How Addicts Lie

[@ThinkBeforeYouSleepYT]

So apparently Drinkwater is a legit last name in Australia and it might not be a stage name. That's still comedic to me. It also doesn't make the second part of the original point untrue. I had too many examples to show of people in bigger bodies virtue signaling about how much water they drink. Edit: I keep getting messages about this so I'll state it here. Kelli Jean Drinkwater did not die in 2017. That was a hoax and it's why I didn't state it in the video. She has film credits up to 2020 on IMDB. I checked for that during the research because it's been 10 years since Fat Fighters was filmed so that is a possibility. Obviously something like that would indicate how dangerous this lifestyle is so typically it's something I check for if the event is old. Kelli is still alive as far as I can tell. Jennifer Lee also appears to still be alive as she wrote an article for Taylor & Francis Online in 2022. Second Edit: Multiple swimmers in the comments have said at peak fitness, they would have trouble swimming 2.5km (1.5 miles) in day.

I’m back around 220 lbs but finally have my rheumatologist that does my pain management now. I wanted to share all that because these people make me sick.

Most outrage comments that exist on the net are not from healthcare workers including the yter who posted this. P.S. I once saw an overweight person working at the hospital as one of those people who move patients on the bed in ER.

@@LovelyLittleLillies Paramedic but nice try. Also, a mechanical lift was one of the injury sources because the interface isn't normed and you just can not use it properly on some people, heck, not even everyone has it. Specialized equipment past a certain weight also costs a load of money so either patients can't afford it or insurances become greedy. There are also kinetic courses for nurses and healthcare workers which often don't get paid for by employers but are out of pocket and have to be attended on your spare time. Ideally, a lot of things make sense but also ideally, severely obese people wouldn't exist. I have btw also dealt with minor obesity as a result of cancer therapy. Again, not everyone can actually control their weight (with normal means). But most people can and I don't think supporting preventable issues instead of solutions is the right way.

When i was 17 i was 154 kg; one day after showering i looked at myself in the mirror and i was disgusted about what i saw.

It was excrutiatingly painfull both mentally and phisically, but luckily i had my mother who helped me creating a diet and supported me mentally. In the first month of weight loss she cooked only my favourite meals which obviously i couldn't eat just to make a point: you either get my help and change your life or stuff your mouth.

I’m addicted to weed and this video has really made me realize how bad it is and that I need to change it cause I need long term success thanks man

[@itkovian11]

Out of curiosity, how's the weed addiction coming along one month later? I have cannabis hyperemesis syndrome from smoking too much for too long. It makes me extremely ill; I can't eat and vomit a lot. If I smoke as much as I want to, I end up having vomiting episodes every 6 weeks to 4 months that require me to be hospitalized. I've been hospitalized about 45 times over the last 14 years for it. In the last 2 years my weight has gone from 115-230lbs, then down to about 180lbs right now. Clearly, I need to stop, but since finding out weed was making me sick in 2021 and quitting, I've caused myself to be hospitalized twice because of relapsing back to my old pothead habits.

[@Kaley-g6g]

I’ve just stopped smoking after smoking for 8 years pretty much straight. I stopped for a week and my food consumption went down immediately. Then I thought “oh I can smoke again” smoked for a week and gained back weight. I’ve stopped again and have lost 28 lbs in a month and a half. The effects of weed addiction really is intense and you don’t fully realize it till you get out of it! I hope you’re doing well on your journey!

[@-neverknowsbest]

