Transcript

00:00:00.000 I think, because it just goes back to what's happening now with our modern times.
00:00:05.580 I think humanity, as of right now, is probably at an all-time high for narcissism.
00:00:11.600 Yeah, we've lost traditional values.
00:00:13.840 Everybody's so full of themselves.
00:00:16.680 Everybody thinks they're better looking than they are.
00:00:19.020 Everybody thinks they are cooler than they are.
00:00:21.640 Everybody thinks they're sexier than they are.
00:00:23.520 Everybody thinks they're smarter than they are.
00:00:25.340 Everybody thinks that their political views...
00:00:27.500 The fact that we've even mentioned political views at all in itself shows us how much we've been psyoped by fucking the big four tech companies.
00:00:36.380 You know what I mean?
00:00:37.160 So we have all these things that are symptoms of our modern culture.
00:00:41.780 But the thing is this, and I've said it on multiple podcasts this week here on the Just Probably Thinks podcast, and I'll continue to say it.
00:00:48.820 When you are continuously focused on yourself, and you're like, me, me, me, me, that's who you end up with.
00:00:56.000 Because focusing on me, me, me is selfish.
00:00:59.360 You've got to focus on the we, because we are all in this together.
00:01:02.500 Anything you want in this life, you're going to hear from another human.
00:01:05.480 Period.
00:01:06.360 Agreed.
00:01:06.760 Right?
00:01:07.300 Even if it's from a fucking AI, because that's a question now.
00:01:10.200 A human made that AI, goddammit!
00:01:13.880 There's no such thing as self-made as well.
00:01:16.020 Yeah, exactly, Arnold Schwarzenegger said that in his recent documentary.
00:01:21.740 Arnold Schwarzenegger said that in his recent documentary, he talked about, you know, there's no such thing as self-made.
00:01:25.540 Because that's bullshit.
00:01:26.720 Anybody here, Pamela, you know, all you ladies here who lost weight, whatever, you lost your weight because somebody probably from the outside inspired you.
00:01:35.320 Somebody helped you.
00:01:36.700 You know what I mean?
00:01:37.860 So this whole me, me, me bullshit, it's disgusting.
00:01:41.760 And, you know, I told this to somebody in my life, and I told her, I said, if you keep on trying to be this boss babe and me, me, me, me, that's who you're going to end up with.
00:01:51.680 Yeah.
00:01:52.360 Just yourself.
00:01:53.060 Well, and that's like the other thing why I say like body positivity, being obese has negative effects for all the people that care about you.
00:02:02.420 Because one, you may die young, and two, if you have health issues, they're the ones that are going to have to take care of you.
00:02:08.220 Yeah.
00:02:08.480 I feel like it's come to a point big people know the risks that they're putting them through.
00:02:13.280 And just like when I make that choice.
00:02:15.900 How is that fair to everyone else?
00:02:18.080 Like it's either the taxpayers have to pay, the family has to pay and take care of you.
00:02:23.160 Like, it's like, how is that fair to everyone else?
00:02:25.320 We spent half this podcast.
00:02:26.200 Do you have that video of that?
00:02:28.180 As sad as it is, people go through different things in life.
00:02:32.680 Obesity just doesn't link with just because they want to eat.
00:02:35.820 It's mental health.
00:02:37.420 It's finance.
00:02:38.440 Family issues.
00:02:38.940 It's all these families, cultures.
00:02:41.840 What, maybe they eat a certain time in their culture.
00:02:44.820 Trauma.
00:02:45.180 But these are just excuses.
00:02:47.120 Because at the end of the day.
00:02:48.340 No, I don't agree.
00:02:49.040 No, I don't.
00:02:50.260 No, I'm not saying they can't contribute.
00:02:52.740 But at the end of the day, your life is your choices.
00:02:55.220 Yeah, but you don't think about your life as a choice when you're in it.
00:02:59.640 Because you can't look past tomorrow.
00:03:01.580 You're trying to just get past that day.
00:03:03.160 You can't look past tomorrow.
00:03:04.480 So you can't, you're not looking at that.
00:03:06.340 And we can have sympathy.
00:03:07.980 But it's still an excuse if you're using it as a reason not to lose weight.
00:03:11.800 That's not how it was.
00:03:13.700 Like your whole, I don't understand.
00:03:15.620 What are you saying, Pam?
00:03:17.100 Like, to be a fat person, to be someone who's overweight, and to be unhealthy.
00:03:23.000 Sometimes you're trapped.
