00:00:00.000 at the at the club at the gym 24 hours they shouldn't party you know i think yeah look
00:00:06.840 if they want i mean if it's going to contribute to them burning calories go for gold but their
00:00:13.760 priority should be their health that's i'm making a joke but their priority should be their health
00:00:17.180 yeah maybe we should have uh separate fat parties for fat people fat beaches for 1.00
00:00:21.580 for fat people like we have nudist beaches no but i think 0.94
00:00:24.140 wait wait the better solution is to go to the gym like when i was trying to lose weight i really
00:00:34.900 didn't go out i didn't drink i didn't like spend a lot of time out because i wanted to lose weight
00:00:39.920 like that was the priority i actually stayed um at one of a plus size hotel in antigua what and
00:00:47.940 and it's called the catamaran it's called the catamaran and they actually promote like
00:00:54.260 they've got a beach on it so they promote walking um they they they made it plus size friendly how
00:01:00.720 if you could if you wanted to exercise you could so there are places out there which yeah they are
00:01:06.660 for plus size but they also promote being active so there are places actually that exist and i've
00:01:12.700 been there oh but you know being overweight more time it's not even you being active or not it's
00:01:18.480 what you're eating you know that right yeah why do people go to doctors and not nutritionists
00:01:23.520 because nutritionists don't have the i guess validation from society that doctors have i think
00:01:30.720 that's hundreds of years we've been told to go to doctors doctors have been the people you go to
00:01:35.200 for medical issues that's actually i think that's quite a new thing that's actually wrong correct me
00:01:39.400 a nutritionist sorry a nutritionist would actually tell you where you're going wrong versus a doctor
00:01:44.080 that would give you prescription that nutritional a nutritionist are the person that would actually
00:01:48.540 design a program for you tell you where your numbers are and know what program is going to be
00:01:55.500 personalized for you to help you lose that weight instead of going to a doctor that would be okay
00:02:00.880 you're healthy it's fine you don't have a health condition and versus the nutritionist will tell
00:02:06.460 your statistical sorry your statistical numbers that's going to help you to improve that's fine
00:02:13.180 but you haven't corrected me because um that wasn't okay well in the case that you know in pia's case
00:02:18.940 if a doctor tells you uh you're you know you've got a full bill of health yeah and not just not even
00:02:24.360 you just in general i'd question the doctor if he told me that i'd be like you need to go back to
00:02:28.560 medical school so it probably in the best interest of the body positivity movement if your doctor's
00:02:35.120 telling you hey don't worry you're still healthy that yeah would you agree with that oh if
00:02:38.760 personally like i can make this about myself if my doctor told me that i have a full bill of health
00:02:42.700 i would call someone because i'd be deeply concerned about like his his methods because i know that i'm
00:02:48.140 not healthy but then you think that's happening a lot with doctors then it depends what you
00:02:52.440 define as a doctor is not going to give you a nutrition program well full bullet health was yeah
00:02:56.680 good blood pressure cholesterol is down you know and asthma is okay whatever you whatever you were
00:03:02.400 saying but you know if you're obviously obese and a doctor say no no it's all good keep going
00:03:07.180 keep going how you're going i don't know if doctors do that i don't think doctors would say that though
00:03:12.180 i just you said earlier my issue my doctor don't tell me to lose weight that doesn't mean i shouldn't
00:03:18.260 lose weight it just means that it wasn't the core issue of my asthma like when i was having
00:03:22.240 conversations with them and they were looking at my blood pressure and my cholesterol and things like
00:03:25.460 that they were like okay all good don't worry about it your vitals are fine like these things are okay
00:03:29.960 for now and i even acknowledge that like a lot of that is probably to do with the fact that i'm young
00:03:33.720 and that when i'm older did you say it's easy you mentioned your bmi of your visceral fat
00:03:38.980 water percentage muscle mass these things yeah so i didn't have my bmi measured at the doctors
00:03:44.100 but i have had it measured because they do it when they do your birth control sorry pearl for mentioning
00:03:47.680 birth control around you uh ban it ban it um but like i have talked about my and when i talked
00:03:53.420 my bmi and when i had my birth control done with a nurse um they actually did the nhs has like um
00:04:00.520 healthy plans and i have like the nhs app which i've been using to um help track my weight loss
00:04:05.620 and things like that um along with like my fitness pal and stuff but um the nhs app and they also put
00:04:10.540 me on like a little healthy eating thing at the time when i had my birth control because that was
00:04:13.980 when they went to my bmi and things like that so there are things on uh the nhs that doctors and that
00:04:18.220 was a nurse actually that gave me those things um but yeah there are things available to you you don't
00:04:22.280 need to see it that's what i'm saying it's more accessible than but a nutritionist will put
00:04:26.380 together a plan a program a program to help you lose weight i don't think doctors want you to be
00:04:31.160 healthy because they they make money off of you being unhealthy what the nhs you think makes money
00:04:37.700 off of us being unhealthy what was the whole last three years and it just makes money by selling
00:04:43.580 medicine to everyone not just big people to everyone that's their business yeah but when 60
00:04:47.900 percent of the population's overweight there's a lot of medicine you can sell well then there'd
00:04:52.440 always be a problem remember it's the food that we're eating the food that's out there the chemicals
00:04:56.600 that are in the food the air whatever the these lines that we see in the air the foil that we eat
00:05:03.080 from the plastic cup that we drink that's true but at the end of the day there's always somebody
00:05:07.540 that's accomplished it even with all of those factors and yeah that's why we always encourage
00:05:12.880 people to lose weight and and yeah we we don't say no don't lose weight but like i said celebrate
00:05:20.400 big people but also be like nah that's unhealthy yeah i feel like that's the same point that we've
00:05:24.980 just we've been repeating the same point is that like these two things can exist at the same time
00:05:28.600 you know like we can exist and be happy with ourselves and live our lives and we can also want
00:05:33.560 to be healthier especially
