00:00:00.000 Would you say they're harming themselves either way?
00:00:02.100 Because if you die, have a heart attack at 35,
00:00:04.900 you're going to have the same outcome.
00:00:06.600 I mean, even now, there's a new,
00:00:08.880 there's like an epidemic of people
00:00:10.300 between the ages of 25 and 30 getting cancer.
00:00:13.100 I think it's, obviously, obesity causes cancer.
00:00:15.700 There was a big ad in London for a long time
00:00:17.300 that said obesity causes cancer.
00:00:18.420 A lot of people had a problem with it.
00:00:19.580 I didn't have a problem with it.
00:00:21.000 I mean, I was skinny at the time when it was out.
00:00:22.100 But it's true.
00:00:24.320 Obesity causes cancer.
00:00:25.680 No one is denying that.
00:00:27.020 But that doesn't stop me.
00:00:28.380 So one of my tweets I had recently
00:00:30.340 was I tweeted myself in a bikini
00:00:32.040 and I said, stop waiting to lose weight
00:00:35.160 to get in a bikini
00:00:35.900 and just go and enjoy yourself
00:00:37.120 with your friends in the sun.
00:00:38.140 No, no, I think you should wait
00:00:40.160 to get in a bikini.
00:00:40.780 I think you should.
00:00:41.540 Because, and I'll tell you what.
00:00:42.540 I think, I like feeling like my bikini is earned.
00:00:46.260 Yeah, but when I was thinner,
00:00:48.480 when I was thinner,
00:00:50.920 I was less inclined to wear one
00:00:53.060 because I was more insecure
00:00:54.300 because I was monitoring so much.
00:00:55.540 When I was fatter, I was less likely to wear one too.
00:00:58.300 And I think that's like as the world should be.
00:01:00.520 Does that mean you should never go on holiday?
00:01:01.760 I think you should show,
00:01:02.960 no, I think, you know,
00:01:03.800 you should be modest in that regard.
00:01:05.780 Yeah, I think you show off things you're proud of.
00:01:07.860 And I don't think you should be proud
00:01:09.500 of being overweight.
00:01:11.500 I have a question.
00:01:12.340 I'm not proud of being overweight,
00:01:13.760 but I wouldn't say that I shouldn't go
00:01:15.440 in a bikini with my friends.
00:01:16.480 Like, watch, I should just sit on the sand
00:01:18.040 and read a book while I wait for them.
00:01:19.440 You know, I just want to enjoy my life.
00:01:20.600 No, there's one pieces.
00:01:22.040 I have a question.
00:01:22.500 I mean, I think I look good, you know?
00:01:26.060 Check my Instagram, peerblossom underscore X.
00:01:28.400 I think I look good in a bikini.
00:01:29.860 No, wait, you see earlier on,
00:01:31.100 you said that you're not at that part of your life
00:01:32.920 where you're ready to do anything about it.
00:01:35.300 Like, why is that?
00:01:36.120 What could get you there?
00:01:37.420 No, I feel ready.
00:01:38.340 So I'm working on it at the moment.
00:01:39.380 I just struggle with it.
00:01:40.320 It's just, it's hard for me.
00:01:41.320 Look it, come over here.
00:01:42.780 I work out five days a week.
00:01:44.680 I will.
00:01:45.460 No, I find it easier having a boyfriend
00:01:47.320 because he supports me now.
00:01:48.360 11 a.m.
00:01:49.200 This is every day.
00:01:50.520 You guys should know this, right?
00:01:51.760 We're talking about the topic here
00:01:53.520 and the word, using the word fat.
00:01:56.540 But there's also a fat called visceral fat.
00:01:59.240 So there's fat and visceral fat.
00:02:00.780 Do you, are you aware of what visceral fat is?
00:02:04.180 The fat around the heart, no?
00:02:05.240 Exactly.
00:02:05.780 And the arteries.
00:02:06.540 So if you was to find out
00:02:08.560 your visceral fat is at an alarming stage,
00:02:10.760 would you continue to live the life you're living?
00:02:14.140 And this is the thing we should be more aware of.
00:02:16.540 The word weight, I'm not,
00:02:23.380 we shouldn't be using the word weight so much,
00:02:25.860 but the other numbers that are way more important.
00:02:28.280 We're talking about body fat, muscle mass percentage,
00:02:30.900 water percentage, visceral fat,
00:02:33.520 which is one of the most dangerous fat
00:02:34.980 that you can approach.
