00:00:00.000 to the fat shaming. This is a great tweet. This is number two. Could you pull that up, Deli? It's
00:00:05.260 Pearl's tweet, which I loved. Let's pull it up. I have it here somewhere. Where did I put it?
00:00:12.040 Where did I put it? Oh, here we go. It says, thank you to the internet for fat shaming me
00:00:17.060 until losing 15 pounds this year. I'll keep fat shaming the whales to help them too. What I love
00:00:23.280 about this, though, is like everyone gets so offended when you talk about obesity. And here
00:00:28.140 you are saying the exact opposite. Is that an honest emotion you have? Yeah, no. Tell
00:00:34.600 me about what happened. Well, when I started the show, it's kind of like when you get on
00:00:39.080 camera, you see everything. And I was like, oh, I'm a little chunkier than I thought. And
00:00:45.060 I've never been fat or obese. Sorry, that's not true. I was obese by five pounds for two
00:00:53.320 months, and then I lost it. But when I started the show, I wasn't fat. I wasn't obese. But
00:00:57.760 I was like, I could cut back on my eating. And, you know, I'd get comments here and there
00:01:02.940 and I'd be like, ah, I should I should really work on that. So in the course of the year,
00:01:07.280 I wanted to lose 25 pounds. I only lost 15, but I'm on the way.
00:01:10.720 That's good. 15 is good. Yeah. And so and I had a lot of acne, too, when I started. And
00:01:16.100 so it's great. Thank you. Thank you. And I just had a lot of bad habits. So I just decided
00:01:21.300 to work on it. And my issue is whenever I fat shame the whales, they're like, you're not
00:01:25.660 thin enough to be fat shaming me. And I'm like, well, I get fat shamed, too. And you
00:01:29.620 work on it and you try to get better. But it's like fat people think they're above being
00:01:33.840 made fun of. I can be made fun of because I'm a ginger. Men can be made fun of for being
00:01:37.960 short. Everyone else can be made fun of. Why are you special? Why are you special? And
00:01:43.420 the worst part is you can change it. Men can't change being short. But you sure as hell can
00:01:48.700 change not eating 10 Krispy Kremes in a day, Rebecca. Well, the reason that they get away
00:01:55.780 with that is because society has now labeled obesity as healthy and with good reason, because
00:02:01.540 society remember all these media outlets and this is where you get into the matrix. But
00:02:05.140 all of these media outlets in large part are funded by pharma. And what helps pharma? What
00:02:10.060 helps you to become somebody who's dependent on medication for life and all this stuff? Well,
00:02:13.760 you have to be unhealthy. So now this new like obesity is the new healthy is being glorified
00:02:18.460 by media because they want an unhealthy population that's then relying on drugs, that's relying
00:02:23.300 on all these things, that's more likely to be depressed, that's more likely to be someone
00:02:27.900 who's not self-sufficient, a weaker society that you can control. It's all connected. And
00:02:32.620 women are just falling. What I think is really interesting about you, though, is it's not easy
00:02:37.380 to take the criticism and have that reaction. Like it's not. If for somebody to say like, oh,
00:02:43.100 you, you know, whatever, you're a little chunky, say they said or whatever. And for you to
00:02:47.740 say, oh, you know what, I am a little chunky. Let me stop doing that. You know, maybe I could do
00:02:51.300 that. That's not easy for people to do. How did what what do you think went right in your life
00:02:58.300 that you were able to have that reaction and not get offended, defiant, nasty, and then go eat a
00:03:03.500 donut? Well, I mean, I would get offended at first. I'd be like, oh, you know, get offended,
00:03:08.760 though, that what you just did. But then it's just kind of like, well, why did it hurt? Because
00:03:13.780 they're right. Yeah. Nothing hurts if they're not correct. That's right. You know, so I think I don't
00:03:21.500 know. I just was like, you know what? They're right. I want to do something about it. So I bought
00:03:24.600 this like meal plan from this guy called Cooking with Chris and he's on Twitter and he's actually
00:03:29.240 there was like probably the best meal plan I've ever bought. Sometimes I still go off it. That's why
00:03:32.560 I haven't lost 25, but but it was actually really good. It's hard when you travel. Traveling is not
00:03:38.620 friendly to, you know, I actually lose weight when I'm traveling, but it's because I'll be busy. I'll
00:03:44.680 be so busy that I don't eat enough to eat. Yeah. So it's like like a lot of times I'll gain it when
00:03:49.260 I get back because it's not it's not like done in a healthy way. You know, it's like you get back
00:03:53.640 and you got to like store up again. I know I get it. My biggest problem is I drink sugar coffee in the
00:03:57.880 morning, but I've quit. I'm now like roughly 20 ish days sober from coffee. Oh,
00:04:02.560 wow. That's hard to quit. It's like sugar. Yeah, it's hard to quit. But coffee is like
00:04:06.860 I know some people can drink it in like a healthy way. I'm just not that person. I like the milkshakes
00:04:12.080 in the morning. I like so if I'm going to drink coffee, I'm like there's no point in trying to
00:04:16.280 do it a healthy way because I won't drink it. Right. So that is well props to you for having that
00:04:21.060 reaction. Not a lot of people have that reaction and I don't know like what you looked like before.
00:04:26.920 I'm just looking at you now. You look great. But I think it's I think it speaks to character
00:04:30.840 to be able to like process something like even when I started on here and like people
00:04:35.840 were saying stuff to me like commentary wise when I was like in the in the space and I
00:04:40.660 was like, you know, with Rollo the first time I had to like kind of process that step back
00:04:44.380 and be like, well, let me think about what I just said. Like self. It's not easy to do
00:04:48.200 that because then you have to like admit you were wrong or admit you were doing something
00:04:50.780 in your life that wasn't good for you. Not easy. I want to get to Drew Fualo and Dylan Mulvaney.
00:04:55.620 You know Dylan Mulvaney. OK, let's go. I know the Drew girl. She's like the whatever
00:05:00.620 podcast is actually here to say thank you for reacting. It sets a bunch of hearts.