@@itkovian11 Hi, I know you asked the OG post for their answer but I went through a similar thing 4 years back. Not as serious as yours and I only went to hospital twice but if I can help at all, I thought I would leave a comment. I smoked every day, had a 8 every evening then a 20 bag on the weekend every day. It was just a lifestyle as I was at Uni with a Job at Starbucks (UK). But then I started to get increased anxiety and sickness often. Trying to stop is hard and everyone tells you, "you cant get addicted to weed". What I had to do was admit that I was addicted to it for one reason or another and I did not want that for myself or for my health. The "doing nothing" days were the hardest. So I cut down by not smoking when I knew I had something to do, a event, a gig, a party, seeing a friend, the cinema or something. I made sure not to smoke and slowly I enjoyed these things sober. Then I started eat before I smoked on my "nothing evenings" when it was hardest not to. I would cook something new and fun and then eat it sober. I took small steps, little interventions. Then a year later I did not smoke at all. I also put cash aside each time I did not smoke and realsied by the end of the month how much money I could save. I would then buy something nice to do something fun sober. Also, after six months I started to ask people around me if they preferred me when I was high or sobor. Everytime it was sober. Unless, it was someone who I smoked with. I had to cut them out as "misery loves company". I lost weight as a part of this, but it was not my main goal. I had more energy to walk and run, I wanted to fill my evenings with the gym, took up boxing. My short term memory is back, sometimes that odd song or feeling on a evening makes me remember what it was like to smoke, but I have to step back and think "you can enjoy this without weed". Alow yourself too. Feel it all and don't be afraid of it. It was really getting in touch with my soul again, which is hard if you are damaged slightly. But you have to, to see it through. Speak to friends or spescilists if you can. You are not alone, a lot of people try to overcome addiction in many forms. I wish the best for you.

Anyway now I'm just at the high end of normal weight according to the BMI for me height, been using Kickoff to help out with an exercise plan and been making healthier meal choices. I do still cheat and eat junk but I'm trying to turn my extra snacking healthier now too. Like my go-to snack now is some tortilla chips and medium salsa where in the past it would have been a bowl of ice cream. Also primarily drinking water has helped a lot where in the past I would drink soda pop like it was water. I use Mio for flavoring or other zero calorie sweetened water drinks like one called fruit20, that's helped eliminate a ton of empty calories.

As an ex-obese man (lost 50kg), I can say that he's right when saying that you should begin with small objectives.

Then as i'm a nerd, I spent a lot of time learning about nutrition and I got the reflex of looking at the labels.

Hey, swimmer here! I also was a lifeguard for 2 years so I've been around the natatorium quite a bit 😂. There is absolutely no way she is swimming 2.5 kilometers a day. At the height of my senior year I was swimming around 12 kilometers a week and lost 20 lbs over the course of 2 months (160lbs to 140lbs). Keep in mind I'm a 6 foot male so I was absolutely tiny when I was swimming that much. It was one of the hardest things my body has ever done. I cannot believe that she is swimming more than me, especially at her weight. Speaking from my lifeguard experience larger pool users usually get winded while entering the pool/ walking into the shallow end. Swimming takes a lot of breathing control and lung capacity. It's easier for smaller people since they don't have to drag as much mass through the pool. If she truly was swimming that much (very/ nearly impossibly likely) she would have to eat more than 4000 cals a day to keep gaining weight. I would be absolutely gobsmacked if she truly swam that much. It's obvious she lies a lot and is in denial that her weight is an issue. I urge anyone who wants to lose weight to start with small changes to diet and try taking a walk here and there. Weight loss/gain is a lifestyle choice. If you start to eat and act healthier your body will show that. It will take time but remember, Rome wasnt build in a day!

[@dronesclubhighjinks]

