body positivity and that's what I struggle with. I think that 'acceptance' can be both a positive and negative thing and it's really hard to balance. But I get so angry when people are shamed for wanting to make a body change.

You can change your own mentality and you can mold yourself into what you want. I'm 305 now and still working at it because it isn't over. Watch your calories, watch what you eat -- but also go easy on yourself. Exercise is good too, use them together, but you can't out-exercise a bad diet. I ain't tryna go out like John Candy or Chris Farley. I am very focused on my own health rather than my looks or my weight, my grandfather had bad heart issues, my family has a history of diabetes and right now I'm perfectly healthy aside from my weight -- so if I work on that I'll never have to deal with that and I can only benefit from being healthy.

And the decline happens much more rapidly for larger bodies. Also, I find it interesting that her fan has an rpm that synchs with her camera's frame rate

I really needed to hear this. I have definitely been chasing losing weight rather than chasing health. My reason for wanting to lose weight is health so that should be my focus. The numbers are part of the process, not the entire motivation for making healthy changes.

I've just discovered this channel and I love it so much. We find what we need when we need it. I have been overweight my entire life. I'm 48 and very overweight. I FINALLY made it to this place...loving myself enough to change and be healthier. I'm almost a year in to going to the gym 4 days a week. And now, I'm changing the way and the things I eat. My husband is also doing this with me. He's always told me he loves me just the way I am. And I've always been the same. Now we've learned to love each other enough to encourage each other to get healthier and more fit.

Question!! For anybody! (At the end, bear with me) I'm a medical student and I love to watch John's videos exactly for the reason that they exemplify talking about a sensitive topic with kindness and patience. I've never in my life been overweight, I'm actually the type of person to struggle to gain weight (I would like more muscular mass to do certain activities). Being in the crux of studying illness, being overweight and/or obese has been shown, study after study, to be an independent risk factor for so many diseases, worsen the symptoms, etc so it really becomes a huge confounding factor when looking at a patient. Not only that but I live in Colombia, so keep in mind that here we avoid over testing a lot more than in the US because of costs and also ethics (over testing is also malpractice). I know 98% of people here are not medical professionals - but I've asked my professors that deal with obese patients and honestly their answers feel unsatisfactory from a regular person perspective - so I want to ask you guys (people in this community where many have a history with excess fat) how would you like to be approached on these "moderate medical annoyances" so as to not sound like a broken cd record and end up getting ignored and instead actually motivate action? For us, those annoyances are the bells and whistles that should alert people it's time to make a change. Genuinely would appreciate hearing your 2 cents, regardless of your education level, background, etc. This isn't just a question for John, although that would be very cool, I would greatly appreciate the perspective of regular people.

Non-clinical Medical professional here. 30 bmi for myself. I think it might be only morbidly obese or super morbidly obese people that actually get told to lose weight. Only once have I been told 'You're obese', and that was from my gyno. With my job, I now know the reason she commented on it, and very surprisingly my Vitamin D level (I'm VERY pale), is because they are NCQA quality indicators. I'd be curious to see if this is true. Has any other overweight to just barely into obese person had their provider address their weight?

my stepdad had a bad stroke at 50, mainly caused by his weight and unhealthy lifestyle, which had him in a coma for 4 months and partly paralizes for almost 2 years. He had to go to so many therapy session to regain mobility. Before his stroke, he and my mom never cared about healthy eating habits, even so that I became 30kg overweight as a tween. I slimmed down in my teens after being fed up and started cooking for myself. The stroke did a 180 to my parents‘ view on health and food.

I’m 220 and I’m so scared for my health. What did I do to myself...10lbs down and still have to lose 40lbs just to get into the overweight class.... Obese class 2, not even 30 and I have insane back and knee pains. I don’t want to live like this anymore. I already have less pains and more mobility - that is my motivation.

What I realised watching this is how much the conversation has changed about what 'overweight' is, on the extreme + end. Like, 'only 100lbs' overweight just doesn't sound like that much anymore in body pos communities, I'm so used to people being so much more extreme than that.

thank you for talking about pursuing healthy habits/a healthier lifestyle instead of just focusing on the weight. when I first started swimming again I wasn't losing weight even though I was feeling better, stronger, and overall healthier. but it was really disheartening to look at the scale and feel like I wasn't making any progress.

I got to my biggest size the same way she did. I eat healthy, just too much. (I do eat too much candy--quite the sweet tooth--but I'm trying to cut back.) I'm not a yo-yo dieter. I started gaining weight in university but it went faster in my late twenties and early thirties. Then I was pregnant in my late thirties. I'm 44 now. Also, I think last time I commented on one of your videos I was in the 270s and I'm in the 260s now, so slowly losing again. I'm looking forward to 250; I'm going to reward myself with a new dress. (I'm 5'9" and my highest weight was 299, about a year after my child was born, but mostly I've been in the 280s for the last four years. In high school I was 165.) I am as healthy as I can be right now, but that includes pinched nerves, sore hips and knees, plantar fasciitis, and some new/worsening food sensitivities that run in my mom's family. We eat fast food maybe twice a week, as we live in the country so options there are limited. I make most of our meals. We don't eat enough vegetables or fruit; mostly we eat meat, dairy, and rice/pasta/bread. I want to find more ways to incorporate vegetables into our meals. I am generally physically able to do all of the things I want/need to do; this past week I helped my husband with the chicken coop he's building, which involved helping lift and position large insulated panels of wood. I don't have as much upper body strength as I would like, but I was still able to help with that and we got the walls up and the roof on before it snowed. (The hens live in the garage right now; the excess roosters are in a run with a shelter.) I liked her video a lot. One thing that frustrates me to no end about the Intuitive Eating and HAES dietitians is how sure they are that this is good for everyone, when I literally do not fit the profile that the IE book expects. Diet culture hasn't caused me to gain the weight, I'm not a yo-yo dieter and in fact have very rarely tried any diets in order to lose weight, and I don't binge. Overeating is not the same as bingeing. On top of that, I don't eat "diet" foods, opting for full-fat dairy (I don't trust things like low or no-fat yogurt or sour cream, since fat is supposed to be the main ingredient in both) and avoiding artificial sweeteners as much as possible due to the aftertaste. Like, all of the things these people say diet culture pushes on us are things I don't do and have never done. Heck, I have a Fitbit simply because I like to compare my steps each day, and while I weigh myself every morning I only record it once a week; the numbers are data points but do not affect my self-esteem. Apparently I had a lot of thoughts. ANYWAY. Thank you for these videos. I really enjoy them.

I wasn't even that old or overweight when I started having leg problems, I also tried to convince myself that this were the problems of an older woman, hahahaha let's just say that the exercise and the weight drop improve my legs issues and I no longer have this problem.

I was a healthy kid but after puberty my body went haywire and I gained about 20kg. I didn’t know this at the time but I developed PCOS. It wouldn’t be another 10 years until a really caring doctor actually tried to get to the root of the problem instead of just blaming me for eating too much. When I finally found out, I got medication, went on an insulin resistance-friendly diet and lost 5kg. I finally knew wtf had been going on with me and was able to conceive my son. Thank god for good doctors who don’t just tell you you’re fat and don’t try to help.