00:03:24.400 You've got nowhere else to go.
00:03:25.700 You lack motivation.
00:03:27.260 You lack finances.
00:03:28.360 You don't have friendships.
00:03:29.340 You're not in the community.
00:03:31.140 So therefore, you're trapped.
00:03:32.780 Now, I'm not saying that it's a reason or excuse.
00:03:35.140 You can get out there because you've got two legs.
00:03:37.080 You can get out there.
00:03:37.760 But you can't.
00:03:39.020 Because mentally, you are down.
00:03:40.700 You are drained.
00:03:41.600 And you have no place to go.
00:03:42.600 Because you don't know.
00:03:43.600 You're not educated enough.
00:03:44.700 Yeah.
00:03:44.920 I think that's what it is.
00:03:46.180 Because I'm the truth.
00:03:47.880 Because it goes back to the undereducated.
00:03:51.420 Because there was a guy, actually.
00:03:52.780 I believe he was Irish.
00:03:54.420 And he was like 360 pounds.
00:03:57.040 Have you heard about this guy?
00:03:58.200 No.
00:03:58.400 And he just, he didn't eat for a year.
00:04:01.100 He fasted for a year.
00:04:03.180 And he lost all the weight.
00:04:04.360 Because that's what fat is.
00:04:07.620 Fat is.
00:04:07.900 In the gym, I've been fat shamed many times.
00:04:10.200 I just don't think there's an excuse because of the internet.
00:04:13.120 Like, I know someone that's in a wheelchair that's jacked.
00:04:15.980 In a wheelchair.
00:04:17.800 In a wheelchair.
00:04:18.760 I'm sorry.
00:04:19.240 There's no excuse.
00:04:20.540 I've been to a gym.
00:04:21.840 I've been to a gym.
00:04:22.740 Even if you're educated.
00:04:23.080 Being all happy.
00:04:24.140 Being all confident.
00:04:25.180 I'm going to work out today.
00:04:27.040 And people do laugh for no reason.
00:04:28.960 Are you consistent then?
00:04:29.480 Does that mean that you're consistent within it?
00:04:31.360 I'm not going to the gym now at the moment.
00:04:33.020 I'm just walking.
00:04:33.840 That's my exercise and dancing.
00:04:35.420 Even if you're educated with food and nutrition like I was before I gained weight.
00:04:40.940 It's not, I knew that what I was doing wasn't doing myself or my body any good.
00:04:46.440 I was educated.
00:04:47.220 I've always been really healthy with food.
00:04:50.120 But at that particular point and moment in my life, I wasn't.
00:04:53.720 And all that went out the window.
00:04:55.000 It just goes.
00:04:55.940 It went with me.
00:04:57.360 But again, it's not an excuse.
00:04:59.600 No, there's no excuse.
00:05:00.500 There's no excuse.
00:05:01.220 That's my point.
00:05:01.980 You can't blame it on these things.
00:05:03.980 Like your life is going to be a lot of people.
00:05:05.440 You don't necessarily make the right choices.
00:05:06.840 They are contributing factors that can take over your whole mind.
00:05:10.300 But my whole point is I can, I know so many people that have had each of the excuses that
00:05:16.500 you guys are listing.
00:05:17.940 I know people with no legs that lost the weight.
00:05:20.980 And again, that's why I say anyone who says they can't have like two people.
00:05:23.840 You can.
00:05:24.180 It's mindset.
00:05:25.000 It's mindset.
00:05:25.800 It's mindset.
00:05:26.360 It's because I agree with Pearl because of the sense of this.
00:05:29.880 Look, it's an uncomfortable reality.
00:05:32.360 But the reality is this.
00:05:33.640 Even if you wanted to lose weight, you can implement a fasting regimen, which is free.
00:05:39.380 Yeah.
00:05:39.620 Stop fucking eating.
00:05:42.120 Okay.
00:05:43.120 And walk for an hour a day.
00:05:45.620 Can I say that?
00:05:46.300 They're 24 hours.
00:05:47.340 Hold on.
00:05:47.840 They're 24 hours in a day.
00:05:49.340 You walk for an hour a day because if you are looking in the mirror and you're unhappy
00:05:52.940 because you're obese, you're fat or whatever, limit your eating window, choose what calories
00:06:00.900 you take into yourself, and then walk for an hour a day, 10,000 steps a day.
00:06:06.180 Okay.
00:06:06.500 Minimum.
00:06:06.820 Your iPhone has a step tracker in it.
00:06:09.060 Do you guys all know that?