@@alabamalanche Aww thank you! It does not seem silly to me at all that encouraging comments are helpful! It's so important to be aware that one is not alone struggling with whatever individual challenges one has. Trust me, you'll find a lot of kindred spirits in the comments sections of the videos of the channels I mentioned. The most difficult part is acknowledging that one has a problem, and you have done that successfully! Your weight loss journey will probably create some new challenges but that is perfectly normal. It might help to write down your motivation for change and put that on your bedroom mirror or in your car or someplace where you're going to see it frequently. The difficulty in breaking acquired habits/emotional dependence/addictions like overeating or smoking is that when things go wrong in life, people tend to revert back to their old coping mechanism. I just looked up the weight loss app Noom, which uses a variety of tools which they claim will not only help one lose weight, but gets each individual to discover the psychological reasons behind their eating patterns. They provide nutritional advice and do not outlaw particular foods. It's more like Noom gives one the education to make informed choices for oneself. I'm not getting paid by this company, and I have not tried it myself. It interested me because this is the first time I've seen a weight loss program, which tries to discover the underlying cause of a client's eating habits instead of just focusing on the food. I benefited hugely from cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which gets the patient to record things that happen during the day, their emotional response to each, and then, to analyze it with a therapist in a dispassionate manner, for the purpose of evaluating the emotional reaction, and being able to change it to something more productive. It seems that Noom uses this concept. Elite athletes use something similar to CBT with sports psychologists, in order to deal with nerves, anxiety, and pressure to maximize their performance potential. I wish I had had this available in high school, but better late than never! I would recommend CBT to absolutely everybody because it is such an excellent way to really get to know oneself. I'm going to especially recommend the channel "the cynical dude" because he uploads every weekday at 3 PM Eastern time so it's an easy habit to get into watching his videos. It doesn't matter if you're not able to watch it immediately. It's just good to know that there will be an upload every day and you will bump into a lot of the same people in the comment section every day. Every Wednesday, his theme is "what I eat in a day". He features TikTok videos of self proclaimed fat people who say this is what they eat. He records it, and then assigns a grade out of 10 for the quality of nutrition. This is actually extremely helpful. There are many comments from people saying how much they appreciate that type of video as it makes them think about what they put in their mouth before they eat it, and that they find themselves thinking about food choices in terms of what would "the cynical dude" say about this choice? Well, if you've made it to the end of my essay, thank you for reading it! Hopefully, I'll meet you in another comment section sometime soon!

I have a friend who always said she didn’t eat all day and didn’t know why she was fat. Then we hung out one evening and she ate an entire family size bag of Cheetos.

they should’ve just asked kelly drinkwater to do 15 jumping jacks and see how she does

[@ProfessorTakatoPalm]

After watching My 600 lbs life, I’ve learned the truth. While many things happen and it leads people to eat, they are the ones who got themselves where they are. You can’t shift the blame to anyone and expect change. It all starts with you. If you wanna change than make that change, don’t expect someone to do it for you. Only you can do that.

[@drake000666]

I would not agree with that totally, to many kids are being made or allowed to be fat by their parents and you will find that a fat kid that grows up fat has very little hope of losing that weight as they get older and a lot of that is on parents, bad habits when young leads to bad habits when older.

Thing is it doesnt matter what the cause of your issue is. All that matters is realizing no one is going to fix it for you. Its up to you to buckle down and fix it.

Quick question, Do you think irresponsible people just suddenly popped out of nowhere in the last 70 years and it's located entirely in North America and English speaking countries? No. they always existed. What didn't exist was fast food, seed oils, GMOs etc. It's the corporations to blame. If the government has a duty to protect it's citizens then they should protect people from obesity.

@@kylevernon I'd rather not live in a nanny state

[@kylevernon]

@@BlueGamingRage You already do. To acknowledge the legitimacy of law is to live in a society where the government tells you what to do. Wether that government is “of the people” is a different issue. The market is nothing but a form of direct democracy. Americans look down on direct democracy because of the tyranny of the majority. Isn’t that what the market is? The “majority” being the money and not necessarily individuals. The market is simply the will of the people with the most money. Am I to accept the legitimacy of some boardroom or some incompetent buffoon who wants to put cheap chemicals in foods to make extra profit? How is a that any different than some politician or bureaucrats who are incompetent buffoons. Be a man. Reject markets. Reject democracy. Embrace Force and the use of it.

"I eat lots of fruits and veggies" was the number one response I would always get when people would ask me for nutrition advice. I was always like, "No, Karen, you don't 😅. "

[@caracho7191]

"But if I mix it in orange juice or a smoothie?" "Fries are also made of potatoes and burgers contain a salad leaf" Yeah I agree, maybe they eat fruits but it contains too much sugar or they drink juices and smoothies which still leaves you hungry and has sugar.

[@UnscrupulousAgitator]

Fruits in smoothies Lettuce & tomatoes on burgers 😂

[@victor-kafka]

You can eat a lot of veggies and still be fat, because they eat other things as well

[@brianjohnson5620]

Vegetables like peas, potatoes, and corns are high in starches. Even saying "I eat a salad every day" what is on that salad? Cheese is Sat Fat, curitons (sp?) are carbs, and dressing is oils. "Low fat" or "light" foods cut uses carbs to replace the fats.

