00:00:00.000 today's topic we are talking about body positivity so my first question is just
00:00:05.760 a general question do you think body positivity is a good thing yes or no
00:00:10.440 starting here and then go around absolutely I think was the body
00:00:14.280 positivity benefits everyone and it's an individual thing that you have to
00:00:18.360 cultivate within self and it manifests for other people to perceive positive
00:00:22.800 win-win all around all right what do you think I definitely agree and I think
00:00:26.840 that you need to be comfortable within your own body as well and if you can be
00:00:33.140 positive and love yourself then you can you know accept everybody else as well
00:00:38.280 okay um I think it's a good thing maybe in a way but then if you maybe look at
00:00:46.040 the health side then maybe sometimes body positivity might not be such a good
00:00:51.740 thing okay so um what do you mean by that um just um you know I think that being
00:01:00.740 body confident you know you come in you can come in all sorts of different
00:01:03.800 shapes and sizes but if you're at a point where you might be at risk of certain
00:01:09.920 health issues then you have to bear that in mind that's a subject that also needs
00:01:14.900 to be incorporated into that okay what do you think um I think the word body
00:01:20.140 positivity can be used quite loosely um I think there's a lot behind it and I
00:01:25.240 think it's really about becoming a better version of yourself um and through
00:01:29.380 that there are many channels um so I I do believe in it and I believe it's
00:01:34.240 important uh self-love okay body positivity a good thing well I mean when I look at
00:01:41.800 body positivity I just see a bunch of marketing directors getting together and
00:01:45.140 like how can we trick people into over consuming and label it as something nice
00:01:50.660 so I'm a big proponent of having good mental health and I think that you can't
00:01:58.120 have good mental health if you're sitting around thinking of yourself in a negative
00:02:02.580 way and definitely in regards to your body right you can't sit there all day
00:02:07.620 looking in the mirror and being like I'm disgusting I'm this I'm that because
00:02:12.140 that's just gonna wreak havoc on your psychological health however I also do
00:02:16.580 believe that it is up to us individuals because there are certain biological
00:02:20.540 components of life that are irrefutably true in regards to maintaining a
00:02:24.500 healthy body weight and I think that in my personal opinion everybody should
00:02:29.540 strive to be as best as possible a life of self-improvement and being
00:02:34.760 physically fit is one of many components of that but I don't think I think the
00:02:39.420 body positivity thing is not this nice thing that they're putting it out to be
00:02:44.620 I think there's a nefarious agenda behind it which is just like yeah
00:02:48.000 over consume yeah you can do whatever you want this kind of YOLO lifestyle but
00:02:52.300 people are starting to wake up to the fact that like especially with the recent
00:02:55.680 you know situation that happened in 2020 that we can't even talk about without
00:02:59.640 getting trouble here on YouTube but I think a lot of people became more health
00:03:03.300 conscious about that at that time so I think you know these corporations
00:03:08.400 corporations and governments they never have your best interests at heart it's
00:03:13.380 always in the in their interest and their interest is more power and more
00:03:17.760 control directly over you so when I hear body positivity like I get it you
00:03:23.040 shouldn't hate yourself like men have body positivity issues like men men women
00:03:27.800 they both look like they're like they want to be better than they are and it's a
00:03:30.840 struggle as a human but I do think that overall the body positivity movement I
00:03:35.940 think on the surface level it looks good but I think behind it it's not what
00:03:40.440 they're trying it is that's my short answer the subject body positivity is
00:03:47.340 actually really personal to me because I'm someone who I always like to treat
00:03:54.360 people nicely and I treat people well and my size unfortunately always like people
00:04:02.800 would just be rude to me or disrespect me I am 21 stones now the biggest I've been
00:04:09.520 is 28 stones and I've had loads of like things happen to me in my life so body positivity for me
00:04:22.240 is just accepting the way you look the way the way we were made and that's how I see
00:04:30.820 body positivity now people have different definitions some people think body
00:04:35.860 positivity is changing your body which is fine changing your body but some people
00:04:41.620 think that then like basically they express how they're unhappy with their body
00:04:47.360 which is fine but then they say their body positive by changing their bodies
00:04:52.700 but for me it's just really literally accepting yourself looking yourself in
00:04:58.100 the mirror and saying this is who I am this is how I've been made this is how
00:05:01.740 people have seen me my whole life and if they've been seeing me my whole life
00:05:06.260 like this I should just accept me and yeah I'm body positive
00:05:11.360 okay so I'm just raise of hands overall body positivity good thing raise your hand
00:05:15.960 overall good thing like more good than bad okay that's what I and she's like half
00:05:20.540 okay okay so I think body positivity is a horrible thing I think it's trying to
00:05:25.820 normalize bad habits and I don't think it's a good thing for society
00:05:29.840 um so I want to know why you guys disagree with that
00:05:32.840 because personally I just don't think I don't think we would put a
00:05:37.800 a crack addict on the cover of a magazine and in the United States obesity
00:05:42.720 is the number one killer and I just don't think it's a good thing that we are
00:05:46.020 normalizing bad habits that's my opinion on it it's number one killer of pets too
00:05:49.720 you know that no way yep it's the number one reason animals die in America is from
00:05:54.380 obesity but yeah you guys yeah go ahead I think um I get I see where you're coming