00:02:37.800 So if you was to find out where your visceral fat is at
00:02:40.580 and it's at an alarming stage,
00:02:42.320 you would not be sitting here talking about body positivity.
00:02:46.540 Do you guys get those tests done?
00:02:49.340 So I have like severe asthma,
00:02:51.600 which was caused by COVID.
00:02:53.320 So I've had a lot of health tests done.
00:02:55.320 And in general, I'm pretty healthy.
00:02:57.540 Like in terms of my heart and what's going on with me,
00:03:01.120 like I'm pretty healthy.
00:03:02.020 A lot of that is youth.
00:03:03.060 I think that if I was older
00:03:04.400 and like at the same BMI I'm at,
00:03:07.880 it might be more difficult.
00:03:08.820 Do you know where visceral fat is at?
00:03:10.980 I have no idea,
00:03:12.020 but I'm sure that my doctor does
00:03:13.060 and they didn't have any problem
00:03:14.000 with my heart in general
00:03:15.900 because I had all those tests done recently
00:03:18.340 because, you know,
00:03:19.160 my asthma like stopped me breathing
00:03:20.560 because I'm allergic to my pet guinea pigs.
00:03:22.620 It's a whole thing.
00:03:24.200 But yeah, I've had all those tests
00:03:25.400 and I'm reasonably healthy.
00:03:27.100 That doesn't mean I could be healthier
00:03:28.120 and that doesn't mean it won't get harder
00:03:29.240 as I get older.
00:03:30.000 I'm very aware that like as I reach my 30s
00:03:32.300 and things like that,
00:03:32.680 I'm 26 now,
00:03:33.440 things will get harder to shift
00:03:35.740 and I'd rather do something about it now.
00:03:38.300 And as I said before,
00:03:39.520 I just don't think you can be healthy
00:03:41.960 at your size.
00:03:42.900 I don't think that anybody
00:03:44.300 is kidding themselves by that though.
00:03:47.000 Like I don't think that anybody my size
00:03:49.160 thinks they are their pinnacle health.
00:03:50.560 You just said that you were healthy.
00:03:51.840 In terms of like what my doctor said
00:03:53.460 and like I wasn't told at the hospital.
00:03:55.320 These doctors don't know that.
00:03:56.460 What does that mean?
00:03:57.480 What did you say?
00:03:58.420 I'd prefer to hear it from a nutritionist
00:04:00.480 than a doctor.
00:04:01.340 Oh, so I don't know.
00:04:03.140 I don't know much about that
00:04:03.840 but like obviously like I mean
00:04:05.020 I have serious asthma.
00:04:06.240 So like I was in hospital
00:04:07.080 and I had a lot of chats
00:04:07.960 and things like that
00:04:08.520 about my general health.
00:04:10.760 Well and that can simply be caused
00:04:11.840 by food too
00:04:12.740 because I have issues with asthma too.
00:04:13.740 A doctor and a nutritionist
00:04:14.780 will give it to different results.
00:04:16.140 Yeah.
00:04:16.720 I think it's for me
00:04:18.920 like I'm not going to kid myself
00:04:20.720 and be like I'm at my full health.
00:04:22.260 Yeah.
00:04:22.420 Like no, I'm very overweight.
00:04:24.280 Like I'm not joking myself about that.
00:04:25.980 I would like to lose weight.
00:04:26.780 As I said,
00:04:27.120 if I could press a button
00:04:27.860 and be skinny,
00:04:28.800 I will.
00:04:29.160 I just think that's what the body positive,
00:04:30.740 like if body positivity
00:04:32.020 was really like body positive,
00:04:34.420 it would be about losing weight.
00:04:36.140 But I just think
00:04:37.100 it's not about losing weight.
00:04:38.460 It's about being content.
00:04:39.700 I think for them
00:04:40.240 it's actually mental positivity
00:04:41.640 because body positivity
00:04:43.140 is about what?
00:04:44.620 Being confident,
00:04:45.860 keeping a sane mind.
00:04:47.680 When you talk about body positivity,
00:04:49.540 all I hear is about mental things
00:04:51.240 like being confident,
00:04:52.820 having a sane mental.
00:04:54.020 Well, he's getting the gist.
00:04:55.800 But what's wrong with that?
00:04:57.700 Mental positivity
00:04:58.460 is not body positivity.
00:04:59.460 You're lying to yourself.
00:05:00.040 That's what I'm saying.
00:05:00.660 You're lying to yourself basically, yeah.
