00:00:00.000 I don't know, you guys are speaking, I don't know, what I have to say is, body positivity is, to me, just really accepting the way you look, and for me, ain't gonna lie, I agree with, to some, I do agree with a lot of what you're saying, and, but when you, when being overweight has been an issue your whole life, and then people are also, people also make comments as an adult,
00:00:28.300 like, people have always just targeted you for that, and to me, to be honest, it just scrambled my head, and it wasn't good for me, so body positivity, to me, is basically accepting the way you look, and to be honest, I hated, I wasn't happy with my body, Pearl, I really wasn't, and,
00:00:50.780 are you happy with it now, I am, okay, okay, firstly, I'm like, I am what I am, but I make, I make conscious decisions, like, to eat healthy things, yeah, and I'm also not gonna lie, and say, I'm the most healthiest, because,
00:01:06.980 well, last week you were saying, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, yeah, but today is about, is where, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
00:01:14.260 with personal trainers, yeah, of course, I love chicken and tits, and certain things, um, and I can't help it,
00:01:23.420 we too, but in moderation, no, no, it's not about moderation, my weight is old weight, but I actually,
00:01:28.880 I get it, I can't have it in the house, otherwise I'll just eat the whole box, whatever it is, whatever it is, whatever it is,
00:01:32.720 in the house my dad actually has cancer so in my house everything is there's no processed food at
00:01:38.400 all and that's why it's just literally you have to if you want to drink drink you have to juice
00:01:43.520 it yourself if you want to get ice cream you want to you to make it yourself and it's full of vitacol
00:01:48.240 because like boxes so that's how it goes and then there's not even a microwave at home as well so i
00:01:54.800 can't actually heat my food like everything is basically in the best way that i can cook and
00:02:01.040 what about the people out there who are maybe in a similar situation to you where they don't have
00:02:05.360 access to processed or unhealthy foods at home but they still seek those things when they're out of
00:02:10.960 the house what what would you say to those people who actively seek unhealthy food i'd say my advice
00:02:19.040 honestly would be you don't want a heart attack you don't want to die early you want to survive
00:02:27.280 you want to build some memories you want to be a grandmother or a grandpa and it's important to
00:02:32.880 actually think and that's what i mean you need to but wouldn't that be a better message for the body
00:02:38.320 positivity movement to say rather than love yourself 100 like what you just said you just because you
00:02:45.200 you could you could get cancelled nowadays for what sugar puff okay no because it's like you know if
00:02:50.400 like lizzo comes out and says hey i'm i'm i want to start losing weight all the fans start coming for her
00:02:57.280 and you know she she just wants to better herself and get healthy it's like if you're saying oh you're
00:03:01.920 going to die soon and no i don't i don't think it's like that for me it's literally i am not delusional
00:03:08.880 with myself i am big i know i'm big but at the end of the day i don't promote the reason why i'm for
00:03:17.360 body positivity is because people literally get mistreated and i'm against that and especially with how do you
00:03:24.800 how do you think that how do you how do you think people get mistreated um well i was 28 stones i was
00:03:31.680 at my biggest um now i'm 21 and and like i said i've been eating healthy and i've actually actively
00:03:38.480 been trying yes i'm not on it with the exercise but you could be remember yes we could we could
00:03:46.560 actually i actually want muscles you know i actually do want muscles but that's why body
00:03:51.360 positivity is important the representation is important now i understand what what about like
00:03:57.440 smoking you know i mean like like like what if we wanted to normalize smoking and put smoking on the
00:04:02.400 okay at the end of the day smoking is literally your it's a different method smoking is
00:04:07.920 that's what smoking is and eating is you're using your mouth you're using your teeth and your taste
00:04:16.960 buds are working with smoking it's just well my point is like normalizing something that's i would
00:04:22.400 say obesity like yeah it's it's an ill i mean i don't know i don't even think it's about normalizing
00:04:28.960 people just need to gain some respect and know that people are individuals now if you really want to
00:04:36.720 make an active difference if you guys really want to make an active difference when you see a big
00:04:40.640 person you'd be like come on man let's run or let's play a game or let's do something like
00:04:45.760 actively make a difference i would challenge you as well to find me like a body positivity movement
00:04:50.640 that's like eat junk do whatever you want that's not what it is yeah well it's not promoting unhealthy
00:04:56.320 no i see girls do it all the time they do what i eat in a day i just reacted to one the other day
00:05:01.200 it was like four oh my gosh yes a lot of eating yes it's like fourth i counted four thousand five