[@SigmaGrindset-vg4oh]

I don't eat veggies like ever, but still I am in a good shape. Maybe the fat people should learn about calories in and calories out.

[@licensed_beheader]

Something tells me she doesn't exercise anything unless running your mouth wildly is considered exercise. Also the fact shes always on edge and defensive for no reason is quite telling.

[@anonmouse15]

She's in a strange new environment of which not everyone agrees with her and being offended is not a universal defence.

As someone who started their Weight journey lose I was 310 and now 220. This channel really helped me. I been running a mile everyday and going to the gym. It really as simple energy in and energy out.

[@chrism4008]

Thats awesome, great work!

[@brianjohnson5620]

Here here my man. I am on that same journey as I lose over 100 lbs so far. My doctor said I would been slapped in the face if I yelled in the lobby "I lose 90 lbs in 6 months with dieting and excise." I'm trending to be at 250 in a couple of weeks and be close to ideal in October.

[@unklegaz8392]

What I've learned about asking obese people about their diets is they by far eat the healthiest foods all the time without ever snacking and just have really bad metabolisms.

[@joshuadooley181]

Not everyone will appreciate the sarcasm, but I do. 😊

[@_NeKoChAnP]

Yes, I have the hypothesis that there must be a different gen in these persons or something, I don't understand why scientist can't find it!!! 😮

[@dianebrooks1859]

Literally had this exact conversation the other day with an entire morbidly obese family. I just nodded my head and switched the subject

[@adamd9166]

There are some actual hormonal diseases that make it more difficult to lose weight, I'll grant them that. But that doesn't let them defy physics by somehow storing more calories than they consume.

[@unklegaz8392]

@@adamd9166 right, but that effects a very small amount of people. And like you said, it just slows your metabolism that makes it easier to gain weight. I've worked with people who 100% have these disorders and the look great. They just need to adjust their intake. If this lady really ate the way she wouldn't be massively obese

[@varashamus7633]

I use a wheelchair and when I was a kid my grandfather's gf said I should have been aborted. That was not a challenge for me to justify my existence. It was a challenge of my ability to be civil for the rest of the visit. I won, btw. Not only do I still live but I was never required to visit them again.

[@23345star]

Dude I LOVE your videos calling these people out. They are excellent motivation for me to stick to my routine and fixing myself. I cannot express my gratitude enough.

[@profbucko]

You touched on something huge about making your own chilli So many people don't have basic cooking skills and basic knowledge of what food actualy is and how to prepare genuinely nutritious and tasty meals. I lost so much weight and am generally healthier by cooking as much of my own meals as possible.

[@SuperFranzs]

Chili is honestly one of the easiest foods to make. You can't even burn it (unless you have your top on 9). Just throw some beans and some tomato sauce in a pot. Add onions, chili, garlic to taste. A great trick for a good consistency is to add one or two squares of dark cooking chocolate.

[@Beau_Guerrier]

For mor taste id suggest caramelising onions first by puttin high heat and watching them. It adds soooo much flavor ​@@SuperFranzs

[@SuperFranzs]

@@Beau_Guerrier Oooh! I need to try that next time!

[@katlicks]

My biggest vice was soda, when I cooked I always ate really healthily, but it was the soda that got me. Never had to sacrifice a good, filling meal to get fit, just had to ditch the soda.

[@LissyVee]

I started looking up calorie/carb/sugar/protein whether it’s a fruit/vegetable/meat when I’d get an idea for a meal and I keep a food journal where I write everything I eat and drink and calculate the calories to the best of my abilities from research (I usually add a little more to be on the safe side). I try to stick to 1200 and focus on fibers and proteins versus how many calories I’m expending in a day (not many, I hate exercise) and I stopped drinking alcohol and honestly just stick to coffee and water. I don’t have a scale so I don’t know how much I’m losing and I’m honestly less focused on the number and more focused on how my body looks and feels. It’s admittedly not that hard to do this stuff! It’s like a hobby for me ETA: don’t eat unless you’re genuinely hungry!! If you’re just craving something and you’re aiming to lose fat, don’t give in to it or eat something like a cucumber or watermelon
