00:00:00.000 people try to like shit on me right now because i got liposuction right because i was just in 0.99

00:00:04.720 such a bad place you know why because i was reading youtube comments everybody's just telling 0.98

00:00:09.640 me this was in like 2021 march i got it but i also was fully transparent about it and i made

00:00:16.000 a full documentary good about it in tokyo and but at the time it was so crazy because i was so

00:00:23.160 like just constantly being slammed because i wasn't like huge i just had like a little in

00:00:28.420 the in my midsection and then i was just like a man possessed and then i just like yeah let's do 0.98

00:00:35.940 it let's do it pay pay pay pay whatever and the next thing you know i'm laying on the fucking 0.99

00:00:39.420 charger table like oh fuck like this is gonna be crazy and then i woke up and i was just like oh 0.97

00:00:44.620 my god i can't believe i went through with that but that you know the same for myself but and it's 0.98

00:00:51.320 you know it's so crazy too given them because like i said i'm not i'm not hiding it i don't care i i

00:00:56.480 tell everybody you know what put it on my tombstone like put it right there here here lies mld you got 0.99

00:01:01.240 liposuction what an asshole you know um i'm happy when i did it and then i learned a lot of lessons 0.99

00:01:09.540 along the way so but even though now i get shamed why for being a man that got liposuction right but 1.00

00:01:18.700 i don't care because you get called lazy though that you were lazy oh you know everything this guy

00:01:23.580 doesn't this guy has no discipline this guy this this guy that i'm like have you seen the

00:01:29.320 business empire that i run like i didn't run that being lazy but all that aside yeah i would rather

00:01:35.760 personally i would rather be shamed for getting liposuction than being shamed for being overweight

00:01:43.300 and at this point in my life if they because it did people are going to criticize you no matter what

00:01:47.660 and i did use it because you know i wanted to create this documentary and i wanted the fat cells

00:01:54.180 out of my body and so um i'm still i'm even here on the uk on my trip i'm still exercising i still

00:02:00.920 eat clean yeah and i understand to uh is it alicia alicia alicia alicia i'm so sorry i'm okay

00:02:09.000 alicia as alicia alluded to earlier alicia was correct when she said the symptom is something

00:02:17.080 going on inside you and then pam pam as well said that what was going on inside of you is there is

00:02:22.920 some there's some trauma there's some things so i think what pearl said is absolutely correct we can't

00:02:28.780 glorify this because at the end of the day what we're doing is we're glorifying poor mental health

00:02:34.520 yes because it's we can't be glorifying that kind of stuff because and you're literally sending

00:02:39.400 people off to an early grave i'm a big fan of being alive

00:02:42.580 you know and it's so it's interesting too that you guys like weren't hand selected for this body

00:02:51.360 positivity thing but i know i had no idea yeah that's like the universe is coming together that's

00:02:56.900 pretty cool the the thing is there's a perception um when it comes to people that choose to have

00:03:02.760 elective surgery and that is what i try in my day-to-day life try to allow people to see that

00:03:09.900 it's not about just wanting to have surgery to get rid but some people are not best gym candidates i

00:03:15.460 wasn't i mean i i'd spent thousands of pounds on on personal trainers on diet plans um i was doing all

00:03:22.320 sorts however what happens is yes you might lose the weight the weight will go down in my case i i had a

00:03:29.340 hernia i'd had three c-sections um my stomach was protruding that's the the the recti muscle in

00:03:35.140 the middle was had opened i needed to have muscle repair and that cannot be fixed in the gym right so

00:03:40.900 when i was losing the weight in fact i actually looked better when i was bigger because i could

00:03:45.040 hold my own when i lost the weight everything dropped and went down south and it looked worse

00:03:50.480 yeah to be fair um so when i saw that happened after i lost all the weight well what do i do now

00:03:56.300 because the gym is not going to help this yeah i need to have a tummy tuck yeah i need to have muscle

00:04:02.800 repair so so knowing that i needed to have that done there is there is a you know a number of people

00:04:08.820 out there why don't you go to the gym well i did yeah for many years and my biggest thing is too if

00:04:13.680 we're supposed to like enthusiastically support people chopping off their wieners and becoming 0.98

00:04:19.140 women like you gotta shut up about this other stuff too like guys can i say something you gotta choose 1.00

00:04:24.500 someone you know you gotta choose one can i share something please can i just remind you all that 0.72

00:04:29.640 body positivity isn't only like people with big black relationships it's about unable people as well

00:04:37.140 and people are born deformed some people are born with disabilities and i think body positivity is

00:04:43.940 also linked with that but the main the main marketing component of body positivity is towards

00:04:49.040 women to say you can be obese i just don't think we should celebrate something that's a choice 0.99

00:04:55.680 you're celebrating it when you're putting on the cover of magazines that's a reward that's like a

00:05:02.720 positive thing when you're you're specifically giving people parts because they're plus size when

00:05:07.460 you're specifically trying to put it out there make that the representation of in the media um um and

00:05:13.620 and and it's interesting too because earlier you said like um that you seem to say like you couldn't

00:05:19.860 lose the weight was that what you were saying earlier yes i couldn't but it's but it's like before we

00:05:25.060 the podcast start you drink a coat i don't know i'm not trying to call you up but it's like no no no no

00:05:29.380 no no don't get me wrong yeah um hello i'm on your podcast i want to have a good time you know

00:05:35.140 i'm not at home i don't need to be drinking old healthy stuff but what i'm saying okay the reason i

00:05:40.920 say that is just because i'll hear people say that but then i like watch what they eat and i'm like

00:05:45.360 it doesn't seem to do you know it's just about representation it's it's basically the little things

00:05:52.200 from like there's for example you can go to a store you can't get certain things um you can

00:06:01.120 order something from online you can't see you can't actually because there's not the person wearing

00:06:06.360 you can't see it what i was actually going to say something what i wanted to say is um it's actually

00:06:14.760 just going go and take it away i think it's just the man thought just escaped that's fine i think

00:06:20.340 it all starts as well from a young age and how you're brought up yes and the way that your parents

00:06:29.060 feed you and what they do for you being brought up well and that's why i think it's so important to

00:06:35.280 like get in control of your eating habits if you want to have children because it's not fair to the

00:06:39.620 next generation to be brought up with eating habits that will give you an early grave and i even think

00:06:45.200 about that with myself because i have like a horrible sugar addiction i literally love sugar

00:06:49.780 it's so bad so does everybody else yeah it's addictive right but we do have like health problems

00:06:56.140 because like a lot of people in my family eat a lot of like i forget what the early onset something i

00:07:02.280 don't know i'm not a person but but like i think of this even for myself you know so i think it's

00:07:07.520 like important that we don't celebrate that sort of thing yeah i agree with that because growing up

00:07:12.780 for me i used to see my mum forever doing different diets yeah going on the cambridge diet you know

00:07:18.720 when you just eat the shakes and you have those cardboard bars yeah do you know the kilo diet

00:07:22.660 yeah all of this and i saw my mum do that and i remember being at school and my mum was happy to

00:07:27.460 say i'd be like mum i want to go on a diet and she'd pack my rivita with my fruit and i was i was at

00:07:32.700 school at year eight year nine so it's 12 13 and my mum was happy to do that whereas you know it's

00:07:39.680 it's it's created bad habits for me and unhealthy eating habits everything in moderation