00:05:01.920 You know,
00:05:02.180 you could call yourself healthy,
00:05:05.160 but you know,
00:05:05.820 in reality,
00:05:06.480 the reality is
00:05:06.960 you're probably not healthy.
00:05:08.340 Nobody said we're healthy
00:05:09.680 or I'm healthy
00:05:10.460 or we know
00:05:11.320 we have to eat healthy
00:05:12.500 and do exercise.
00:05:12.860 She just said that she's healthy.
00:05:14.100 You said that she's healthy.
00:05:14.740 She said that she's healthy.
00:05:15.700 What she probably means
00:05:17.100 is did you mean,
00:05:17.980 did you mean the fact
00:05:19.000 that you ain't got a big illness
00:05:20.180 or diabetes
00:05:20.920 or blood
00:05:21.700 I'm at risk of diabetes?
00:05:23.400 That's what she meant.
00:05:24.260 Would you say obesity
00:05:26.640 is unhealthy?
00:05:28.820 Yeah.
00:05:29.640 I don't know if anyone
00:05:30.880 would disagree with that
00:05:31.760 and I think to the point
00:05:32.820 around visceral fat
00:05:34.480 and smoking,
00:05:35.820 so now in the UK at least
00:05:37.560 if you want to buy
00:05:38.240 a packet of cigarettes
00:05:39.180 or tobacco,
00:05:40.400 you've got loads of
00:05:41.460 like images of lungs
00:05:42.400 and what it does
00:05:43.100 and like all sorts
00:05:44.340 of scary images
00:05:45.180 are supposed to put people off.
00:05:47.480 I wonder if we were
00:05:48.400 to have the same sorts
00:05:49.440 of images
00:05:49.860 around visceral fat,
00:05:51.820 maybe actual people
00:05:53.380 of actual images
00:05:54.620 of obese people
00:05:55.600 although that could be
00:05:56.260 problematic to some
00:05:57.180 on unhealthy food
00:05:59.560 if that would have
00:06:00.380 a deterrent effect.
00:06:01.820 So it's not showing
00:06:02.580 fat people on chocolates
00:06:03.580 and stuff?
00:06:04.320 Well, I wonder if it would.
00:06:05.340 I mean, if you're showing
00:06:05.960 fat people,
00:06:06.660 like if you've just got
00:06:07.280 an image of a fat person,
00:06:08.640 that's probably quite problematic.
00:06:08.900 Remember the commercials
00:06:09.980 they used to do
00:06:10.920 about smoking
00:06:11.720 where it's like
00:06:12.340 smoking will kill you?
00:06:13.860 Why don't they have that
00:06:14.620 for obesity
00:06:15.220 when 60% of the population
00:06:16.960 is overweight or obese?
00:06:18.340 They should.
00:06:18.760 That'd be good.
00:06:19.300 Why not?
00:06:19.820 We should.
00:06:20.320 Why don't we start a campaign?
00:06:21.560 I think we're the right group of people.
00:06:24.720 You know, I'll produce it myself.
00:06:29.240 One of the key things
00:06:30.460 that we're establishing here though
00:06:31.520 is that all three
00:06:32.380 overweight people here
00:06:33.180 are not saying
00:06:33.920 that you shouldn't be healthy.
00:06:34.900 We're not saying
00:06:35.380 that you should be obese.
00:06:36.200 We're all saying,
00:06:37.300 yes, it's about to obese.
00:06:38.400 Yes, we should get better.
00:06:39.440 Yes, I mean,
00:06:40.140 I'm saying that
00:06:40.820 because of my youth,
00:06:41.660 I don't have high blood pressure.
00:06:42.580 I don't have any of those
00:06:43.180 things wrong with me.
00:06:44.560 Doesn't mean that in 20 years
00:06:45.740 it won't be.
00:06:46.240 But I think I would love
00:06:48.360 to hear that message more
00:06:49.780 from influencers like yourself
00:06:51.820 rather than being content
00:06:53.660 with the way you look
00:06:54.460 rather than talking about
00:06:55.620 wearing a bikini to the beach.
00:06:57.040 I think the better solution
00:06:59.660 is what you're doing
00:07:00.880 which is to be an example
00:07:02.000 of losing weight
00:07:02.900 and being healthy
00:07:03.740 but actually healthy.
00:07:05.020 At the same time,
00:07:06.020 I don't think that you should
00:07:06.840 wait to enjoy yourself
00:07:07.800 because of your weight.