00:06:01.140 from I really do and it's sad and with most things everything does become about money for
00:06:08.400 example I'll give you a perfect example plus size women's it's booming all the ever all 1.00
00:06:15.120 the plus size influences are getting fun like they're getting funding or they're being invested
00:06:20.220 in but with plus size men there's been clothes that are being sold for big men but the models
00:06:26.280 are small so again for I have a friend who did that where she like they put on made her 1.00
00:06:31.380 wear like a fat fat suit where she was actually smaller and they made her bigger yeah they do 0.99
00:06:35.700 so for that reason yeah I see exactly where pearl is coming from because it upsets me that it is it
00:06:42.540 has become a money-making thing a kind of a trend to kind of get get in the views and getting that
00:06:49.140 but for people who actually have had issues and with me but honestly I will share my story one day
00:06:55.200 but I can't share it like until I reach my goals and and I want to do and I think what he is saying
00:07:01.980 is spot-on like they're ready to roll out the red carpet for women but it really it kind of again
00:07:08.680 goes back to like that kind of nefarious agenda of making money yeah you know because they're catering
00:07:14.440 to women because like who can name some uh plus size models right now like Tess Holliday for example 0.99
00:07:21.960 a huge name right can any of you name a male plus size model my friend James Corbyn he's a supermodel
00:07:28.440 but James Corbyn is not exclusively known for being an oversized no yes yes he's been in vogue no no no
00:07:35.580 no but he's known mainly for being a talk show host no James Corbyn is a Corbyn James if it's James
00:07:43.540 Corbyn Corbyn James but he's he's a plus size model he's from London and he's someone who just um 1.00
00:07:50.580 wait are you talking about the talk show host James Corbyn the guy who was in the flight scandal recently
00:07:55.860 or no someone some James Corden so basically there's a plus that's my mistake then so basically there's a
00:08:05.860 plus size model from the UK called James Corbyn and he talks about body positivity and um he's making
00:08:13.300 a difference for the plus size community and he's not promoting obesity I don't promote obesity I tell
00:08:20.020 people try and stick to natural foods because you may be big but at least if you're big you're going to
00:08:25.300 have goodness in you you're going to have a lot of like strength and yeah because some people's bodies
00:08:30.820 are just the way they are Pearl you don't know girl I I juice I even have a ninja creamy like I make
00:08:37.640 my own lime grapes like all these things I actually care about my health but my size I'm telling you
00:08:43.080 like I'm also would you do like I I just don't that doesn't make sense to me like I I think if you did
00:08:50.140 like a training plan with me for a week you would lose weight but I I really I really do like I think
00:08:55.800 you would so um that's the thing because I have medical issues as well I can't really openly speak
00:09:01.720 about but I have stuff like gout flares that flares my hands up and all that so there's always an
00:09:09.240 obstacle that comes in front but all my life I've battled I've always said good food and get out exercise
00:09:17.620 never be that reason don't ever let anyone give you that reason to say you're fat and you're lazy
00:09:24.360 because that's the stereotype that the world has of plus size people I think there's something that
00:09:29.740 we're not addressing here and it's that obesity and being plus size but really it's obesity it's a
00:09:35.920 clinical term it is what it is it's a symptom of something else well I agree with you if I were to
00:09:40.980 work out with you or with a personal trainer I absolutely could lose the weight and so could
00:09:44.360 most other people but obesity is a symptom of something else she's right nine times out of ten yes yes yes
00:09:49.740 you can't get someone in the gym put them on a three-month training program and say lose this
00:09:53.780 weight even if they do lose it what's to stop them from putting it back so I'm saying shouldn't we fix
00:10:00.940 that problem then so if it's emotional let's figure out what it is and fix it and promote that instead
00:10:05.620 of obesity on the cover of magazines she's she's spot-on and the number one way that people cope with 1.00
00:10:10.580 anxiety the most common way people cope with anxiety is by eating yeah exactly you know you eat too much
00:10:16.080 so yeah and you're you're a thousand percent correct that goes back to like you know your
00:10:19.940 subconscious uh mind and how you perceive yourself because a lot of these people too adding to what
00:10:25.520 you said they will lose the weight they'll lose like 100 pounds 200 pounds 150 pounds but the
00:10:32.380 subconscious version of themselves in their mind is not that skinny healthy person and they'll self
00:10:37.560 sabotage back up to that weight so what she's saying is a thousand percent correct it's not that
00:10:43.580 i mean i think i'm people and i'm i'm from america the like where fat people were made and so
00:10:48.940 and so like in america i think that the american people are grossly undereducated on the foundational
00:10:57.840 principles of having a diet carbs proteins fats they don't even know that those are the three
00:11:03.500 different calorie source and then alcohol if you want to add that but and they don't know about having
00:11:07.700 high protein diet and managing your calories and all that stuff but in addition to that right
00:11:13.400 because we grew up in america thinking like cereal was a healthy thing to eat as a child
00:11:17.300 which is just sugar-corded carbs right yeah now i only eat that if i smoke weed in miami
00:11:23.360 but you know the this she's a thousand percent correct when she says it is absolutely a symptom
00:11:31.860 of some greater problem that's occurring psychologically because this is it's a manifestation of something
00:11:38.960 for a certain state that she wouldn't have anything that's occurring now i think that she loves holding
00:11:43.420 the drink only