00:06:09.780 Yeah.
00:06:09.960 There's a step tracker in your iPhone.
00:06:11.720 I'm wearing my Oura ring right now where I track all my calories, my sleeping, everything
00:06:15.480 through this.
00:06:15.820 Oura ring.
00:06:16.400 Right?
00:06:16.860 Really?
00:06:17.460 It's about mentality.
00:06:18.520 And the thing, no, no, no, it's not, I mean, I agree with you with what you're saying
00:06:21.960 about the mentality, but at the same time, it is possible for all people of all races,
00:06:28.860 of all genders, of all economic statuses to fast and walk for an hour a day.
00:06:35.840 I don't, I mean, Pam, do you disagree with me?
00:06:37.580 I'm like, when I say, is that wrong?
00:06:39.840 I agree with you.
00:06:40.780 Yeah.
00:06:41.000 And I think it's, and you know, it's sad because the government is constantly saying,
00:06:45.040 you know, just eat seven pounds of fucking bread a day.
00:06:48.520 Can I share something?
00:06:49.600 I lost.
00:06:51.080 So basically my thing is I was always big, bigger.
00:06:56.320 And just only two and a half years ago, I didn't realize how depressed I was.
00:07:01.620 But once I accepted my trauma and what I went through, you know, I said I lost, I was 28
00:07:07.300 stones.
00:07:08.120 Yeah.
00:07:09.960 I got a certain sense and certain understandings of something.
00:07:13.360 One day I just woke up and I felt like, oh, damn, this is how it is.
00:07:17.460 And I looked in the mirror and I honestly was like, oh gosh, this is me.
00:07:22.360 And it's almost like when I understood my trauma, I started losing weight.
00:07:27.460 It's a lot like repetition.
00:07:28.520 That's what I'm saying.
00:07:29.580 So that's the thing.
00:07:30.860 Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
00:07:31.180 So that's why I say, you know, when people have trauma and they're obese, they're actually
00:07:35.360 dealing something.
00:07:36.400 It's when you recognize it.
00:07:36.680 One thing at a time.
00:07:37.060 When you recognize it.
00:07:38.260 You know it.
00:07:38.780 When you catch it, then you can find a way forward.
00:07:40.820 But until you accept that and that's happened to you, you will not.
00:07:44.680 But everyone's got bottomless different.
00:07:45.580 I think that's why it's hard for you to see it, Pearl, because you grew up in like a nice
00:07:48.500 family and you didn't have to deal with a lot of trauma.
00:07:50.720 Your dad wasn't whooping your ass when you were growing up.
00:07:54.520 You know what I mean?
00:07:55.180 When you, because that's what I do in the Inner Game Healing Summit.
00:07:57.480 You know, the Inner Game Healing Endure thing is I work, I have a team of guys that
00:08:01.940 we're all experts and we talk to men and we talk about healing the traumas.
00:08:06.460 We do a lot of hypnotherapy and we do an identification exercise where we identify the trauma and we
00:08:13.740 figure out what exactly is happening.
00:08:15.980 Why am I traumatized?
00:08:17.240 What happened to me?
00:08:18.580 And then going back to it, identifying the trauma and then coming to peace with it, getting
00:08:24.640 some catharsis from the situation, healing them, giving them closure on the trauma, because
00:08:30.260 that's what trauma is.
00:08:31.660 Trauma is a, because trauma is a loop.
00:08:35.000 You know what I mean?
00:08:35.620 That's why, that's why people cut themselves.
00:08:37.760 That's why people overeat because when they cut themselves, it is a, it is a temporary
00:08:42.200 release.
00:08:42.820 And a lot of people use sex as well as a coping mechanism, coping mechanism for trauma.
00:08:48.720 People use food.
00:08:49.480 They use drugs, use prostitutes, gambling, video games, drugs.
00:08:52.600 I mean, you name it.
00:08:53.660 So when you, with the thing is though, because it's just, um, I agree.
00:08:58.240 No, I know.
00:08:59.260 Listen, let me, let me just finish.
00:09:00.700 Let me finish.
00:09:01.140 Let me finish.
00:09:01.520 Because the point I'm trying to make is that it is a, it is definitely a first world problem.
00:09:07.700 It is a very first world problem.
00:09:09.620 It is a very first world problem.
00:09:11.200 It is a very first world problem.
00:09:12.920 But that's what happens when you have these traumas and you do not heal them.
00:09:18.740 Then what ends up happening is you just keep on getting on this loop of self-sabotage instruction.
