Notice how they complain about people critiquing them about their weight, yet she was the first person to call him fat in a negative way. Screams irony.

[mellison]

"She wasn't born like that. She made herself like that." This says it all.

[josh]

She went from body positivity to fat shaming really quick

[CharlieRizzuto]

When she tried to turn it around on him and he go “I’m 6’1 and 220 lbs, and your 5’4 and 380 lbs” had me

[rhettzkie]

She really called him fat when he's older, taller, and slimmer. His weight is completely normal for someone his age and height.

[sdarkbloom]

It's so funny how she keeps calling him fat. Girl stop!

[lisaroberts]

My partner had a BMI of 60... his heart gave up at aged 38. Morbid obesity is listed as one of the causes of death. It can kill you.

[knelle]

We shouldn’t celebrate any type of unhealthy behavior, whether it’s food abuse or drug abuse it shouldn’t be praised.

[lilyb]

I love how she talks about how all bodies should be recognized and glorified but yet she IMMEDIATELY starts calling him fat. She is such a hypocrite.

[richard]

Weird times when people are debating whether "being obese" should be acceptable

[khadijahc]

As a plus size woman. Nothing is glorifying about being this way. I’m currently trying to lose weight and get my life together. Let’s stop this madness with this glorying body image crap

[Linda]

Bottom line….she doesn’t want to give up her food. No diets don’t work. But, changing your eating habits DO work.

[pulkit]

She wants to be accepted and not judged. But then starts fat-shaming Piers ! The hypocrisy.

[TinXBlaKeZ]

I have suffered obesity all my life, I weighed 132 kg and my height is 1.82m and I can tell you from my point of view that it is the worst nightmare you can have. My body was literally fast food garbage. I got tired when walking. I couldn't go for a walk with my friends because I got tired. My legs hurt, I had heart palpitations, I was always hungry and I just didn't enjoy life. Now, weighing 82 kg, I can say that it is the best decision I have ever made, my health improved, my life improved, so everything this woman says is pure "bullshit."

[borzonifitness]

imagine being called fat by someone twice your size?

[KellyMichaelGuitar]

Somebody once said “you don’t see any old obese people”. That always stuck with me.

[pavasite]

The fact that the model in the studio who has the physical appearance that should be promoted way more than the obese models is humble and doesn’t see herself in a perfect way compared to the obese model speaks volume.

[Bodybeautiful]

She was 36 and stated that her health issues were age related, not weight related. That's a big fat lie.

[devaraputra]

"She wasn't born like that, she made herself that way." 🙏

[Crackass]

I comment on this as an obese person myself (almost 300 pounds). She did it to get paid and thought nothing more of it, but there will always be some delusional person who will interpret this as normal, and popular media who will shove it down people's throats for their own benefit.

In my own experience, people who become obese probably have an eating disorder or other issues that have caused them to overeat, stress eat, etc. Emotional and sometimes physical abuse in my life has led to severe stress eating and weight gain for me in recent years. It's basically a coping mechanism. I have cut some people out of my life and am now trying my best to lose weight gradually.

Obesity is a major health risk and limits you greatly. If you have an obese friend, relative, colleague or whomever, please reach out to them and encourage them to eat healthier, exercise or take longer walks more often, or better yet, participate in the same activities with them. Obese people should not be glorified or seen as normal, but neither should they be bullied or judged out of existence. Instead, just be kind to them as fellow human beings and try to help them within your means.