00:05:06.800 hundred calories what yeah that's what i said four thousand five hundred calories in a day they do
00:05:12.640 like this is what i ate today as a fat person i think this is what yeah i'm against that and and
00:05:17.440 i'm like to me that's like like this is how i smoked right i i don't think we should normalize it with
00:05:22.640 that like for me personally i would never show uh that because i don't want to promote unhealthy things
00:05:28.720 in the same way that if i smoked or vaped i wouldn't show me smoking or vaping on my page
00:05:33.200 because it's not something that i would be proud of you know um but like i i wouldn't support that
00:05:38.480 and i wouldn't call that the body positivity movement for what it means to me is people just
00:05:42.800 accepting themselves for who they are um wanting the best of themselves and i don't think there's
00:05:47.040 anything wrong with that whether you're fat whether you're skinny whether you're anorexic i think
00:05:50.240 that the body positivity movement applies to you i think it's just enjoying who you are and not
00:05:54.720 letting that hold if i thought too much about what i look in a bikini i would never wear one
00:05:58.080 you know but i don't care so i just wear one and i enjoy how i feel i'm pro i'm pro modesty you
00:06:02.640 know what i mean yeah but i mean you can have a modest bikini can i tell you what's wrong with
00:06:09.520 that with the world let's see what's wrong with the world big statement okay no no that is a big
00:06:15.200 statement no i'll tell you i'll tell you go ahead go ahead it's a pod this is what we're here to do come on
00:06:23.360 everyone everyone has an issue with everyone everyone is like no they should be like this
00:06:30.160 they should be like that everyone just needs to simply mind their own business and and when i say
00:06:35.040 that i don't mean in a bad way it's like for example he like you said i don't know if you said it did you
00:06:41.760 say fat shaming works is that what yeah okay so for example fat shaming now imagine an unhealthy person
00:06:48.000 like me and i i mean i try and be healthy yes but it is what it is and i'm body positive because i i
00:06:54.640 honestly i've learned to love my body now a pearl and i'm sticking with that but if i can lose weight
00:06:59.920 i would as well so no no no no body positivity is all about just accepting the way you look and being
00:07:11.360 happy and actually just be like yeah i think we should always be trying to get better no yes we can
00:07:17.840 we should always be trying to improve we can get better but sugar puff it doesn't mean we can't
00:07:22.320 be fly and look hot and press ourselves i was just to your point though sugar puff right you said
00:07:29.120 what's wrong with the world people are saying you should live this way you should live this way but
00:07:32.400 it's not it say it's the body positivity movement saying hey we should be comfortable as this
00:07:38.000 where realistically what if that's killing you and then to your point as well what pearl's saying if
00:07:42.960 it's like smoking smoking's an addiction you brought up comfort eating and that's how
00:07:47.440 people cope that's an addiction so it's you can treat it the same as smoking we're going to promote
00:07:52.720 smoking as it's all it's all sweet you know if you're comfortable smoking and you're happy smoking
00:07:57.360 keep doing it we're not saying you should live that way we're just saying not even we it's not
00:08:01.680 even we just i think rational people are saying if you're going to keep going down that route you're
00:08:06.800 probably going to die you're going to lower your life expectancy that's not okay so imagine that's just
00:08:11.520 the truth imagine look you're a fit person you're fit you exercise i can see that you take care of
00:08:16.800 yourself and that now imagine yeah there's a big person and they're already kind of suffering we
00:08:23.840 know they're unhealthy they're suffering they've got knee problems they've got all sorts and now
00:08:30.080 they ain't even they're not even surviving like they're finding it hard and i'm talking about an
00:08:33.920 unhealthy big person and now you're saying ah you're fat ha ha ha when i would never do that
00:08:41.040 never do that who does that i just want people do and that's what i faced i have faced that pearl
00:08:47.360 that's the sad thing i faced it so when you i'm sorry obviously you may not do that but people do
00:08:53.040 that i'd like to hear from the pt i want to i want to see how you respond to this yeah i have a cousin
00:08:58.080 from trinidad two weeks ago that died from a cardiac arrest due to over obesity now she was one of the
00:09:08.000 most comfortable in asking happiest person make everyone laugh type of person and she was definitely
00:09:17.280 unbothered with this entire world would you call that body positivity that's very sad and i'm sorry for
00:09:23.520 your loss um no i don't think that what you've just said relates to body positivity um i think
00:09:30.400 that's incredibly unfortunate what's happened but like do i think that if people had been harsher on
00:09:35.040 her she would have lost the weight no i i don't you know i don't think that's how it works i don't think
00:09:39.760 being mean to people