00:07:08.560 I don't think you should
00:07:09.220 wait to wear a bikini.
00:07:10.160 I don't think you should
00:07:10.640 wait to do any of those things.
00:07:11.720 I don't think you should
00:07:12.280 dislike yourself
00:07:13.080 or not wear the dress
00:07:14.120 you want to wear
00:07:14.620 or not go somewhere
00:07:15.680 you want to go
00:07:16.400 because of your weight
00:07:17.220 or not have pictures taken.
00:07:18.140 I've met people
00:07:18.720 who won't have that picture taken.
00:07:19.900 No one's saying that
00:07:20.380 but I do think that
00:07:21.340 when you're obese
00:07:22.120 that should be your first priority.
00:07:24.220 So I do think maybe
00:07:25.440 instead of wearing a dress
00:07:26.980 and going out on the town
00:07:28.000 you should go to the gym instead.
00:07:29.940 It comes down to motive.
00:07:32.500 Why are you wearing a bikini?
00:07:33.520 Yeah.
00:07:34.080 Why are you going to the club
00:07:35.400 in a revealing dress?
00:07:36.560 Are you enjoying yourself
00:07:37.380 at the club?
00:07:38.040 Why are you wearing a bikini?
00:07:40.060 Because I wanted to go
00:07:40.820 have fun with my friends.
00:07:42.820 I think I look good.
00:07:43.620 Why does anyone wear a bikini?
00:07:45.280 I would say
00:07:46.500 wearing a revealing dress
00:07:48.440 would her reasons
00:07:50.120 for wearing a bikini
00:07:51.340 be any different
00:07:52.000 from like a mid-sized
00:07:53.640 or slim person
00:07:54.380 at the beach
00:07:55.160 where you are supposed
00:07:56.140 to wear a bikini?
00:07:56.460 I would say
00:07:56.900 nine out of ten women
00:07:58.460 wear a bikini.
00:07:59.600 One for attention
00:08:00.360 from males.
00:08:02.140 Two to woo another guy
00:08:03.780 probably.
00:08:04.500 Why do they wear
00:08:05.180 revealing dresses at clubs?
00:08:07.040 I would say
00:08:07.420 it's mainly for attention.
00:08:08.420 I mean they keep
00:08:09.020 they say it's for themselves
00:08:10.320 but
00:08:10.660 it's mainly for attention
00:08:12.320 and it's
00:08:12.920 I don't say
00:08:14.520 it's like
00:08:14.900 I wear a bikini
00:08:15.880 because I feel comfortable
00:08:16.660 in a bikini.
00:08:17.300 I wear a bikini
00:08:18.080 because I just want
00:08:18.920 to impress my friends.
00:08:20.460 I'd say
00:08:20.840 nine times out of ten
00:08:21.860 you're trying to impress
00:08:22.920 another guy
00:08:23.600 or you know
00:08:24.600 whoever you're attracted to.
00:08:26.040 And what's wrong
00:08:26.520 with the fat woman
00:08:27.120 trying to impress a man?
00:08:27.680 A man want to show arms
00:08:28.740 because this is what
00:08:29.540 I just think
00:08:30.080 it's unrealistic
00:08:30.680 for them to think
00:08:32.360 that a lot of people
00:08:33.720 are finding them attractive
00:08:34.540 when majority
00:08:35.340 wouldn't.
00:08:36.300 I mean like
00:08:38.260 they're talking about
00:08:39.480 I've been talking about
00:08:40.160 what's going to happen
00:08:40.360 in my life
00:08:41.200 so I'm just trying to
00:08:42.280 wait,
00:08:42.800 I'll be waiting
00:08:43.480 but those things
00:08:44.840 are the same
00:08:44.960 that you see
00:08:45.760 come up
00:08:46.320 and are the same
00:08:46.620 and that you see
00:08:47.260 in LA
00:08:47.920 where you see
00:08:48.380 there's a guy
00:08:49.680 and I love
00:08:50.120 outside the disciple
00:08:50.920 and how
00:08:52.080 you know
00:08:52.720 and how
00:08:53.740 was the bad
00:08:53.820 actually
00:08:54.540 and how
00:08:54.960 you seen
00:08:55.120 that you saw
00:08:58.160 and how
00:08:59.400 what's going to happen
00:09:00.000 that you see
00:09:01.280 with the
00:09:01.480 how
00:09:02.400 that the
00:09:03.300 which
